Ostronomy here. I would like to thank Jarmo and ALL of you for your continued support of Talking Metal and our GN'R related podcasts.
Today's the big day, and I cannot be happier! I downloaded the album from iTunes at midnight, and I'm on my way to Best Buy to pick up the CD and the Vinyl.
Check out our final "Countdown to Chinese Democracy" podcast we posted Friday which includes a great interview with Bumblefoot as well as a new Talking Metal/Dr. Pepper contest (you can win a 12-pack! - available in the US only - sorry!) and an unreleased track we recorded with Zakk Wylde and Bumblefoot. Following are our show notes and press release:
