94XPOSED TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH

2008, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson was one of the pilots who flew specially chartered flights after 85,000 tourists were stranded in the US, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe after Britain's third-largest tour operator went into administration. The singer, who had worked for the airline Astraeus for nine years, took up flying after he quit the band in 1993.

SLASH FEAT. MYLES KENEDDY - BACK FROM CALI

Legendary guitarist Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) tells BostonHerald.com that his current working relationship with the frontman of his solo project, Myles Kennedy, has "reconstituted [his] faith in lead singers." He adds, "Making my solo album, I worked with 18 singers who were all fantastic, so I'm not as bitter about the concept of lead singers as I once was." According to Slash, drummer Matt Sorum originally wanted Kennedy to be VELVET REVOLVER's frontman before Scott Weiland came into the picture. Regarding how Kennedy is doing as the the singer for Slash's touring band, the guitarist says, "Myles is (expletive) amazing. It's very surreal how he handles the stuff he sings. I'm doing GN'R songs I've never done solo before, and Myles manages to own them without changing the style or trajectory of the song. Which is a fantastic (expletive) ability."

On September 28, Slipknot will release the concert DVD (sic)nesses, which documents a 2009 performance at England's Download Festival for 80,000 diehards. But fans who can't hold out for two weeks can check out the movie in theaters in major cities across the country (and in London!) on September 22. (Sic)nesses captures one of the final performances of founding member Paul Gray, who was found dead from an accidental overdose in an Iowa hotel room on May 25. The band has not performed live since his untimely passing so this movie offers a rare chance to relive the band's awesomely chaotic live shows. Unfortunately this film will not be shown in theatres in Canada but it will get a DVD release early next year! A must have for any fan of the band that brought 90's metal to the mainstream.

SLIPKNOT - SNUFF
PANTERA - COWBOYS FROM HELL

I've spoken at such great length over the past few weeks regarding the 20th Anniversary of PANTERA's landmark 1990 album COWBOYS FROM HELL, that you'd think there'd be nothing left to say. Not the case, as we take a look at the 3-Disc Deluxe Edition of the album, in-stores today via Rhino Records. Comprised of the original album, a live disc, and a full disc's worth of demos, CFH Deluxe is a time capsule in album form, best owned in a physical format as opposed to digital. Packed into a thick, old-school double-wide jewel case, CFH Deluxe immediately transports you back to the early '90's, a time when the musical landscape was about to shift from Glam to Grunge, while leaving an opening just right for bands like PANTERA to slide through. The 20th Anniversary collectors edition is in stores now!
