Livestream Event celebrates 80s Photographer Mark "Weissguy" Weiss

These days livestreaming seems to be one of the few possibilities to stay in touch with fans, supporters and to spread the word that music is still alive and kicking.

David Ellefson and Thom Hazaert, with legendary music photographer Mark “Weissguy” Weiss will go online on Saturday, May 30 6PM CST/ 7PM EST to celebrate "THE DECADE THAT ROCKED".
