FOZZY - Chris Jericho Talks Live DVD, Third Autobiography
July 31, 2012, 12 years ago
FOZZY will release their new album, Sin And Bones, on August 14th via Century Media Records. Jason Price of Icon Vs. Icon recently sat down with Fozzy frontman and WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, an excerpt from their chat follows:
Now you have major label backing, has there been any talk of a possible DVD/Blu-ray release to capture the Fozzy live performance experience?
"Oh yeah! We would love to! We did a DVD of some live stuff that we were going to release with the record (Sin And Bones) but the idea with Century Media was, 'Why focus on old stuff when you can focus on something new.' I think that is definitely one of the thought processes. I am really looking forward to getting on the road, really honing our band and focusing our attack! Once you do that for a couple of months, a DVD release is the next obvious thing. We would love to do that to capture the power of the band on film!"You already penned two of the most compelling autobiographies that one could hope for (A Lion's Tale: Around The World In Spandex, and Undisputed: How To Become World Champion In 1,372 Easy Steps). Rumor has it you are working on a third?
"Yeah! Rumor has it that I have signed a deal for a third but I haven’t really started working on it yet because I have been pretty busy. However, that is one of the things I start doing when we hit the road with Uproar. You have a lot of time to kill on tour! When you have 30 minutes on stage each night, it leaves you with 23 1/2 hours in between to kill! I am sure there will be a lot of working on the foundation on the book then. It is a long project, writing a book, and like you said, I have been fortunate enough to write two very good ones in the past. I have big shoes to fill or books to write when it comes to this third one! When the time is right, I will get the muse and get the inspiration. I already have more than enough material for the third book, so I think people will dig it when it is ready to go!"To read the interview in its entirety, click here.
Fozzy will resume touring in support of Sin And Bones on August 17th in Kansas City, MO at Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone. Their complete live itinerary is available at this location.
