But an evil Japanese record mogul tricked them into signing a restrictive contract with him, leaving them stranded in Japan in poverty. They could only sit and watch how all their great songs were being sold to or stolen by other bands, making <i>them</i> famous, instead of <b>Fozzy</b>. But now, 20 years later, they are back!

And it is also my first meeting with this hilarious band. When I first read about them I was afraid that they would sound too modern for my taste, being that most of the members reside in the nu-metal band, <b>Stuck Mojo</b>, as their main musical outlet. My fears were soon shattered though, as this is metal as classic sounding as all the cover songs here suggest. I'm also pleased to say that the original material here, is also very good. &quot;With The Fire&quot; is a track that immediately stuck to my brain. After listening to the whole album a couple of times, I really started to love it. The only track I'm not so fond of is the last one. Very few bands can do acceptable <a href="iron_maiden.htm">Iron Maiden</a> covers, in my opinion. In order to check out a band totally stuck in the 80's, give <b>Fozzy</b> a chance!</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Bookman Old Style" color="#00FFFF">Killer tracks: I actually prefer the original material on this album</font></p> <p align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> <font color="#0066FF">Chris Jericho</font><font color="#0066FF" face="Times New Roman"> guest appearances:</font></p> <p align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> <a href="liberty_n_justice.htm#light">Liberty N' Justice</a> - 'Light It Up'</p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="index.htm"> <img border="0" src="Letters/home.jpg" width="115" height="50"></a></p> </body> </html>
