ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian has issued a new Food Coma entry via SuicideGirls.com. An excerpt appears below:
"One of the definitions of maniac is an obsessive enthusiast and I guess you can say that I am an obsessive enthusiast over everything I do so when I was approached to be a part of a wine pairing where wines are going to be paired with LED ZEPPELIN songs, I maniacally answered yes. The event is taking place in NYC on May 2nd at City Winery, which is an amazing wine bar/restaurant/live music venue.My friend Joe Bastianich (restaurateur, winemaker, guitar player and headbanger, he co-owns Babbo, Osteria Mozza, The Spotted Pig etc etc with Mario Batali) came up with this concept a few months ago and asked me what I thought about it. At that moment I realized Joe was a maniac like me and I told him I thought it was a great idea. I wasn't sure how he would pull it off but I loved his passion for it. To take Jimmy Page's riffs and figure out what wine would go best with let's say 'Kashmir' or 'Whole Lotta Love' was a leap only an obsessive enthusiast could make.
Well, he did it. He tried it out at a restaurant called Becco in NYC and the event sold out instantly. Now he's taking it up to another level and flying in the best Zeppelin cover band in the world, SIX FOOT NURSE from LA (as well as yours truly) to be a part of this one. They've paired six amazing wines with six Zeppelin songs. Joe and wine writer David Lynch are going to explain the reasons why each wine goes with each particular song and then The Nurse is gonna blow your head off."
