Some guy wrote in to our website email account the other day promoting his book about the paranormal and I almost lost it. No, actually I did lose it. Check out my response to him and more in the new Mail Bag. I also help an out-of-work guitarist find a job.

Another person was quite worried that perhaps Roadrunner founder Cees Wessels was no more, but Amy set that guy straight in Ask Amy. Of course there are the usual raft of proposals (sexual, romantic, and both), dumb questions, and smart questions as well.

New Slipknot artwork and a bunch of other band photos and images have been uploaded to the Fan Art section.

Been sitting on the edge of your computer chair waiting anxiously for a morsel from the upcoming Dream Theater DVD Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 due to hit shelves September 23rd? Well today is your lucky day, my friends. Click the the pic of the exclusive footage below of John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess rocking the hell out for a teaser clip of the new DVD...

Few bands inspire such fanaticism among their fans as Dream Theater. The best way to satiate this dedicated legion is to provide them with even more material to devour and Dream Theater are doing just that this September. The band will release Chaos In Motion 2007/2008, which documents their "Chaos In Motion" world tour, which kicked off June 3, 2007 at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Milan, Italy and concluded almost a year to the day later on June 4, 2008 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It's essentially a travelogue of their most recent touring experience and it hits shelves on September 23. Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 will be available in two configurations: as a double DVD set and as five disc collector's set which includes two DVDs and three CDs, containing 14 live tracks featured in the DVD set and expanded artwork.

The Chaos in Motion Tour was a trek that found the band traversing the globe, playing 115 shows in 105 cities in 35 countries on five continents to hundreds of thousands of fans. It also included the first annual Progressive Nation Tour, an idea that the band had kicked around for a few years and finally launched into action this past spring.

Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 is the latest in a series of DVDs from the band and it features performances captured throughout the entirety of the tour, unlike their last three RIAA-certified Platinum DVDs, Metropolis 2000: Live Scenes From New York, Live at Budokan and Score, all of which focused on as single concert event.

Drummer and DVD creative director Mike Portnoy plumed his personal archives for footage in order to provide fans with the ultimate tour souvenir. He assembled over three hours of complete live performances, taking footage from shows in Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Boston, Bangkok and Vancouver. The tracks were mixed and effectively brought to life by Kevin Shirley. The second disc is packed with bonus material, including promo videos, live screen projection films, a photo gallery and a 90-minute documentary that'll make you feel like you're riding in the passenger's seat of the band's tour bus, as it takes you on the road and behind the scenes with the band and crew. It's like a virtual backstage pass that grants fans further unprecedented access.
