Tenacious D aren’t the only fans of Ronnie James Dio, apparently.
The metal frontman, who replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath and was the subject of a Tenacious D song, reteamed with guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler to form Heaven and Hell in 2006.
The metal group’s album, “The Devil You Know,” debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 this week. The group also plans to tour this summer, with an Aug. 8 stop at the WaMu Theater in Seattle. Info on that show is below.
And speaking of hard rock, KISS is plotting a fan-routed tour. The group is asking fans to vote for where they should play. Comcast Arena is urging fans to vote for their local venue by putting in an Everett ZIP code.
For some reason, I’m having trouble putting in 98201; 98203 is going in just fine, though. Go to this site to put in your own ZIP code.
