The crew at Disposable Heroes wishes everyone a great New Years and we look forward to banging out the metal in a venue near you soon.

Cheers

The guys played a sold out show in Calgary at the historic Shamrock club and levelled the crowd with an intense, high energy set. The crowd on hand were once again treated to a ton of old and new material played to perfection.

Look for Disposable Heroes to be annoucing a bunch of new shows in the near future so be sure to check the Tour section often.

Disposable Heroes rolled into Red Deer for the third time in '05, and for the third time the show was sold out well in advance. If you were one of the lucky ones to get a hold of tickets for this show then you were treated to one very special night. Greg Kristianson made his debut with the band on bass and wowed the crowd with an amazing performance. This guy can play, and definitely did "Justice" to the three bass icons of Metallica.

The band played an amazing, pummeling set from start to finish. The guys seemed to have a bit extra in the tank on this one and played a full throttle, two and a half hour show that will not soon be forgotten. To make the night even better, a bunch of songs were added to the set that had not been played in a while: Hit the Lights, King Nothing, and No Remorse.

Be sure to check out the TOUR and MEDIA sections of the site for more pics and vids from this one.

Next up, Calgary Ab, Dec 10, The Shamrock.

After a lengthy search, Disposable Heroes are proud to announce "Greg Kristianson" as the new Bass Guitar player to replace the outgoing Neil Ross. Greg comes to D.H as a very highly skilled musician with a Masters Degree in Music. Greg first began playing bass by studying the playing of Cliff Burton and later Jason Newsted and his playing shows elements of both legends.

Disposable Heroes are looking forward to getting back on the road soon to a venue near you!!

The band is sorry to see the departure of Neil Ross but wish him much success in his future endeavours.

We regret to announce that the upcoming Disposable Heroes tour of B.C. has been postponed. Ryan's girlfriend was involved in a very bad car accident in which she sustained serious injuries. Obviously Ryan will be diverting his attention away from the band and be devoting his energy to ensuring the full recovery of his girlfriend.

Disposable Heroes will be touring the B.C. area in the coming months. Thank you all for your understanding and we hope to see you out there soon.

The DISPOSABLE HEROES boys rolled into Edmonton Alberta for a show in the heart of downtown and treated a packed house at the The Globe to an intense, high energy show that will not soon be forgotten. The God That Failed , a song that hasn't been played live in a long time, was added to the set and was one of the set highlights. Other highlights on this night were a full throttle version of Frantic and a powerful performance of the classic song One.

The guys had a blast on this one and it showed in one memorable performance. Be sure to check out the Media section for new MP3s and vid clips from this one.

On Tour next is the Globe Tap Bar and Grill in Edmonton, Alberta on Sept 4, 2005

See you all there!!

Once again the boys played in Red Deer Alberta, and once again it was a sold out show. This was a great crowd for sure and damn were they LOUD. The D.H. guys changed the setlist up a bit on this one and threw in lots of classics like Leper Messiah, Ride the Lightning and Damage Inc.

The band had a blast playing Red Deer again and are looking forward to playing another show there before the year is out.

WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

The boys rolled into Saskatoon Saskatchewan and blew the doors off the Odeon, a historic landmark in the heart of downtown. The large crowd was hungry for some Metal and the guys did not leave them disappointed. The band played a non stop, high energy set that left all with big smiles on their faces. Phantom Lord was dropped into the set and the old school fans on hand definitely loved hearing it.

This was an amazing show in a great venue. Look for D.H. to roll back into Saskatchewan again in the very near future. Be sure to check out the Media and Tour sections for new videos which will be up soon.

For info on the show phone The Odeon at (306) 651-1000 or email info@theodeon.ca.

The boys rolled into Edmonton and blew the roof off of Reds one more time. The crowd on hand were treated to a bunch of songs that hadn't seen the light of day for a while. Holier Than Thou, Through The Never, the full version of Am I Evil, and another song from that "other" band Holy Wars.

The band seemed to have a little extra "snarl" on this one and it definitely came through in one very memorable performance.

5 lucky people who purchase the "Some Kind Of Monster" DVD and their guest can win a trip to meet Metallica at their home base also known as "Metallica headquarters."

Winners and guest will tour the facility including the recording studio, fan club offices and rehearsal space.  See first hand the studio where Metallica's Platinum Album St. Anger was recorded.  All of the winners and their guest will be flown to the San Francisco area to meet the band.  Winning golden tickets can be found inside especially marked Metallica: Some Kind of Monster DVDs.  The game ends May 3, 2005 and currently only one winner has been confirmed, so there are four winning tickets still out there!!!

Featuring the most successful heavy metal band of all time, METALLICA: SOME KIND OF MONSTER offers a revealing and exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the legendary band as they confront personal demons and their relationships with each other while recording their Grammy™-winning album, St. Anger.  Directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky followed the band around day and night and shot more than 1,200 hours of footage over a period of a year in order to create this extraordinary documentary that showcases the band in a different light.  From writing an album from scratch, to fighting and therapy sessions and a rehab stint in between everything, this documentary shows a side of Metallica that many people have never seen and that fans will love.

VH1 FUELS THE AIRWAVES WITH A METALLICA DOUBLE PLAY ON SATURDAY, APRIL 9 BEGINNING AT 9PM*

VH1 Airs Both “When Metallica Ruled The World” at 9:00 PM* Followed By The Cable Commercial-free Premiere Of “Metallica: Some Kind of Monster” at 10:00 PM*

NEW YORK, March 29, 2005 – Even people who don’t know heavy metal know Metallica. Always controversial, always outspoken, always uncompromising; Metallica rose from obscurity to take over the world of heavy metal and become the 7th biggest selling musical act in American history.

VH1 has produced the ultimate no holds barred oral history of Metallica: “When Metallica Ruled The World.” This hour-long documentary, airing Saturday, April 9 at 9:00 PM* will take you through the band’s tumultuous 24 year history, told through exclusive interviews with band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo- Bassist as well as Metallica’s former bassist, Jason Newsted to give fans and viewers the real story behind the band’s ups and downs.  The episode will discuss  everything from James Hetfield’s battle with alcohol, to Jason Newsted’s resignation and the bands subsequent journey into therapy.

“Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster,” premiering commercial-free, Saturday, April 9 at 10:00 PM* provides an in-depth portrait of one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time, as they faced monumental personal and professional challenges while recording their first studio album of original songs in five years. What began as the documenting of the making of an album became an unexpected voyage into the complexities of human relationships, and the power of the creative process to exact emotional tolls and ultimately, to heal the soul. Three years in the making, this new film from acclaimed documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky (the team that created “Brother’s Keeper” and “Paradise Lost,”) follows the band’s trough the reinvention of their creative process, as well as their struggle to balance their personal lives with the demands of sustaining the multi-million dollar business they’ve spent twenty years building.

*All Times ET/PT

This was definitely a very cool show and if you were one of the lucky ones that were able to get their hands on a ticket (the show sold out well in advance) then you left with a great big smile on your face. The boys were in top form on this evening and played a TON.

Being that it was St.Patricks day, you know the boys had to be throwing Whiskey In The Jar into the set. Once again, the crowd in Red Deer Ab got a treat when Hanger 18 was blasted their way.

The crowd for this one was great. Look for DH to be rolling back into the central Alberta region in the not too distant future. As always, keep checking the Tour section for the latest DH tour dates.

Well, the DH boys played their first show of '05 at the very popular Morgan's nightclub in Calgary Ab. last night. The guys mixed up the set with a lot of old and new tunes and the crowd was more than appreciative. Lots of old school Met fans in the crowd so songs like Phantom Lord and Hit the Lights were big hits.

Those on hand were definitely treated to a very RARE occurrence when the guys dropped a surprise song into the set... Hanger 18?!?!?!? No, not a Met song, but it is a song written by a former 'Tallica member so it's all good. The crowd seemed to get a kick out of hearing it too.

Things will definitely be busy in the DH camp this year and this was great way to start.
