Music Junkie Press has arrived at NAMM 2015 and from the looks of it, this year is going to be one of the best on record.  Tonight Rockin Ryan is at the NAMM Metal Allegiance which is being held at House of Blues in Anaheim. The night promises to be one incredible one as performances will include Frank Bello, Charlie Benante, Rex Brown and many more. I also got word that a certain member of Van Halen will be making an appearance.  Check out the lineup:
