Rough Edge Contests

Our contests are painfully easy to enter. Just enter your name in the box for the contest you'd like to enter (yes, you can enter them all) and click Submit. Your e-mail address will be placed in our old, tattered leather hat and, once a month or so, we'll pull out a batch of e-mail addresses and - if luck is with you - you'll be a winner! (Don't worry, we hate spam as much as you - we won't share your name and address with anybody without giving you the chance to opt out. Some of the record companies insist on gathering e-mail if you opt in to receive more information). By the way, winners will be notified by e-mail so make sure your e-mail address is valid.

The long-awaited new CD from Queensryche, "American Soldier," is now at your favorite record store and, Queensryche fans are giving this CD a big thumbs up.

Pretty awesome, no? Just enter your e-mail address in the spot below and click Submit. If your name is drawn, the prize package is yours!

Why not start here, with her brand new DVD release, "Beethoven's Guitar Shred." All you have to do is enter your e-mail address in the box below, click Submit and wait for an e-mail from us telling you that your name was drawn from our tattered leather hat. Oh, and did I mention that our copies are autographed by the Great one herself?
