Wow...and guess who's gonna be singing on one of the tracks, Joe Lynn Turner...the guy who sang the "Bon Scott version" of Back In Black.
74, whats up dude? good show last night, huh? my ears are still ringin. i should get this xmas album!
What's up GoZone? Good meeting you at the Metal Masters Tour. I thought Judas Priest/Heaven & Hell and Motorhead sounded really good but I thought Testament sounded way too bassy and the vocals were lost in the mix. Snuck down into the pavilion finally for the Judas Priest portion of the show. Like I said, I have the 8/3/00 Auburn Hills, MI show on video on my computer but I have to do the editing and then burning of it to dvd first. I will start working on it this week and let you know when I am done. I still have your business card so then I will mail you out a copy. Sound good?
