Megadeth frontman offers limited number of autographed touring coffee bags
Dave Mustaine previously stated: "I have personally selected this coffee from thousands available worldwide. It is by far the best-tasting coffee I have ever come across. This is the coffee that gets me up in the morning and keeps me shreddin’ all day long."
He adds, "You may already know this, but there are a lot of people that are consuming my coffee because it is great-tasting coffee, and they have no clue who I am. Hey, I dig! And what better way to get acquainted than a hot cuppa Joe and some stories about rock ‘n roll to get us started?
"If you are an aspiring musician, this delicious, piping hot coffee is not guaranteed to make you a shredder. But it does help!"

Twisted Sister frontman offers his view on death of Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow

Twisted Sister frontman offers his view on death of Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow
"Kevin DuBrow is dead. This hits pretty damn hard.
QUIET RIOT and TWISTED SISTER had a lot of respect for each other. The basis for this came from the fact that both QUIET RIOT and TWISTED SISTER formed in 1973 — long before the rebirth of heavy metal or ‘hair metal,’ as it came to be known, in the ’80s. When QUIET RIOT (on the West Coast) and TWISTED SISTER (on the East Coast) were formed, it was an outgrowth of the glam rock movement of the early ’70s and both our bands fought the good fight against the onslaught that was disco (ugh!). When most other bands gave up or switched allegiances to what was more commercially viable at the time, both of our bands refused to bend — or break, for that matter — and carried the torch for heavy rock through the dark days of the mid-to-late ’70s. As a result, QUIET RIOT were not only at the forefront to the L.A. metal scene, they were the inspiration for many other bands who went on to find fame and fortune.
"If you were to look back at old issues of L.A. music papers, you’d see every band who ever became anything out of L.A. opening for QUIET RIOT. And it was Kevin DuBrow and QUIET RIOT’s perseverance and refusal to take no for an answer that literally destroyed the barriers of the record industry, television and commercial radio and opened the door for all metal bands to follow into the promised land. And we all know the glory days of metal that followed.
"Thank you, Kevin.
"And because TWISTED SISTER was doing, and had done, the same thing for the music scene on the East Coast, our two bands have always shared a mutual respect for one another. We know that none of the other bands (with the possible exception of Y&T, who were doing pretty much the same thing in Northern California) had been through the shit that we’d been through. We had earned our battle scars and our right to stand on those coliseum stages…while we felt many others had not.
"It’s because of this connection that the passing of Kevin DuBrow hits us particularly hard. You’ve all heard the saying, ‘There by the grace of God go I.’ Well, it’s never been truer than now.
"The metal community has lost a powerful voice and a great frontman, but let it never be said that Kevin DuBrow did not leave his mark. You kicked our asses, Kevin, you really did."

Quiet Riot drummer updates his feeling about the death of Kevin DuBrow
QUIET RIOT drummer Frankie Banali has posted the following message on his official web site:
"I want to thank everyone for the hundreds of condolences that I’ve received in honor of Kevin which continues to pour in. With Kevin’s passing a very large part of my life and my history has come to end and I can’t imagine life without his presence.
"I’ve not slept. There is such a void in every part of my life now. I can’t find any words to say that make any sense of it. I can’t fix this, I can’t change this and I’m expected accept the unbearable. I can’t utter a sentence or think of my dear friend or even say his name without a flood of tears.
"I can’t stand that I won’t hear his voice on the phone.
I can’t stand that I won’t step on a stage with him again.
I can’t stand that I won’t share another day with him.
I can’t stand that I won’t sit across from him laughing.
I can’t stand to go past the room and see the awards we earned and shared.
I can’t stand that life is forever changed.
I can’t stand that I can’t change this.
I can’t stand that I have to accept this.
"This is a picture that Kevin sent to me on May 24, 2007. It was taken in 1993 after we had reconciled and started working together again and when he sent it to me he called to say that this is how he will always like to remember us as friends. A relationship in life that continued until now. I want to remember my dear Kevin in life like this rather than in his passing."
