BETWEEN THE FRETS |:| 02/23/12
Today is indeed a slow day for music news. Dave Mustaine opposes gay marriage? Sounds about right (his explanatory quote: “I’m a Christian.”) Devin Townsend producing three new albums? No surprise there; the man never stops. Metallica’s “Black Album” mixed with Jay-Z’s “Black”? (REAL clever, guys); only a matter of time.

IT’S OFFICIAL: EX-DEO DROPS OFF THE BILL FOR PAGANFEST
So long, Maurizio Iacono and friends. The Canadian rockers won’t be joining this year’s North American tour of Paganfest, but fear not: the lineup still includes Alestorm, Arkona, and Huntress with Finnish folk metallers Turisas headlining (don your battle gear).

If you’ve checked out FRET12’s Weekly Riff videos (and if you haven’t, you should!), you’ve probably seen Mr. Tim Tournier shredding away on some licks...
