I have some plans this weekend but am hoping I will be home to catch this. Will be very cool to see this band on tv. The more exposure the better. Need more great power metal on MTV.

Cool.

Speaking of the new Demons and Wizards, does anyone know if the lyrics give away the end of the Dark Tower Series? I'm only half way through book 6 . . .

Yes, the lyrics detail Roland's death at the hands of Grimace. Who knew that an ambulatory purple blob from MacDonalds could get so pissed off? Kind of anticlimactic if you ask me.

I know who Demons and Wizards are but am not familiar with the music. Are the lyrics based on a writing ? And what is the Dark Tower Series?

Nope...Terror Train is all about (as I'm sure you could guess) Blaine the Mono. The lyrics in the other 3 DT related songs (Crimson King, Seize the Day, and The Gunslinger) don't give anything away about the ending. Theres maybe like one or two lines in the Gunslinger that *relate* to the end of the book, but they're so vague, they won't even have any real meaning to you unless you read the book .

edit: I actually just finished book 7 a few days ago. The ending is great IMO, you will not be dissapointed.

4 songs from the new Demons & Wizard album are based on a series of novels written by Stephen King called "The Dark Tower." It's his magnum opus, the first novel was among the first he ever wrote back in the early 70s, and the final one (7th in the series) was just finished two years ago. They are such an integral part of his writing career that many of his other novels also tie into the Dark Tower series in one way or another (especially Insomnia, Salem's Lot, and Hearts in Atlantis).

Hansi's main band, Blind Guardian, also had a song about The Dark Tower called "Somewhere Far Beyond."

Well at least we are guaranteed one good video on HBB this weekend!!!!

That show needs some revamping, if I have to see the Lamb of God "back hair" clip one more time I'll scream!

The Dark Tower series is one of the Stephen King things I haven't read. Maybe someday, when I have lots and lots of time.

whats the chronological order for the series? I've only read the talisman and black house?
