Mountain’s Leslie West recaptured childhood memories with his rockin’ friends Anthrax’ Scott Ian and Twisted Sister’s J.J. French and Dee Snider. They filmed MATZO AND METAL: A VERY CLASSIC SEDER which is broadcasting this Sunday on VH1 CLASSICS at 7 PM east coast time and 4 west coast.
This is a chance to get some great insight on Jewish culture and how music enriches the Passover story.
All foods served will be Kosher, of course, courtesy of the special's sponsor Manischewitz.
And God certainly has been blessing Leslie and Mountain (made up of drummer Corky Laing and bassist Richie Scarlet) this season, because they have a wealth of tourdates.....Note that the astericked* ones have Mountain opening for Deep Purple!
