People of Los Angeles, consider yourselves warned.                        Billy's character, ODIN
The folks behind the soundtrack to the upcoming animated feature "Heavy Metal 2000" are declaring  Tuesday, April 18 "Heavy Metal Day in L.A."
To mark the occasion, B-movie queen Julie Strain (the living inspiration for the heroine of "Heavy Metal 2000" and star of such classics as "Lingerie Kickboxer," "Bikini Hotel," and "Guns Of El Chupacabra") will hit the Golden Apple Comics Megastore on Melrose Avenue to sign copies of the soundtrack and "Heavy Metal 2000" tie-in comic.
"Heavy Metal 2000" creative artist and writer Kevin Eastman will also be on hand, and organizers say that some of the artists from the film's soundtrack are likely to come out as well.

In addition to the high-profile push the soundtrack will get through Tuesday's event, Monster Magnet is also shooting a video for its contribution to the album, "Silver Future."
While the film doesn't arrive until July, the album hits the stores this week.
Here's what you'll find on it:
Monster Magnet - "Silver Future"

ALBUM DELAY :

As most of you know, Billy's new album was seriously delayed last year, due to the split Billy had with Capitol.
Most of the new material he wrote, (some with Steve Stevens) he will now not be able to use.  This also meant that his plans to tour were shelved.
Billy was as disappointed & frustrated by this as we the fans were.
He is however, busy working on new ideas again, some of which involve Steve.
We all hope that Billy will be able to share them with us soon.
When I met with Billy at his home in April, he told me how he felt about his Capitol split. Details of this interview will be on line soon & the full 20 page transcript is available to all subscribed members. In it Billy also tells of his plans for this year. If you would like details of Membership, please email direct.

You can now ask us questions live (if we are online)=======>>>>>>>

A recent auction on vh1, had this rare treasure...
Not just a pair of Billy Idol's pants, but a piece of rock n' roll news. Here's the story: some time in the early 90's Billy and his manager were in London getting into a cab, they then became aware of a man trying to take the same cab from them. The man apparently became somewhat angry and abusive, so Billy decided to get out of the cab and let the man have it. During the confrontation, the man began to hit (so he thought) Billy in the leg. After the police arrived and things cooled down a bit, Billy noticed that his leg felt warm. Turns out that the man had a hidden blade in the hand that was striking Billy's leg! The pants come complete with a knife hole through the pants and blood stains on the inside....
The winning bid was $707.00
