Drummer Richard Christy (ex-DEATH, ICED EARTH, CONTROL DENIED) has issued the following update:

Majestic Loincloth is on Youtube! Tons More Richard and Sal Comedy Shows!

"Hello Everybody,

I have tons of news about more Richard and Sal Comedy Shows but first and foremost I’d like to announce that after many years of talk and speculation from the Hollywood community, my film Majestic Loincloth has finally been released! This is a film that I shot way back in 2002-2004 and needless to say, it is possibly the Manliest, most Sword Swinging, Headbanging, and all around Idiotic movie of all time! If you want a good laugh then you should definitely check it out! It is on Youtube.com in Two Parts. Here are the links to Majestic Loincloth:

Something else that’s on YouTube.com right now that I’m extremely proud of is video of me introducing my favorite band COHEED AND CAMBRIA at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City! I want to sincerely thank the guys in Coheed And Cambria and their manager Blaze for allowing me to introduce them at the most famous arena in the world! It was such a rush! If you wanna check it out you can go here:

Coheed and Cambria, SLIPKNOT and TRIVIUM sounded amazing that night! I know members of all three bands so I was very proud to see all of them playing Madison Square Garden which is something every musician, including me, dreams of! I’m still hoping that one day I’ll be able to play drums there.

Speaking of music, I can’t give any specifics right now but I will be recording some of my own music very soon with some very special friends of mine! I’ve been writing an album for the last three years and I’m hoping to release it by the end of this year, it’s very brutal, melodic metal and I’m SOOOO psyched to get back into the studio! If you’d like a sample of some of the music I’ve written recently there’s a YouTube.com video of an instrumental that I wrote for my Howard TV drumming special that you can check out here:

You can also hear the song when you open my Myspace page.

Now for all of you horror fans out there, myself and my work partner Sal 'The Stockbroker' Governale are two characters in the new horror novel, Castaways, by my favorite writer Brian Keene! I’m a huge fan of Brian’s, he’s a brilliant writer and his novels scare the crap out of me! It is such an honor to be a part of one of his books! I’ve been reading Brian’s work for years now and it’s so surreal and awesome to read about me being stalked by bloodthirsty creatures on a deserted island! I’m about halfway through reading the book now and it’s amazing! If you know Sal and I from the Stern Show then you’ll get a kick out of some of the stuff written about us in this book! You can buy the book Castaways at all major bookstores and online and you can get more info about Brian Keene at www.briankeene.com.

I’m also psyched that a film that I was recently featured in Harold And Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay is now playing on Cinemax and Cinemax On Demand. The movie is hilarious and a lot of fun, get some friends together, grab some refreshments and be prepared to laugh your private parts off!

I have to admit something right now, I love to drink beer and listen to country music! I grew up in Kansas and when I listen to George Strait, Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn it brings back great memories of growing up in the country. So I’m happy to say that myself and Sal Governale are appearing at Bama Jam, a concert featuring tons of Country and Rock bands including Alan Jackson, Kid Rock, and Brooks and Dunn! The oncert takes place in Enterprise, Alabama on June 4-6 and I’m so psyched to come hang out with fans, hear some great music, and introduce some of the bands! Sal and I will be appearing there all day Saturday June 6th! Come out and say hi and hang with me and Sal! For more info go to www.bamajammusicfestival.com.

Well, I hope to see all of you at one or our comedy shows or appearances coming up soon! Sal and I will be meeting and greeting all of the crowds after every comedy show so definitely come up say hi, take some pictures and have some laughs with us!"

Take Care and Hope to See Y'all Soon!
