November 5, 2014, 10 years ago
Fozzy, featuring vocalist/WWE wrestling star Chris Jericho and members of Stuck Mojo, have released a video for the track "Do You Wanna Start A War".
Says Jericho: ""We wanted the video for "Do You Wanna Start A War" to be sleek, sexy, frantic, inspirational, energetic and most importantly... VERY FUCKIN COOL... and we got it!”
Rich Ward (guitars) adds: "Fog, slow motion camera shots, and chicks in military uniforms. Touchdown!"
Fozzy recently issued a track-by-track breakdown of their new album, Do Ya Wanna Start A War. Check out the clip featuring Jericho and Ward below:
Fozzy has announced The Cinderblock Party Tour, a headlining run in support of their new single and title track of their most recent album, Do You Wanna Start A War.
The Cinderblock Party Tour is a 19-date trek kicking off in Flint, MI on Novemeber 20th with special guests Texas Hippie Coalition and Shaman's Harvest. A full set of dates can be seen below.
In other news, Fozzy recently announced the addition of Jeff Rouse as their new bass player. Jeff is an incredible musician and singer who has spent the last decade playing in Duff McKagan's Loaded and is also the lead singer and guitar player in The Guessing Game. After former bassist Paul DiLeo amicably and mutually parted ways with Fozzy last May, Jeff stepped in and immediately injected his amazing musicianship and electrifying stage presence into Fozzy's already critically acclaimed live show.
"I'm stoked to have been asked to join Fozzy and to hit the road to support Do You Wanna Start A War! Can't wait to see everyone out there!" Rouse said.
Rich Ward comments, "The first time I saw Jeff play with Duff McKagan's Loaded, it was immediately apparent that I was watching a special talent. He's a pocket player with killer tone and amazing stage presence. One of the few total package musicians that I have ever known and it's an honor to call him a bandmate and more importantly, my brother."
Chris Jericho says, "I'm very excited to welcome Jeff into the band. His attitude, energy, charisma and playing skills instantly make Fozzy a better band and we are looking forward to a long, prosperous and sexy relationship with him!"
