Classic Rock

Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho is a rock’n’roll renaissance man: he’s a superstar wrestler, successful author and podcaster, and he’s fronted the band Fozzy since 1999. New album, Boombox, their eighth, is the follow-up to 2017’s Judas, and sees the band doubling down on the stadium anthems that have led to them playing with Metallica, Kiss and Iron Maiden. Classic Rock got in the ring with Jericho for a few rounds of thankfully only verbal exchanges.

There are some big tunes on Boombox: Purifier is an eighties-style chugger, Army Of One a self-empowerment anthem…

Yeah, has a maybe a Priest-type vibe to it, whereas more a Five Finger Death Punch-stylefor a while because it took us so long – we started it in May 2019 and released it in May 2022. Three years is a long time.
