AMAZING GROUP, IRON MAIDEN FOR LIFE
I only have a few favorite bands which are IRON MAIDEN, GODSMACK, & RUSH, FUEL, EVANESCENCE, & QUEENSRYCH. You all represent raw talent in such a massive big way. All other bands are just that, bands that I listen to. I am sure that others will say i am smoked that there are other bands just as good, this is true but I don't care about those others, the ones I mentioned are my favorites & that is how that stays. There are bands that one listens to & then they fade away, then there are bands such as you & the others I mentioned above, which are in your own field, you all have a fallowing that you have had for years. And anyone that knows anything about good rock musicians know that the fallowing you have you have forever. One day your asked about the band that played that one song & hell we don't remember, but ask who is the band that sang "Wasted Years" & you get 'IRON MAIDEN" OR Rush, soundgarden, & so on & I AM RIGHT about this area. Now that said.I really can not thank you guy's enough for all the great times you helped me have by putting out the quality of music of yesterday & today. There is absolutely no way that there is any other band better. I am not saying you are the best but you are by far one of thee greatest & talented bands to ever grace a stage. If there is a better band, please point them out. I am 44, a drummer (Nicko McBrain is a drummers dream), a hard rocker to the bone. Nicko is a drummer to be reckoned with & is ever as good as Neil Peart. My favorite drummers are Nicko, Shannon Larkin (Godsmack), Peart, & Thomas Lang. I have had the honor of seeing your great band in concert & you did fail or flinch, you flat out delivered a great performance but then this is nothing new. I have to say also that I never gave a bass player any credit until Steve Harris showed my what time it was. Again guys thanks for ALL your hard work & keep rock'n hard.
