The new cd True Self hits stores May 2nd. Grab a copy of it while you are picking up Rebel Meets Rebel and Dimevision !!

Last month I mentioned going down to Florida for a few days for something I could talk about later. Well.....The June issue of Guitar World magazine contains my first "feature spread photo shoot" for them. I have had several photos published in the magazine before, but this is my first spread and assignment from them. The story and photos feature the legendary David Allan Coe and Vinie Paul. We did the shoot in Daytona Beach during Bike week. The story discusses the upcoming cd release of Rebel Meets Rebel, the country/metal project that our late friend, hero, and brother Dimebag, Vinnie and David did together prior to DIme being taken from us in 2004. The cd and new DVD "DIMEVISION" will both be released on May 2nd. Be sure and pick up both of them and celebrate the life , music and memories of Dime.
I would like to personally thank Vinnie for getting me involved with this project, I was honored to have been able to do this for them. There will be more magazines in the coming months featuring photos from the session we did down there, I will keep you posted as they come out !
Enjoy

Also, there is an ESP guitars ad in this issue featuring one of my photos of Michael Ammott of Arch Enemy.
