BEYOND FEAR / ICED EARTH frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens has issued the following update in the wake of his performance at NAMM 2007 as part of the BLACK TOOTH BAND tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott:
"It was great to jam with the guys and also jamming 'Grinder' with Nick Catanese (BLS), John J.D. Deservio (BLS), Brian Tichy (Billy Idol) and Mike Stone (QUEENSRYCHE). Man, they all are great musicians… what a blast... and also jamming at soundcheck with no PA and yelling with Jason Bitner (SHADOWS FALL) on drums (Vinnie Paul was signing stuff) and with Scott Ian (ANTHRAX) and Nick Bowcott (GRIM REAPER). Paul (SLIPKNOT) wasn't there yet either.As for the finale with Scott Ian, Vinnie Paul, Nick and Paul, all I can say is pinch me, always have wanted to jam with Scott and Vinnie, maybe we can do this one show a month!!!! YEAH!

PS: Thanks to Nancy for all her help!"
