Yes, this is Chris Jericho from WWE Entertainment that you can watch every Monday and Thursday nights. I remember when the first Fozzy album came out it was like this big secret that the lead singer of Fozzy 'Mongoose McQueen' was someone totally different and all I could do was keep thinking, god damn they look a lot alike.

This time around its no secret anymore, as Fozzy performed 'Kill A Stranger' on a Monday night show. Being claimed as a cover band that was evident on their first record, but this time around they switched it up a bit and I have to say their original songs are pretty fucking tight. The squeal of the guitars the pulse from the drums and the perfect tone of voice for each song make their originals the better songs on here. They still manage to mix it up throw in some 'Freewheel Burning' (Judas Priest), 'The Mob Rules' (Black Sabbath), 'Big City Nights' (Scorpions), 'L.O.V.E. Machine' (W.A.S.P), 'Balls to the Wall' (Accept), and 'Where Eagles Dare' (Iron Maiden). Very awesome, I love turning this on and playing along with some air guitar during the solos and enjoying the rock n roll.

Overall outlook: Impressive, I have to say I'm grooving to the original songs more than the covers, maybe we'll get a whole Fozzy album with all originals next time around. 'Kill a Stranger' and 'Happenstance' are the best.
