FOZZY Frontman: 'We're Not METALLICA, Nor Do We Claim To Be'

April 15, 2008

FOZZY frontman and WWE wresting champion Chris Jericho recently spoke to WWE.com about the re-release of FOZZY's critically acclaimed album "All That Remains". First issued in October 2005, it's the heavy-metal band's third and most successful album to date.

"It's a collector's item. People who get the CD will get a nice souvenir," explained Jericho. "The coolest thing is that the album has been out for three years, and it's still selling. The re-release gives people who haven't heard it another chance."

"All That Remains Reloaded" contains a DVD chronicling the band's live performance in front of 20,000 screaming fans during one of their United Kingdom tours. According to Chris, the DVD is testament to the band's recent success.

"We're not METALLICA, nor do we claim to be. But on five tours we sold 90 percent of our shows in England. You can't complain about that," Jericho explained. "When we were touring, people were coming to see FOZZY, not Chris Jericho. To grow FOZZY as a brand name the same way I grew Chris Jericho as a brand name means a great deal to me on a personal level. It's always hard to get lightning to strike twice."
