<h2>Twisted Sister Double Live: North Stage &#8216;82, NY Steel &#8216;01</h2>
<p>is a double-disc DVD package consisting of two Twisted Sister concerts, 19 years apart. It contains over three hours of the most Twisted rock&#8217;n'roll and heavy metal ever!</p>
<p>In 1982, Twisted Sister was the wildest, most outrageous club band on the Long Island, New York scene. As a goodbye to their loyal fans just prior to the band crossing the Atlantic to record its groundbreaking Under The Blade debut album, guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, vocalist Dee Snider, bassist Mark Mendoza and drummer A.J. Pero performed at The North Stage Theater on Long Island.</p>
<p>This incendiary concert footage-in its entirety-represents the only commercially-released video performances of long-retired club favorites &#8220;Lady&#8217;s Boy&#8221; and I&#8217;ll Never Grow Up&#8221; among the 14 stand-out tracks. The disc comes complete with brand new interviews from all five musicians about their feelings as they left the New York club scene to become an international phenomenon.</p>
<p>In 2001, with New York City reeling from the effects of September 11, Twisted Sister, who hadn&#8217;t played together for 13 years, were asked if they&#8217;d headline &#8220;New York Steel&#8221; to benefit the families of those firefighters and police officers who lost their lives. Putting aside personal difficulties for the good of the cause, the band started rehearsing. Scenes of those rehearsals, as well as profound new interviews chronicling the intense inter-band chemistry, are revealing and fascinating. When the band was introduced that night, with New York Mets baseball hero Mike Piazza on stage, the reaction was so spectacular that the seeds were planted for a return to form that continues to this day.</p>

<p class="gold"><a href="http://houseofhaironline.com/contest-entry-form-win-a-megadeth-cd/">ENTER TO WIN NOW! </a></p>
<p class="clear">
<p>Megadeth’s vital, Platinum-certified album, Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?, has been digitally remastered for the first time and expanded for a commemorative 25th Anniversary release in multiple configurations on July 12 by Capitol/EMI.</p>
<p>All of the versions, including a 2CD lift-top box, digital album, and a deluxe 5Disc+3LP box set, include a previously unreleased 1987 concert from the band’s first world tour and new liner notes written by Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine and Metallica’s Lars Ulrich.</p>
<p>In his liner notes for the new edition, Dave Mustaine reflects on writing the album’s title track:  “I had written other lyrics by now, but there was something different about ‘Peace Sells’ because it told my story about my faith; my beliefs; my distrust of government; my work ethic; my integrity. This was MY song.”</p>
<p>Released in 1986, Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? was Megadeth’s second album and the band’s first Capitol/EMI release.  The acclaimed album thrust Megadeth into the international spotlight, and it remains a powerful thrash metal staple.</p>
<p>Megadeth is currently on tour in Europe.  On April 23, Megadeth will again join forces with Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax for The Big Four Festival in Indio, California, and The Big Four have confirmed several European shows for July.  Megadeth will also play more than 20 North American dates in July and August on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with Disturbed, Godsmack, Machine Head, In Flames and Trivium.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NIGHT RANGER WINNERS…Round Deux!</h2>
<p>Congrats to the following winners in part two of our recent Night Ranger giveaway. All have scored autographed copies of Night Ranger’s new studio album, Somewhere In California.</p>
<p>High fives to grand prize winner <strong>KZLE/Batesville, AR</strong>, listener <strong>Angie in Mountain Home, AR</strong>, who also scores two VIP tickets plus backstage passes to meet the band at a show of her choice; a <strong>JBL Cinema</strong> home theater speaker system worth over $800, and an autographed Solid Body Classic electric guitar from <strong>Taylor Guitars</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Angie’s winning entry:</strong></p>
<p><em> “I&#8217;ve been a fan of Night Ranger since I was a teenager. I was pretty convinced when the song ‘When You Close Your Eyes’ came on the radio, they were singing directly to me: ‘Angie, come closer to me.’ My best friend back then, also an Angie, was pretty certain it was for her. Regardless, no hairbrush microphone was immune when that song played.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m (gulp) 42 years old, married and have a grown son. We often take road trips and it never seems to fail that on one particular road, just outside of our town, ‘Sister Christian’ will play. It has been aptly dubbed by my husband as the ‘Sister Christian Highway.’</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t for one second think that just because we drive a minivan we don&#8217;t turn it up as loud as our little speakers will allow! Winning this would not only be ‘totally awesome’ but it would make me feel like a kid again! Oh, and, as a plus, I could tell my best friend, Angie, that they really were singing ‘When You Close Your Eyes’ to me!”</em></p>
<p><strong>Nine winners receive Night Ranger&#8217;s new album, Somewhere In California:</strong></p>

<h3>CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NIGHT RANGER ROUND ONE WINNERS!</H3></p>
<p>Congrats to Round One grand prize winner, WHMH Rockin’ 101 listener Jim Clemenson in Plymouth, MN. Here’s a look at his winning entry:</p>
<p><em>When CDs were launched I had just installed the loudest car stereo I could find, with the best speakers I could find. I was going to scare the cr*p out of my friends by having them sit in the car, crank it up, and blast them with the “Rock in America” guitar intro. Well, I did scare my friends, but I also blew out the speakers and shattered two windows in the car. I found new speakers, but went for a couple of weeks without windows. Therefore, my small town always heard me driving around with Night Ranger tunes blaring out the windows.  I became known as the Night Ranger Kid that really knew how to rock. I&#8217;ve since seen them in concert many times, close to stage many times, but have never met them.  I became a concert fanatic because of them, attending over 650 concerts to date.  The fact that they’re still together making great rock n’ roll is a testament to their longevity.  Rock on!”</em>
</p>
<p class="clear">Our winner, Jim Clemenson with Steve Volkman and Night Ranger!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER!</H3></p>
<p>Congrats to KDKB/Phoenix listener Brian Schenk of Florence, AZ, who was the grand prize winner of our recent Warrant giveaway. In addition to scoring a copy of the band’s new CD, Rockaholic, Brian and a guest have scored VIP tickets to a Warrant show of his choice (Reno, NV), including a hotel stay and a one-hour private guitar lesson with Joey Allen!</p>
<p>Here is Brian&#8217;s winning entry:</p>
<p><em>“OTTER POPS! I recall reading Metal Edge in the ‘80s and Gerri Miller wrote that Joey loved OTTER POPS! I&#8217;ll bring them and some Heinekens for the lesson!</p>
<p>I loved his work on all Warrant albums and when he switched to a banjo for “Uncle Tom&#8217;s Cabin,” my jaw dropped! He is very talented and an underrated guitarist! “Shredder” is an awesome stamp for this man with fingers of lightning!</p>
<p>I would love to learn one of my favorite Warrant songs, “In The Sticks!” I don&#8217;t know how to play a lick on the axe and can’t even think of anyone else other than JOEY ALLEN to teach me for 60 mind numbing minutes (this took me one minute and 14 seconds to type, so my fingers have the skills, but not the right guidance!)! HELP ME, JOEY! I AM A ‘ROCKAHOLIC!’”</em></p>

<p><img src="http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/M3winners-259x300.jpg" alt="M3winners" title="M3winners" width="259" height="300" class="floatright" /><br />
After sifting through thousands of great entries, the HOH is happy to announce we have a Grand Prize winner for the VIP trip to the M3 Rock Festival next weekend &#8211; Mike Kinler from Luling, Louisiana who listens to Bayou 95.7 &#8211; WKBU! </p>
<p>There were many reasons we liked Mike&#8217;s entry:</p>
<p>1)  He was a first responder who weathered out Hurricane Katrina and stayed to help.</p>
<p>2)  He wanted to set a good example for his two kids, so he went back to law school.</p>
<p>3)  He actually admits losing his virginity to &#8230; Warrant!  &#8220;Cherry Pie&#8221; anyone?</p>
<p>4)  He proudly admits to being an ex-mulleteer &#8230; and he sent us a photo to prove it.  Mike, that is F-I-N-E ! ! !</p>
<p>Mike has decided to take his lovely wife Mary to the show.  In addition to getting the free airfare, hotel and show tickets, Mike and Mary will be meeting lots of the bands on the bill, and we have confirmed that they will even be able to hang out with Warrant and tell them his story!</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who entered the contest.  Next week we&#8217;ll announce the runner-up list, who along with Mike, will all be receiving the new CDs from Whitesnake, Mr. Big and Gary Cherone&#8217;s Hurtsmile, all courtesy of Frontiers Records.</p>
<h3>Here&#8217;s Mike&#8217;s winning entry:</h3>
<p>
<em>Dee, I am a proud ex-mullet wearing headbanger from the New Orleans Area. I may not have the hair any more but the music lives on inside my heart. First let me tell you how my life has changed since my younger days. I am now a husband and father of 2. I went through hurricane Katrina, and since my present job makes me a first responder I stayed and rode out the storm here in New Orleans.</p>
<p>Since the storm I have returned to school to get a degree from Loyola University in New Orleans. I am a senior and about to graduate in May. I know it is a little late to be back in school at the age of 38, but I wanted to be a good example for my kids. This would be a great graduation gift after 4 years of a fulltime job, full time school, and full time family. I could really use the weekend away and listening to some kick-ass metal bands from my day rocking on stage would be a dream come true. I have seen almost every one of these bands at one time in my life and some more than once, but never together. I even lost my virginity as Warrant was spinning on my record player&#8230;that&#8217;s right&#8230;vinyl before vinyl was considered retro and cool. Don&#8217;t even think I had a cassette player at that time.</p>
<p><img src="http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/winner_bw-226x300.jpg" alt="winner_bw" title="winner_bw" width="226" height="300" class="floatright" />I am sure you will have a lot of great emails to pick through but I hope you at least consider my request to be the one who goes to the show, I would even consider taking the wife with me for the weekend. <img src='http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Since she has been great support as I have been so, so, so, so, so busy the last few years. <-- catch that hint about how I could use this get away again? because I could do a bunch more as subtle as that one.</p>
<p>Rock on brother, Mike</p>
<p>p.s. I still have my mullet pictures from 1989 if you need to verify that I had said mullet!</em></p>
<p><img src="http://houseofhaironline.com/Images/skully_tr.gif" border="0" alt="HOH Skully" /> Thanks to ALL the HOH and Metal Fans who entered the contest!<br />
- Dee and the House of Hair Team!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3196" title="m3" src="http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/m3.jpg" alt="m3" width="546" height="518" /></p>

<h3>WHITESNAKE</h3>
<p><img class="floatright" title="whitesnake" src="http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/whitesnake.jpg" alt="whitesnake" width="300" height="300" />Whitesnake&#8217;s FOREVERMORE finds founder/singer/songwriter David Coverdale and company returning to their no-holds-barred, bluesiest, sexiest rock n&#8217; roll roots. This will be Whitesnake&#8217;s first release via the Italian-based Frontiers Records label. FOREVERMORE was recorded, produced and mixed by Los Bros Brutalos (Coverdale, Doug Aldrich and Michael McIntyre) at Snakebyte Studios and Grumblenott Studios &amp; Villas in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, with additional work at Casa Dala, Sherman Oaks, CA.  Whitesnake unleash the brand new single and video, &#8220;Love Will Set You Free.&#8221; Directed by Devin DeHaven/Fortress Entertainment (Papa Roach, Method Man, Talib Kweli), the video was shot in Lake Tahoe, NV and features cameos by Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale&#8217;s son Justin and wife, Cindy (who is the inspiration for the song). &#8220;Love Will Set You Free&#8221; is the first single from the new Whitesnake album, FOREVERMORE.</p>
<p>Formed in 1977, and steered by the legendary David Coverdale, Whitesnake carry a rightful reputation as one of the world&#8217;s leading rock n&#8217; roll bands. Coverdale&#8217;s blues roots, combined with a feral sense of rockin&#8217; and rollin&#8217;, have consistently shaped the &#8216;Snake&#8217;s sound along with Coverdale&#8217;s love and appreciation of impeccable musicianship. Whitesnake&#8217;s ascent to the very top of the rock n&#8217; roll heap was confirmed with 1987&#8217;s self-titled mega-platinum album, which saw two massive Top 10 hits, two #1 singles with &#8220;Here I Go Again&#8221; and &#8220;Is This Love&#8221; and a virtual 24-hour domination of MTV around the world.<br />
Whitesnake is: David Coverdale (vocals), Doug Aldrich (guitars), Reb Beach (guitars), Michael Devin (bass) and Brian Tichy (drums).</p>

<h3>MR. BIG</h3>
<p><img class="floatright" title="mrbig" src="http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/mrbig.jpg" alt="mrbig" width="300" height="300" />Shredder rock-pop metallers Mr. Big are back with brand new album WHAT IF&#8230; The new studio release finds all four original band members reuniting for their first album in 14 years. Produced by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Rush, Iron Maiden), the first single from the album, &#8220;Undertow,&#8221; is impacting radio now. Released last month overseas, WHAT IF&#8230; has hit the European album charts with strong respective debuts including: #36 in Switzerland, #50 in Germany, #71 in Austria, #71 in Italy and #75 in Sweden.</p>
<p>WHAT IF&#8230;will be released in a special edition CD + DVD in digipak, regular CD, vinyl and digital download and in a limited edition luxury box including the CD, DVD, LP and exclusive memorabilia. The DVD includes videos of &#8220;Undertow&#8221; and &#8220;All The Way Up&#8221; plus a documentary &#8220;making of&#8221; the album including interviews and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the four band members.  Tour dates will be announced later this year.</p>
<p>Formed in 1988, Mr. Big forged its place in hard rock history by combining trademark virtuosic musicianship with stellar vocal harmonies. The original (and now reunited) line-up features vocalist Eric Martin, guitarist Paul Gilbert, bassist Billy Sheehan, and drummer Pat Torpey. The quartet produced numerous hit songs that ranged across a wide array of rock genres, including the ubiquitous &#8220;To Be With You,&#8221; which was a Billboard Hot 100 #1 single in 15 countries for weeks, propelling the band to huge international success and record sales in the multi-millions.Formed in 1988, Mr. Big forged its place in hard rock history by combining trademark virtuosic musicianship with stellar vocal harmonies.

The self-titled, HURTSMILE is a raw sonic sucker punch in the face! From the opening buzz saw riff of &#8220;Just War Theory&#8221; to the epic finale of &#8220;Slave&#8221; and &#8220;Beyond The Garden/Kicking Against the Goads&#8221;, Gary continues to push and poke you in the ear with his lyrically provocative themes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hurtsmile was a long time coming&#8230; I always wanted to write a record with my brother,&#8221; says Gary. &#8220;I&#8217;m a big fan of Mark&#8217;s song writing and his snarling guitar riffs.&#8221; The timing was right as Extreme was in-between their touring and record cycle, leaving Gary the freedom. They recruited Joe Pessia (bass) an alumnus of Nuno Bettencourt&#8217;s Dramagods as well as the guitar player for Tantric. Joe also engineered, and co-produced the record with Gary. To round off the lineup they enlisted heavy hitter Dana Spellman on drums &#8220;It&#8217;s an east coast/Boston thing,&#8221; states Gary. &#8220;Mark, my brother, was in a band with Nuno&#8217;s brother&#8230; Joe was in Nuno&#8217;s band and Dana was a friend, and student of Mike Mangini (former Extreme drummer) &#8230; we like to keep it in the family.&#8221;</p>
<p>The lineup is not the only thing familiar with the band. In true Cherone fashion, the record is chock full of swaggering guitar, soaring vocals and the trademark Cherone eclecticism on tracks such as &#8220;Jesus Would You Meet Me&#8221;, the reggae-tinged &#8220;Just War Reprise&#8221; and the Dylan-esque &#8220;The Murder of Daniel Faulkner (4699)&#8221;. &#8220;Hurtsmile was about returning to my roots, writing a record in my basement, a straight up rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll record&#8230; but it turned out to be more diverse and ambitious than I expected.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gary is no stranger to taking on intense topics, and Hurtsmile is no exception. The first half of the record is a group of more loosely knit songs such as the cynically inquisitive &#8220;Just War Theory&#8221;, the limit&#8217;s of free speech &#8220;Tolerance Song&#8221; and the disturbingly mesmerizing &#8220;Kaffur (Infidel)&#8221;, inspired by the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl.<br />
The 2nd half of the record is more conceptually cohesive; an introspective look at the nature of man and the condition of the human heart. &#8220;Stillborn&#8221; introduced earlier, and &#8220;Set Me Free&#8221; both touch on mans inclination toward darkness, culminating with an epic journey from sin to salvation&#8230; &#8220;Slave&#8221; to &#8220;Beyond the Garden/Kicking Against the Goads&#8221;.<br />
For the most part both themes are represented as two sides of a record. A concept familiar to Extreme fans but make no mistake, whether reading between the lines or just moved by the visceral power of the music, this is a completely different type of record. Gary adds, &#8220;All the boys in the band bring something new to the table, and you&#8217;ll never know what hit you!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS!</H3><br />
Huge congratulations are in order for Julie Miller of Columbiana, OH, and her boyfriend Clarence (aka “Bud”). The House of Hair is sending this lucky pair off to the bright lights of Broadway and the big city of New York to catch Dee Snider in the musical, Rock of Ages! Julie and Bud will be enjoying round trip airfare from Ohio to the Big Apple, a two-night stay at the Paramount Hotel, tickets to the show, a CD of the original Broadway cast recording and a meet and greet with Dee after the performance. Enjoy, you two…and make sure to send us some pics of the trip!  24 runners up also got a copy of the cast recording &#8211; see names below!</p>
<p><img src="http://houseofhaironline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Julie-Dee-Bud_roa.jpg" alt="Julie, Dee &amp; Bud_roa" title="Julie, Dee &amp; Bud_roa" width="500" height="327" class="floatleft" /></p>
<p class="clear">Here’s a look at Julie’s winning entry:</p>
<p><strong><em>A few months ago, I read on the House of Hair website about a March of Dimes charity bike run that Dee Snider was leading. The 50-mile run was scheduled to start in Lima, Ohio, and end in Cridersville &#8212; to be named Snidersville &#8212; how cool is that? Lima is 200 miles from our house, but we thought if Dee was going to be that close, we had to go. So, we rode the 200 miles just to be in the run.</p>
<p>My boyfriend, Bud, is one of Dee’s most loyal and dedicated fans. He saw Twisted Sister at the first Rocklahoma. He listens to the House of Hair EVERY Saturday night and keeps a log of all of the songs (even though they’re posted online). Dee, I have to check the playlist every Monday to confirm that we got all of the songs! If we go out Saturday night, we have to be home by 10pm for HOH. But, hey, I don’t mind…at least I know where he is every Saturday night, right? We subscribe to the BuzzCut, and he keeps a copy of each week’s issue. He watched every episode of Growing Up Twisted, and we emailed A&#038;E to keep the show on! When he met Dee and Suzette and the kids in Snidersville, he felt like he already knew them, and Dee and his family treated Bud as if he were a friend of the family. They were all so nice to him…it really meant a great deal to him! They made him feel appreciated! Meeting Dee was a dream come true for Bud.  </p>
<p>We are children of the ‘80s; in fact, that’s one of the things that really brought us together, our love for ‘80s music.  That&#8217;s why seeing Rock of Ages in NYC would be a dream come true!  After meeting for the first time at a friend’s house party, we ran into each other at a Poison concert and have been together ever since!  Nothin’ but a good time! The concerts we have seen together could be pulled right from an HOH playlist: Alice Cooper, Cinderella, Danger Danger, Def Leppard, Dokken, Kiss, LA Guns, Lita, Journey, Scorpions, Trixter.  Our local radio station sponsors an ‘80s time warp prom…my first chance to go was with Bud two years ago.  He has gone every year since it started and dresses as some ‘80s character.  He has gone with his buddies as ZZ Top.  Last year, he was Magnum P.I.  He collects everything ‘80s; movies, music, board games!  </p>
<p>We are also helping to keep the metal alive by introducing my 13-year-old daughter to the HOH.  Earlier this year, I took her to see Carrie Underwood. Let’s just say that, after we took her to see Trixter, Danger Danger, LA Guns and Dokken, now we’re taking her to see Bon Jovi and she wants to see Ozzy! Now she has Ozzy, Kiss, Journey, Bon Jovi, to name a few, on her iPod.</p>
<p>Another one of Bud’s faves is New York City, so meeting Dee and seeing him perform ON BROADWAY in Rock of Ages in his favorite city…well, that would make 2010 the best metal year yet!  Everything about this contest seems to have been created just for Bud!  All of his favorite things are wrapped up in this neat, not-so-little package!  Please help me make Bud’s dream come true! He is Dee’s MOST DESERVING fan!</em></strong></p>
<p>The following winners didn’t win the trip to the Big Apple, but they can pretend like they did by firing up the original Broadway cast soundtrack of Rock Of Ages! Congrats, all!</p>

<p>Sometimes the most interesting projects arise from the most unusual circumstances.  So it is that DOWN ‘n’ OUTZ, a project fronted by Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and backed by The Quireboys have recorded 13 modern cover versions of rare yet monumental tracks by 70&#8217;s rock pioneers Mott, Ian Hunter and British Lions.</p>
<p>“Mott the Hoople has always been my favorite band and it’s nice to see the rest of the rock world finally catch up and give them their due” says Elliott.  Joe Elliott’s DOWN ‘n’ OUTZ supported the legendary British icons, Mott The Hoople, at one of their critically acclaimed 2009 reformation shows at the Hammersmith Odeon.  Following a rapturous reception, the one night project took on a life and energy of its own and a demo was born.  Joe Elliott’s DOWN ‘n’ OUTZ then set out to record a full length LP of classic material entitled My ReGeneration.</p>
<p>Joe Elliott takes up the story, “When Mott The Hoople announced they were reforming for a week worth of shows at the Hammersmith Odeon I was asked that I participate in some capacity. They’ve always been my favorite band and it’s nice to see the rest of the rock world finally catch up and give them their due.”</p>
<p>“But, what was I to do? It was suggested to me that the Quireboys would be up for offering their services. This was perfect! A fan since their first album, I loved the idea of working with a band as enthusiastic to do this as I was.”</p>
<p>“I decided that the thing to do was play some songs that like minded people thought they would never hear live again, if ever, songs by spin offs of Mott the Hoople – songs by Mott, Ian Hunter and British Lions. Songs that are close to my heart, songs that I’ve played every week for the best part of 35 years on record, cassette, CD, Ipod and now live.”</p>
<p>The album was produced by Joe Elliott with co-production by Ronan McHugh and recorded in Elliott’s own studio “Joe’s Garage” and Moor Hall Studio in Bedfordshire.  In addition to Joe Elliott (Vocals/Guitar/Keyboards) the band featured The Quireboys’ Paul Guerin (Guitar), Guy Griffin (Guitar), Keith Weir</p>
<p>(keyboards), Phil Martin (drums) and bassist Ronnie Garrity (Raw Glory).</p>

<p>LOS ANGELES – Pantera found its growl and groove on COWBOYS FROM HELL, a landmark album whose bone-powdering intensity, razor-sharp riffing and pummeling rhythmic assault represented a turning point in modern metal when it was released in 1990. More than just Pantera’s major label debut, many consider this album to be the official debut of the Pantera lineup with singer Philip Anselmo, guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul and bassist Rex Brown.</p>
<p>To celebrate the 20-year anniversary of COWBOYS FROM HELL, Rhino rounds up a three-disc Ultimate Edition, a three-disc Deluxe Edition, and a two-disc Expanded Edition. All three editions include a newly remastered version of the original album along with unreleased and rare live performances from the “Cowboys From Hell” Tour.</p>
<p>“’The Will To Survive’ is a great track. With so many killer songs, it was hard to pick and choose the ones that should make our major label debut,” says Paul. “After hearing it for the first time in about 20 years, its a pretty stellar performance and I am definitely proud that it will see the light of day for all the die hard Pantera fans around the world! It shows the true musical diversity of the band at that time!”</p>
<p>Along with the remastered version of COWBOYS FROM HELL, all three sets include a disc of live music recorded during the tour for the album. It begins with seven unreleased performances from Pantera’s September 15, 1990 appearance at the Foundations Forum metal convention in California, a show recorded for radio broadcast but never released commercially. The remainder of the disc contains the five-song EP Alive And Hostile, a collection of performances recorded in 1991 at the Monsters of Rock festival in Moscow that was previously available only in Australia as part of a 1994 boxed set.</p>
<p>After being turned down “twenty-eight times by every major label on the face of the earth,” ATCO Records A&amp;R rep Mark Ross saw the band when Hurricane Hugo stranded him in Texas. The rest, as they say, is history, including another seven years and over a million miles of touring for COWBOYS to be certified Platinum (one million album sales) by the RIAA.</p>
<p>The album’s liner notes include essays by each of the band’s surviving members, producer Terry Date, and the aforementioned Ross. Recalling the first time he saw Pantera, Ross writes, “By the end of the first song, my jaw was on the floor. The sonic power of it all—the attitude and the musicianship—blew me away. Basically, you had to be an idiot to not think they’re amazing. I mean, how could you see these guys and not think, Holy shit!?”</p>
