RJD - You were the man, the
legend
Ronnie.. I know you have
been really sick for a while now so I know this is one of the
horrible outcomes when you deal with a horrible diseaselike
cancer (trust me I know, seeing first hand my mom getting chemo
pushed into her body).
Still.. hearing about this hit me right in the heart. I
seriously didn't know I would feel
this strongly about your passing. The influence and strength you
gave me through your music over the years is more apparent then
I realized and far beyond (me trying to put itinto) words right now. I know in time I will have
nothing but great memories of your amazing music and the person
you were but right now this is a very difficult to hear
about (and the million of metal family
members you have around the world.)
You were the man, the legend!! We will all miss you but you will
not be forgotten. Have a safe journey! \m/

Lizzy Borden schedules
first shows for 2010!
Lizzy Borden has been on the road steadily since the release of Appointment With Death - both in the US with Lordi and in Europe playing various festivals. Three shows for 2010 have been announced so far and plans for even more are in the works and will be announced when details are finalized.
Lizzy Borden himself issues the following update: “We thought we’d start 2010 out with a bang and come out of the gate with some live shows.
These first of the New Year shows will be a best of, incorporating songs from the entire Lizzy Borden catalog including the latest record Appointment With Death. These will be the first headlining shows on the west coast that we’ve done in a long while so we are all hyped and excited and can’t wait. We hope to see everyone come out for these very rare and long awaited Lizzy Borden headline shows.
Three videos from Appointment With Death( Under Your Skin, Tomorrow Never Comes & Abnormal)
are up on the web now. Check them out at the
Lizzy Borden
Youtube Channel.
“Shock-rocker Lizzy Borden knows how to entertain the audience: with hits like 'Tomorrow Never Comes', 'There Will Be Blood Tonight', 'Me Against The World' and 'We Got The Power' staged a spectacular show”
-Metal Hammer Magazine
“Lizzy Borden was the highlight of the entire Sweden Rock festival” 9
of 10
- Sweden Rock Magazine “Lizzy’s ninth album is “unbelievably
infectious” and affirms that some things do age well.”
-Decibel Magazine “As far as pleasant surprises go, Appointment With Death takes the cake.”

Disguise (1989)
Best Of (1994) Deal with the Devil (2000) and Appointment with

Lizzy Borden is confirmed for this years Rocklahoma festival
“We are all extremely excited to bring the
Lizzy Borden show to ROCKLAHOMA this year. After playing “bang your head” in Germany and the “Sweden rocks”
festival last year to amazing reviews, as well as Co/headlining the
“Keep it true” festival this year, it will be an honor to finally
bring the blood to an American festival. I have a few surprises up my
sleeves and we plan on playing some songs we have never played on
stage before. We have heard so much about
this festival
from some of our friends the last couple of years and we can’t wait to
bring our brand of American metal to the ROCKLAHOMA Stage.”
Lizzy Borden
In a career spanning 26 years, Lizzy Borden was created in
1983 in Hollywood California. Spitting venom, stage blood and dripping
grease paint while breathing life into bizarre characters bred
precisely for the stage. Theme oriented creations such as, Love you
to pieces (1985) Menace to society (1986) Visual Lies
(1987) Master of Disguise (1989) Best Of (1994) Deal
with the Devil (2000) and Appointment with death (2008)
forever cemented icon status to the master showman from the dawn of
heavy metal.
With the release of Lizzy Borden’s
latest disk “Appointment with death” Lizzy and the boys tore
through 2008 for that badge of honor all the while stealing the show
at some of Europe’s greatest summer festivals. The new Appointment
with death show received nothing less then rave reviews from Major
European press like “The best show of the entire festival”, “A 9
out of 10”, “Lizzy Borden was the hit of the festival”
The end of summer ‘08 brought the show
back home rampaging right through North America, destroying every
House of blues in its path all the way through the states.
Showing no signs of letting up Lizzy
Borden finished ‘08 performing in 9 countries on a winter tour of
Europe. While the show stormed its way through Europe, the first video
from “AWD” “Tomorrow never comes”, was nominated for
video of the year on MTV's “Headbangers Ball”, a great way to
finish the year.
2009 opened with
the creation of a new Lizzy Borden video "Under Your Skin". “Skin” premiered on MTV2 Saturday March 29th ‘09 with a
controversial topic (about teenage girls cutting themselves); the
heavy duty subject was just the thing to start the year off on an
artistic note.
Most bands that
have been around as long as Lizzy Borden, the days of a new video
on MTV are long gone, however Lizzy Borden have 2 videos from the
latest CD, "Tomorrow Never Comes" and “Under Your Skin”
in rotation on MTV’s Headbangers ball, Music Choice as
well as radio stations around the country.
April ‘09 brought Lizzy back to Germany to headline the first night of the “Keep it True” festival. The show was second to none showcasing a 26 year career
catalog of songs as well as the twin guitar assault of Dario Lorina
and Chris Sanders, the 8 string bass menace Marten Andersson and the frantic Mohawk drummer Joey Scott. The show centers
on Lizzy in his multitude of masks and props screaming bloody
murder as he’s pushed and pulled by (the Lizzy Girls Julia and steph)
the angel and devil on his shoulders. The show ends in blood, smoke
and fire just like a great rock show should.
The entourage was still hungry for more
and made a quick stop in Holland to perform the show one more time
before returning home.
The summer of ’09 is about to become the
next chapter in the Lizzy Borden saga with appearances at this
years “Rocklahoma” and “Rock gone wild” festivals. To be
continued...

Lizzy Borden/George Lynch bass player unveils ESP 8 string bass
Bass Player
Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden, George Lynch, Starwood), a
long time player and endorsee of ESP, has unveiled photo's of his
new 8 string ESP Bass. "I have played ESP's for most of my
life," explained Marten Andersson. "Working together with ESP, and
based on my ideas and specs we have created a prototype of my first
custom bass. This is a true, unique 8 string bass that has been
refined in my head for a couple of years. I chose top components and
the highest standards and craftsmanship that ESP offers. This bass
stays in tune throughout a full headlining set and it is one of the
loudest, most powerful basses I have ever heard."
Only available factory direct through ESP (at the moment) as a built
to order. This bass was designed on Andersson's original
specifications and comes with top of the line pickups and hardware,
but can be outfitted with either EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups,
Schaller or Dunlop Straplocks, and Black or Chrome hardware.
Featuring a standard 8 string ESP B Series neck (with different
headstock), 34" scale with 24 frets. The model incorporates a
metallic red sparkle finish with star inlays as fret markers.
Fretboard/inlay: rosewood/stars and Gotoh Tuners.
The new signature bass can be seen in the Lizzy Borden video ''Under
Your Skin" which premiered on MTV's Headbangers Ball last
weekend. The track comes off Lizzy Borden's CD "Appointment With
Death" out world-wide on Metal Blade Records.
'Under Your Skin' Video To Premiere Tomorrow
on MTV-Headbangers Ball
LIZZY BORDEN's video for the song "Under
Your Skin" will make its online debut tomorrow (Thursday, March 26) on
MTV's HeadbangersBlog.com. The video will also be aired on
MTV2's "Headbangers Ball"
on Saturday, March 28.
Commented LIZZY BORDEN
vocalist/namesake: "After our last video, 'Tomorrow
Never Comes', was nominated for video of the year on
MTV's 'Headbangers Ball',
we thought we had to step up the visuals big time on our next one.
"For the 'Under Your
Skin' video, we knew we wanted a storyline that mirrored the lyrics
to the song. I wrote 'Skin' about the teenage
phenomenon that is happening to one out of every two hundred teenage
(mostly girls). That phenomenon is called cutting.
"The video for 'Under
Your Skin' follows the lives of three very different girls, a rich
girl neglected by her parents, a cheerleader with a
'nothing's-ever-good-enough' mother and a poor girl with an alcoholic
father. The girls all have complete opposite backgrounds but share the
same big secret — they all cut themselves.
"In the video, Death
(played by me) stalks the girls just waiting for the one who, on this
occasion, will cut a little too deep.
"We recruited first-time director
Ann Potenza for the job; she understood this song
completely and wrote a great treatment that we all loved right away. She
then recruited director of photography, Gigi Malavasi,
to complete the team. Joey Scott (drummer of
LIZZY BORDEN) and Ann
scouted locations and hired our cast (the rich girl in the video is my
niece, Christina Farr).
"We wanted something that would showcase
the song and the band, but with this video we got a whole lot more.
"My goal has always been to entertain,
but if we can bring awareness to something like this, all the better.
"I was at a party recently talking to
some girl and telling her that our new video was about cutting. She
showed me the scars on her arm; that's how common this is.
"Hope you like the video, and if you are
or know someone that cuts themselves, check out the PSA at the end of
the video; there is information that may help."

9p (of 10) The people who don’t see the cool in Make up, Axe blades with fake
blood and a singer that goes through Halloween masks like festival
beers, will not like Lizzy Borden. If you like all this, combined with
awesome ‘Wasp’ meets ‘Queensryche’ metal and the same (emanate) singer
that is a lion tamer with the audience - yes, you might just say, like
me, agree that Lizzy Borden is the highlight of the entire SRF. Certain
die hard fans might have missed certain classics, but the new
“Appointment with Death” - songs lifts to high heavens live, and I got
to hear “Me Against the World” do not complain.

Lizzy Borden - Bang your head"
review in Metal Hammer
Shock-rocker Lizzy Borden knows how to
entertain the audience: The five americans put on party-hits like
'Tomorrow Never Comes', 'There Will Be Blood Tonight', 'Me Against The
World' or 'We Got The Power' and staged a spectacular show that somehow
reminds of Kiss. Masquerade in great profusion, Dancers (that pretend to
give lead singer Lizzy a blow-job, getting their top ripped off and
being bloody massacred) and a fake blood orgy in the first row - party!
No wonder one disapproved with the Band being on stage early afternoon.

Lizzy Borden's new video for "Abnormal"
available
"Abnormal" off Lizzy Borden's latest release Appointment With
Death,
Just got back from Michelle Meldrum’s
memorial.
As I am writing this I just came back from Michelle
Meldrum's memorial. It was a really nice fitting memorial but also a lot
of people deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing.
All I can say is never take your life for granted, keep up with your
health and go have physicals with your doctorevery year. Michelle had no
idea what she had coming and her death could POSSIBLY have been
prevented. I am just really happy I got to see her at the VQ party a
couple of weeks ago. I first meet Michelle a long time ago. I was just a
young guy who had only been in Hollywood for a couple of weeks. She was
on top of her world, being signed to Geffen Records and touring all over
the world. Most people in that situation wouldn't take the time to even
look at you but she was such a great sweat considering soul that took
the time to give me advise on how to make it in the music industry and
what to watch out for. We kept in touch over the years and later doing
the myspace thing. When I started to play with Lizzy Borden and George
Lynch she was always fast to point out it was all because of her and I
basically owed my career to her, then she would always bust out
laughing. I will miss that.
If you never have heard her music pick up some of the Phantom Blue or
Meldrum stuff. She was an extremely talented player with a bright
future, she brought great passion to her music (and to life in general).
Michelle you will always be in our hearts and you will be greatly
missed. Have a great journey, say hello to Alex and Ty up there will
you.
I also want to express my heartfelt condolences to her family and
friends. If you can please contribute to the memorial fund that has been
set up through Paypal. Your donations is going to her family and her son
3-year-old son Jake to help offset funural expenses and for his
education. MichelleMeldrumFund@gmail.com (through
paypal.com)
See you in Sweden and Germany!

sized back catalog, and since this is our first appearance at the Sweden Rock
Festival we want to play one or two songs off of each record. We are also
playing quite a few choice cuts from our latest Appointment with Death;
it’s going to be a bloody good time!"

of marketing Andreas Sundgren. “He is a talented musician who has shown
his versatility not only through his different styles of music,
but through authoring of music books and acting roles. It’s a win-win

The Darker side
In a career
spanning almost 25 years, Lizzy Borden was
created in 1983 in Hollywood California. Spitting
venom, stage blood and dripping grease paint while
breathing life into bizarre characters bred
precisely for the stage. Theme oriented creations
such as, Love you to pieces (
1985) Menace to society (1986) Visual Lies (1987) Master of Disguise (1989) Best Of (1994)
and Deal with the Devil (2000)
forever cemented icon status to the master showman
from the dawn of heavy metal.
Now, Years in the
making, Lizzy Borden pulls back the cloak to
unveil his latest and most frightening creation, Appointment with Death (2007) a
fatalistic journey to the final
destination damned by the wings of death.
This is Lizzy
Borden’s First new studio recording since
Deal with the Devil
(2000)
Appointment with
Death
was produced by L. Borden and J. Scott
It was recorded at
the
Zanzibar
studios in N. Hollywood CA.
And was mixed by
Eric Rutan (Morbid
Angel)
at Mana sound in Florida
(….. about the
concept and the characters on AWD)
Like all past
Lizzy Borden recordings, Appointment with
Death is a conceptual piece; this concept is
centered around the theme of, as the title
implies, Death.
“Oddly
enough, writing eleven songs about death was no
easy task for me; lyrically being graphic or
grotesque would have been too easy, and being
overly morbid would bring nothing new to the
concept. I wrote this just like I have all of the
other LB recordings, as a play or a movie. There
is a beginning, middle and an end with the lead
character taking us on a journey. Death is all
around us, lurking, waiting to pounce, striking
fear and antagonizing the living in many different
ways, I tried to explore some of those ways in the
most poetic way that I know how”
commented Lizzy.
The music on AWD
was composed by Lizzy, Ira Black, Marten
Andersson and Joey Scott
AWD
is epic, Heavy, dark and melodic, everything a
traditional Lizzy Borden recording should be and
more. With new guitarist Ira Black along
with Marten Andersson on Bass and
co/founder Joey Scott on the drums, the
Lizzy Borden sound has evolved into a
multi-dimensional ever-lasting-gobstopper
working just as
well in an ipod as it has always done on stage.
(The Star
studded cast of characters that performed on AWD)
“These musicians
are more then just special guests, they all, each
in their own original way helped to create this
work of fiction and bring Appointment with
Death to life.” Lizzy

(….About the
cover)
For the Cover,
Lizzy Borden worked with special effects
wizard and make-up artist Ralis Kahn. Ralis
designed the set and the look of the band based on
the theme for Appointment with Death. The cover depicts Lizzy as the angel of Death in the
action of collecting 3 souls who have ended their
lives in 3 very different ways by their own hands. Famed ‘Metal’ photographer Alex Solca
took well over a 1,000 shots in a two-day
marathon, involving extras as well as the band (Lizzy,
Joey Scott, Marten Andersson and Ira Black).
At the end of the two-day shoot the set was
literally set a blaze! With flames shooting 30
feet into the air!
Lizzy explains “Because a lot of music is
going straight to itunes, we thought we would pay
special attention to both the cover and the back
cover and fill the inside of the CD booklet with
tons of fun shots from this specialized photo
shoot. As we all know, very soon there will no
longer be an actual CD to have a cool booklet for.
Everything will go straight from the studio to
your ipod, so we thought we would really go all
out on this one”
(….About the
tour and the new show)
The new show for
the Appointment with Death Tour is
based around the theme of the new release; with
Lizzy playing the lead character (Death).
Lizzy and Co. will bring to life the characters
and imagery from the album to the stage with
special effects master Ralis Kahn at the
helm. Ralis is working with the band
designing an extraordinary over the top stage show
created especially for the AWD tour.
Showcasing songs
from the new release as well as all the Borden fan favorites, the upcoming tour promises to
be the show you don’t want to miss.
Tour Dates to be
announced soon.

Although no details have been revealed, Ralis has designed the set and
the look of the band based on the characters in the storyline of the
new recording.
Famed ‘Metal’ photographer Alex Solca took well over a 1,000 shots in
a two-day marathon, involving extras as well as the band (Lizzy, Joey
Scott, Marten Andersson and Ira Black). At the end of the two-day
shoot the set was literally set a blaze! with flames shooting 30 feet
into the air! And all captured on film.
“Because a lot of music is going straight to itunes, we thought we
would pay special attention to both the cover and the back cover and
fill the inside of the CD booklet with tons of fun shots from this
specialized photo shoot. As we all know, very soon there will no
longer be an actual CD to have a cool booklet for. Everything will go
straight from the studio to your ipod, so we thought we would really
do this one up right!” commented Lizzy
Fifteen hours worth of video footage was also filmed during the two
day shoot.
Stay tuned for the ‘Making of’ as well as the
cover to be posted soon.

"LEGACY is packed full of cutting vocals,
pounding rhythms and blazing guitar work, Marten
Andersson and company are sure to please even the hardest of metal heads."
I've
been getting a lot of inquiries by US service men and women. Telling us
how our songs are helping them and the fight overseas, how the Lizzy
Borden anthem "American Metal" is being listened to before
battles. I also know that they played Lizzy Borden songs as Instruments
of coercion to get out General Noriega so keep supporting these men and
women will you. Read More>

LIZZY BORDEN has
signed with Coallier Entertainment Ltd. (W.A.S.P.,
TWISTED SISTER). "We are all very excited to be with Coallier
Entertainment," the band said in a statement. "Touring in all
territories has been our goal for a long, long time and now with
Coallier Entertainment booking us, we can play in places that we
never have before and bring the LIZZY BORDEN show worldwide.
As previously reported, LIZZY BORDEN is working on a new record
and is looking to recreate the LIZZY BORDEN logo to fit with the
new concept.
The logo shape has not changed very much over the years, but the inside
of the logo has gone from red with blades ("Give 'em the Axe") to
a hypnotizing green ("Visual Lies") to the American flag with
exposed bones ("The Murderess Metal Roadshow") and then finally
on a contract signed by the horned one himself ("Deal with the Devil").
Commented Lizzy: "With every record we try and make the logo fit
the concept. The concept for the new record is very dark and ominous and
we need the logo to reflect that.
"We've seen some amazing artwork on MySpace and other places on the net
and would love to find that artist who understands LIZZY BORDEN
and be the one to pen the logo for the forthcoming LIZZY BORDEN
record."
Interested parties are encouraged to read more and
submit their ideas at:LizzyBorden.com.
LIZZY BORDEN earlier in the year announced the addition of
guitarist Ira Black (METAL CHURCH, VICIOUS RUMORS) to the
group's ranks.
