Posted by Logan Legacy on 7/31/2002, 2:11 am Fozzy will also be playing several shows kicking off the CD: Produced by Shawn Grove(Matchbox 20, Collective Soul), Happenstance features eleven songs with five new original songs. Recorded over three months in Atlanta, it is a continuation of the story and their return to the USA, and it also represents a major step forward in their musical life. The band will tour throughout the summer and fall months, and there will also be an extensive radio and press campaign. WHO IS FOZZY? Chris Jericho™ is a top wrestling star in the WWE®, where he reaches upwards of several million people every week. His charisma and persona have made him a main feature every week on various shows such as RAW and SMACKDOWN, and he can also be seen on WWF-affliated MTV shows such as Tough Enough and Sunday Night Heat. Rich Ward is a well-known and highly respected guitarist who fronted the band, Stuck Mojo, for several years, reaching worldwide sales of 500,000 units. Fozzy features Chris Jericho™ as the irrepressible rock god, Moongoose McQueen; guitarist Rich Ward(formerly of Stuck Mojo) as the contract reader and legal advisor, Duke Larue; the cheese-loving drummer, KK LaFlame, who's capable of naming over 100 cheeses; The Kid as the guitarist who doesn't speak, has no friends(except his parents) and has no social skills whatsoever; bassist Claude "Watty" Watson, also known as the guy with the worst haircut known to man, who incidentally beat out Paul McCartney and Susanna Hoffs (formerly of The Bangles) for this gig; and British guitar hero and the man with his own suit-of-armor, Lord Bayden Powell.
On July 30th, Fozzy unleashed their new cd, Happenstance, on Megaforce Records. The first 20,000 cd's include a signed collectible guitar pick. Each member of the band has his own pick in a different color with a total of 7 guitar picks available. Also included on the cd is a special enhanced section featuring a video, photo gallery, bios, etc. Hear lead singer Moongoose (aka Wrestling Superstar Chris Jericho) rant and rave in poetic verse as he performs his magic in front of a New York City crowd.

Fozzy is the brainchild of World Wrestling Entertainment® Superstar Chris Jericho™ and ex-Stuck Mojo's Rich Ward. Inspired by their love of heavy music, storytelling and over-the-top live performance, the Fozzy story was created to provide the music business with something that they felt was missing in today's music world, namely, "entertainment!"
