IMV RELEASES NEW “BEHIND THE PLAYER” DVD
FEATURING MIKE INEZ – THE BASSIST FOR ALICE IN CHAINS

LOS ANGELES, CA — November 18, 2008 — IMV LLC announces the release of a new Interactive Music Video featuring Mike Inez. Mike is the Grammy® Award winning bassist for the Alice in Chains. His hard-driving musical style has made him one of rock music’s greatest bass players.

The IMV: Behind the Player DVD series -- which features personal music lessons from members of some of the world’s most influential bands like Godsmack, Ozzy Osbourne, Slipknot, Atreyu and Velvet Revolver -- provides music fans with an exciting new way to learn their to play favorite songs: right from the artists that recorded them.

In his IMV: Behind the Player DVD, Mike gives an intimate behind-the scenes look at his life as a professional musician – including rare photos and video footage. He gives in-depth lessons for how to play “A Little Bitter” and “Again”; then jams the tracks with The Cult’s drummer John Tempesta.

The DVD also includes exclusive VideoTab™, which shows exactly how Mike plays the two tracks. The video-game-style animated tablature is similar to GuitarHero®, except shows how to play the tracks for real.

“It was a lot of fun jamming with [The Cult drummer] John Tempsta when shooting my BEHIND THE PLAYER title”, says Alice in Chains bassist Mike Inez, “And probably helpful to for musicians to see how the rhythm section works together when learning to play the tracks.”

Other titles currently available include: John 5, guitarist for Rob Zombie and formerly Marilyn Manson; Tim Skold, former guitarist and bassist for Marilyn Manson and KMFDM; Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan; KoRn guitarist, Munky and KoRn bassist Fieldy; Slipknot bassist Paul Gray; Blasko, bassist for Ozzy Osbourne and formally Rob Zombie; Godsmack bassist Robbie Merrill; Tommy Clufetos, drummer for Rob Zombie; Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros drummer Stephen Perkins; and Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin.
