I thought i was the only one who thought that!
Why don't more metal bands have permanent sax players?
Or a tribute band who do metal songs on saxophones?
They could call themselves SAX-On.
:oops:
Sorry.
If someone does this, my life will be complete.

289. Running Wild not doing one song or passage with acoustic guitar and lyrics inter weaved in over 20 years and 13 (or so) albums (we're talking about NO ballads here).

290. The fact the original "Power & Pain" lineup of Whiplash had three guys all with the first name "Tony".

291. Thin Lizzy's "Angel of Death" - the best "Angel of Death" written.

292. Rhett Forrester - Rest in peace. Not only the biggest tough guy to ever exist in metal and voice, but also died like a tough guy not willing to give up his car in a carjack and dying in front of a hospital after driving several blocks to get help.

293. Older bands like Judas Priest and Riot from more hard rock roots surviving decades and reinventing themselves time after time, ALWAYS staying stronger than the "new blood".

294. The masses of German bands from the 80's that would rely on help from the U.K. to write lyrics.

295. John Cyriis' glass shattering scream that cuts in and out of human range and beyond on the demo version of "144.000 Gone".

296. The Jean Michel Jarre-like intro of 'Yearning the Seeds of a New Dimension ' by In The Woods... is torn apart by the banshee scream of Jan Kenneth Transeth. Behold the memories within, a questful battle to win / Towards which he is carrying the burden named destiny
