This unique and unprecedented aggregation of musicians was no jam session. Each song was studiously rehearsed and arranged, coming together with exuberant perfection, to produce a concert that can only be called ‘Legend.’ Conceived as a followup to theRoadrunner United AllStarrecording sessions, the label recruited the core team of musicians Dino Cazares, Adam Duce, Paul Gray, Joey Jordison, Andreas KisserandRoy Mayorga as the backbone of the performance. Sure enough, as they finetuned the songs and rehearsed them tirelessly, dozens of other musicians came on board.This3LPset represents the gathering of a community of musicians that spans the heavy metal history of the first 25 years of Roadrunner Records fromKing DiamondtoSlipknotand beyond.
