Mailbox Mayhem: Kent writes: "I just had to say... I am sitting here with my girlfriend and although I live in Georgia, I am originally from Indiana.I remember when you first came out with the heavy metal stuff that was played on 105.1 a lot. I was talking music theory and how it is all relative and decided to look you up. I have just gotta say Amen to what you have done and showing that without classical there could've been no heavy metal." Alexey writes: I'm very exited to see you here in Brazil soon! Will be a great concert! PS: Bring your Viper! ;)"
