BYD Deny Maiden Incident

Day in Rock reports: [Bury Your Dead have issued the following statement after some report said Sharon and Belly Osbourne got the band to help them in the incident against Iron Maiden at Ozzfest last summer. Here is the Bury Your Dead's side of the story] To whom it may concern,

Despite the rumors of August 20th Ozzfest, Bury Your Dead had nothing to with what transpired during Iron

Maiden’s set. Although being asked to be apart of what took place, we declined out of respect for Iron Maiden

as we are all fans and watched the band almost every night. I’m sorry to see that people are so quick to

believe what’s written on the internet, and we are confident we will be exonerated.

Vivian Campbell Solo CD

press release reports: After a career spent anchoring some of the most illustrious bands in rock (including the last 13 years with Def Leppard), guitarist Vivian Campbell found himself stealing away to smoky blues clubs around his adopted home of Los Angeles whenever he wasn't on tour. Enamored with the roots of his rock, Campbell decided it was time for a long-overdue history lesson in the music that he had come to make a career of. The Irish axeman journeyed all the way back to the music of the deep south, reliving the early days of the blues and emerged with Two Sides of If, a collection of songs Campbell fell in love with as he taught himself to live, breathe and love the blues. Admittedly, this trek is one undertaken by many guitarists, but none who can claim to have helped influenced Metallica (with his first band, Sweet Savage), helped launch Ronnie James Dio's post-Sabbath career at just 19, and went on to spend over a decade with one of the biggest rock bands in the world. In stores on September 27th (Sanctuary Records), the album is a heartfelt labor of love from Campbell; a thank you note to the great bluesmen of the past for laying the groundwork for upstarts like himself.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
