Press Release:

Sidewinder Music has announced the forthcoming DVD release of Metal Mania Stripped Across America Live!

Slated for release on February 21st, the DVD features rare and never before seen performances from KIP WINGER, LA GUNS, ALIAS (with guitarist Jason Hook), GREAT WHITE, JANI LANI (ex-Warrant) and SLAUGHTER (from the historic February 2005 Metal Mania Stripped record release party and acoustic concert at the Key Club in Hollywood) as well as performances by STEPHEN PEARCY (formerly of RATT), FIREHOUSE and Jani Lane (from the Halloween 2005 concert at Myth in St. Paul, Minnesota).

"Even though these tracks are acoustic, this DVD still rocks and shows that these songs truly stand the test of time," states Kip Winger. "I was psyched to perform the acoustic version of "Madalaine" out on tour, because it's one of my favorite Winger songs."

In addition to the concert performances, the DVD features incredible bonus footage that includes a rare version of WHITE LION's Mike Tramp performing ‘When The Children Cry’ along with behind the scenes interviews, artist photo galleries, original promo TV spots, military base highlights, tour outtakes, never seen before footage and much more.

Jack Russell of GREAT WHITE comments that, "The list of acoustic tracks on the Stripped discs is outstanding. Being able to perform the acoustic versions with a group of musicians who love what they do was absolutely incredible."

Jani Lane (formerly of Warrant) summed up his "awesome" Stripped experience by saying, "It was great to revisit old friends and play some of the old hits. The opportunity to create acoustic versions of some of the best songs of my career was a definite highlight. I am really excited about bringing the special performances included on this DVD, along with the other Stripped artists', to friends and fans across the country."

According to Executive Producer Jamie Talbot, "Being able to experience these artists with just an acoustic guitar, stripped down, without a wall of sound, was quite an experience for those lucky enough to take in a show. I believe we have captured live what these artists and songs truly represent nearly 20 years after the height of their success.

The tunes hold up and, more importantly, the artistry shines through in a way that has really never been portrayed."
