Dio’s Childhood Home for Sale, Neurosis Reveal ‘Honor’ + More News
Ronnie James Dio's childhood home in Cortland, New York is up for sale. It's being auctioned on eBay of all places. The seller says he bought the home from the late singer almost four years ago, but now has to sell it due so he can move into a bigger place to accommodate his growing family. He describes the dwelling as having a "detached garage," which is where Dio used to play with his friends and bandmates. So it's more like a location of metal history, as opposed to just another house on the real estate market. Bidding opened at $90,000. Any takers? [Via VH1 Classic]

More info will be made available in coming weeks, so expect elucidation then. Be patient. [Via Press Release]

Fans of Dethklok and Metalocalypse number far and wide, and the list includes celebs, as well as metal fans. Still, braintrust Brendon Small is humbled by anyone who likes his projects, saying, "I'm surprised anybody likes anything I'm involved with so anytime anyone's a fan I'm very surprised. Ultimately the way I look at it is that, for me and the people that make the show – for use we're like the audience and if people like it beyond that – it's been crazy to get people that have been a part of this show, not necessarily meaning fans but Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top to Steve Vai to Dave Grohl to King Diamond. I've tricked them into working on the show that doesn't necessarily make them fans but that's been the most exciting part. I'm trying to think who else, oh Jon Hamm from 'Mad Men' who's been on the show – he's a fan." [Loudwire]
