Like old Hollywood fashion? Head out to Eastside Lounge this SATURDAY!
Do you like pretty ladies, hot fashion, and good drinks? Then you simply MUST come out to the Eastside Lounge this Saturday, 7/10! My fabulous lady friend Kristen of Bella Moda Productions is putting on this show for Rene Rene designs and Miss Jay Jay hats. It is definitely going to be a beautiful night at one of East Atlanta's hottest bars (the same one where we hosted our first dance party last month!)

Slipknot Bassist Paul Gray Found Dead This Morning
According to Des Moines Register , Slipknot bassist Paul Gray (aka #2 and The Clown) was found dead this morning in a hotel room. No foul play was suspected and it seems as though he passed as result of a drug overdose.
This is the third metal musician to die just in the past almost 2 months. There have been reports that Gray had been struggling for years with drugs and alcohol. The rock'n'roll lifestyle is hard, people. Party it up, but let's be responsible!
I know, I know. A lot of people think that Slipknot are a cheesy, over the top glorified nu-metal band (yes, I have heard those exact words used by others.) However, many agree that Slipknot brought heavy, fast-driven modern metal to the masses. They catch attention with their theatrical stage shows and pretty ridiculous costumes. Maybe it IS a bit ridiculous, but it's effective! Can we say, Kiss? I've spent my fair share of money on Slipknot CDs, shows, and memorabillia in my day, and I am pleased with my investments. I remember meeting Paul when I was 18, following a show. He, Mick, and Jim were VERY friendly, funny, and I enjoyed hanging out with them (much more than some OTHER members of the band, which will remain nameless.)
Check out this video of a life performance by Slipknot, doing their song Eyeless off of their self-titled album. REST IN PEACE, PAUL GRAY!

Adios Ronnie James Dio :(
Heavy metal vocal legend, Ronnie James Dio, passed away at 7:45 this morning, reported his partner Wendy Dio via www.ronniejamesdio.com . He reportedly had been battling stomach cancer and succumbed to the disease. According to Wendy Dio, many friends and family members were able to say their goodbyes.
Though Dio's career began in 1957, he is best known for replacing Ozzy Osbourne as the lead singer in Black Sabbath, and fronting his own band, simply named Dio. He is also credited with coming up with the infamous metal horns \m/ So sad to have lost another metal megaman. Have a look at these two videos and get your head-bang on.
Here is a live video from 1983. Dio performing one of their most infamous songs, "Rainbow in the Dark"
Yeah, yeah. I may catch some flack for posting a cover video on the day the man himself passed away, but to me this is an AMAZING video. Here is the band Killswitch Engage doing a medieval themed video to their rendition of HOLY DIVER!
Rest in Peace, Ronnie James Dio, from all of the ATL metalheads.
