Powell's POV: The new Fozzy tune seems much more melodic than the past songs I've heard from the band. If you're a hard rock fan then it's definitely worth a look. The big guns on the tour are Metallica, Linkin Park, A Perfect Circle, and Slayer. The tour only has five stops and there's plenty of time before and after the festival for Jericho to do something WWE related. It must be a huge thrill for Jericho and his bandmates to go from playing the small venues with lousy attendance that he wrote about in his last book to playing major festivals with legends like Metallica.
