New Noize 13 – Ep437

We’re back this week to deliver all the news that’s fit to spit with New Noize 13! So far, 2021 has been an active year for rock and metal news. In this episode we talk about some of the notable stories that have taken place recently.

Def Leppard recently launched an online museum for their fans. This site contains images of passes, stage worn gear, photographs, and tons more from their entire career. Best of all, it’s actually free. We take a look at the Def Leppard Vault and share our thoughts on it and how it is a great template that other bands should be using for fan interaction.

Some exciting reissues are on the horizon from the Ronnie James Dio era of Black Sabbath. Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are getting the deluxe treatment and contain some cool bonus tracks. We talk about this cool reissue.

Gene Simmons recently partnered with Gibson Guitars for a set of new guitars and basses as well as upcoming digital content. We break it all down in this episode.

Legendary label owner Marsha Zazula passed recently. The co-founder of Megaforce Records was an integral part of opening the door to loads of great acts from the 80’s. James Hetfield recently released a statement in tribute to Marsha and we discuss that.

Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine recently revealed the working title for the next studio album. What is it? What do we think of it? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Don Dokken recently had some criticism of the new project from former band mates Jeff Pilson and George Lynch. In this episode we talk about those comments and read Jeff’s response to them.

Other notable news stories we touch on include Scott Rockenfield, Suspect208, Goran Edmond on Yngwie’s treatment of the band, and how Elton John might be trying to ruin rock music (it’ll make sense when you listen).
