Black Label Society
It's a good thing Zakk likes to work, because he may well be one of the hardest-working men in music right now. On top of helping Ozzy Osbourne write songs for his next record, he's just putting the finishing touches on Shot To Hell, his first Black Label Society album for Roadrunner Records. Produced by Zakk and Michael Beinhorn (Ozzy, Korn, Soundgarden), and recorded with longtime pals Craig Nunenmacher (drums) and John "J.D." DeServio (bass), Shot To Hell takes the ferocious hard rock of such BLS albums as 2003's Blessed Hellride and 2005's Mafia to a whole new level of "brewtality."More about San Diego Sports Arena
San Diego Sports Arena
The roar of 11,682 professional hockey fans gave birth to the San Diego Sports Arena (formerly, the San Diego International Sports Center) on November 17, 1966, as the San Diego Gulls-then of the Western Hockey League-won their home opener in a 4-to-1 victory against the Seattle Totems. Since its opening, the facility has indeed hosted many amateur and professional athletes and teams, including but not limited to: the San Diego Rockets, San Diego Clippers, 10-time Major Indoor Soccer League Champion San Diego Sockers, and the 5-time Taylor Cup Champion San Diego Gulls. The San Diego Sports Arena has also played host to some of the most memorable moments in sports history, including the infamous 1973 Muhammad Ali versus Ken Norton bout, in which local boxer Norton defeated Ali by split decision to become world champion of boxing. Irish miler Aemonn Coghlin, much to the amazement of the sports world, shattered the world record for the indoor mile at the Center in 1979 and again in 1981. The historic photo of Coghlin crossing the finish line appeared throughout the world on the cover of Sports Illustrated and other publications. Coghlin's world indoor record time set in 1981 remains unbeaten today. Thanks to the vision and commitment of a man named Robert Breitbard, a football hero at Hoover High and San Diego State University, the Arena was built for a modest $6.4 million with the purpose of bringing professional sports to the San Diego region. For more than three decades, the San Diego Sports Arena has entertained millions of music enthusiasts by bringing the biggest and brightest artists to Southern California audiences. For every artist and every performance, fascinating behind-the-scenes stories exist for those willing to dig deep enough into the history of the facility. Some stories have been told and some remain the property of those who were there to witness them firsthand. Like the time when Elvis Presley performed at the Center in 1970 and met a security guard working backstage who, as it turns out, hailed from Elvis's hometown. They shared a few laughs and Elvis went on to perform to a full house and leave town. The next day, much to the amazement of the security guard and the entire Center staff, a brand new Cadillac was delivered to the security guard-the King's newfound, hometown friend-compliments of the King himself, Elvis Presley! When the Center celebrated its 35th birthday in 2002, the changes and improvements continued, including completion of the new color theme for each entrance concession stand, new condiment service areas, renovation of the Grille and successful installation of the World-Famous San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal Park interactive display. The work will continue until the San Diego Sports Arena management feels there is no room for improvement in everything that we do for our guests. Although one of the oldest facilities of its kind in San Diego, the arena has definitely earned its title as "San Diego's Place for Entertainment!" Phone: (619) 224-4171Post a Countdown Widget
