Heavy heavy metal
Bands like Metallica and AC/DC had some pretty scary dudes who you probably wouldn't want to mess with. But they didn't average 300+ pounds.
Three Dallas Cowboys linemen — offensive tackle Marc Colombo (318), offensive guard Leonard Davis (353) and center Cory Procter (308) — make up 3/4 of a heavy metal band they call Free Reign (the fourth member is one of Davis' buddies, Justin Chapman).
And this just isn't a hobby to pass the time. The group just signed a recording deal with Riot Entertainment and its debut album will be released in the fall.
Said Riot owner John Howarth in a Tuesday news release: "Free Reign is a band with massive potential. There has been an enormous buzz surrounding them since they appeared on the scene a few months ago. Free Reign has already been flooded with endorsements. Their marketing potential is limitless. These guys are already huge sports stars, but they have shown they have the talent to diversify."
Colombo plays guitar and is the lead vocalist, while Procter plays drums and Davis is on bass.
Here's a sample of their work from an April show at the Granada Theater in Dallas.
In case anyone's planning a trip to Dallas this weekend, Free Reign's last show of the offseason is at the House of Blues in Dallas Saturday night.

Sorry Mad Dog,
As much as I still love AC/DC, Angus Young and his Lord Fauntleroy outfits never generated much fear in me.
You are showing your youth here.
They were awful. Whoever can't sing and the rest can't play. I know metal bands are legendary for being talentless but this is beyond that.
Good evening. Can I just say few warm words ;) It's so nice here, good atmosphere, well done :). Help me! It has to find sites on the: source window coverings. I found only this - blinds window shades coverings treatments. Fabulous great room w fireplace, wet bar entertainment centre. Get shades with a regular twine so they are simple to pull up and down. With best wishes :rolleyes:, Abira from Niger.
