Moore was best known for his work with Thin Lizzy, a band he was brought into by singer Phil Lynott. The pair had played together previously in Irish group Skid Row.

The key issues addressed were the rumored U.S. tour plans as well as the relaunch of "Chinese Democracy." Here is what he had to say:

"We've already had people talk to us about doing [an anniversary tour]," Mustaine told the VH1 Radio Network. "I told our manager that I'm totally interested in doing Peace Sells� for a 25th anniversary this year, but I don't want to do it all year like we did with Rust in Peace.

The building at 96 St. Mark's Place was made famous in 1975 when designer Peter Corriston and cover artist Mike Doud photographed it (and the neighboring 98 St. Mark's Place) for the cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album.

Chycki confirmed the news on his website: Ok, so the word is out. I've been in the studio for last month remixing the original Moving Pictures CD in 5.1 surround. I finished tweaks on 'Red Barchetta' yesterday. It really was an amazing experience to spread the original tracks of such a classic CD into the 3D word of surround. (The car speeds off, goes behind and banks a sharp right in rear BTW). The listening experience is drastically enveloping and coupled with songs and performances that epitomize this band, it's definitely a great time to re-discover Rush.

49. "School's Out," Alice Cooper (1972): Few riffs have been as instantly memorable as the one that powers Alice Cooper's "School's Out." According to original Cooper bassist Dennis Dunaway, lead guitarist Glen Buxton came up with the part during the band's early years, while jamming with songwriter-guitarist Reggie Vincent. Coupled with Cooper's serrated vocals, the part became ferocious. "Glen's playing was all about feel, and was edgy and loose," Dunaway says. "His playing was like an angry hornet." �Russell Hall

"Know Thy Overseer" is one of the band's favorite songs produced by Earl Hudson from legendary hardcore band Bad Brains. EARL received the original version on disc then came back to the rehearsal spot and re-arranged the song. Once the music was re-arranged and ready to be recorded we laid down the tracks here at Griffin Studios here in Atlanta, GA.

Earl showed our drummer some techniques on accents and grooves also he tried to pump us up to give the tracks more life and energy. "Know Thy Overseer" is a song that talks about addictions be it drugs, food, sex or whatever it is they are dealing with. It motivates and informs the individual that this issue is another test that is presented to the individual in life. The individual needs to own up to the mistake and find whatever it is inside of them to become victorious over the situation. In ancient Egypt in the ancient mystery school a sign would hang in the entrances of the temples and it would read. "know thyself". "KNOW THY OVERSEER" was influenced by this thought process. Quite simply once you realize who you are you control your own actions and become accountable and responsible.

According to the Daily Express he was distraught: "My excitement always turns into a real dose of fear when I'm waiting for a chart position or to find out whether the radio's going to play our record. It's like waiting for that envelope to drop through the door and see you've got a D in geography. I was quite distraught that "Some Kind of Nothingness," our single, missed the Top 40.
