Hi Trig, thats the City Hall in Newcastle i've had many a good time at this venue i seen my first band here when i was 12 The Scorpions. All the good metal/rock bands have played here.from the 60's to the present day acts like Led Zep Black Sabbath Van Halen Rush Kiss Judas Priest AC DC just to name a few.I just wish more bands would play here,instead of the large Cow shed up the road the Newcastle Telewest Arena.

AWESOME PHOTOS!!

Awesome photos man! Has anyone heard what Carlos is up to nowadays? I know he was involved in some sort of supergroup, but haven't heard anything about it for several months. Is that still on track?

Carlos Cavazo is a truly underrated player. But where is he now? Playing in a this cover band w/ Vinny Appice, Jimmy Bain, Chas West, & Alan Krigger. He also just released an album with the band Power Project. This sounds very power metal-esque.

3 LEGGED DOGG came together when former DIO bandmates Jimmy Bain and Vinny Appice talked about forming a new powerhouse act to continue the musical assault. After hearing vocalist Chas West's hell-raising vocals and guitarist Brian Young's ripping guitar sounds one night at a jam in Hollywood, the foundation was formed. Good friend guitar shredder Carlos Cavazo joined forces to complete the band and a 3 LEGGED DOGG was born.
