In addition to the rockers we lost, I would also like to take a moment to remember many of the other people who passed away this year, including all of the children and adults killed in Newton, Ct, any and all military - past and present, and anyone who you loved. I don't mean to get too serious on this page, but metal is about passion and family. Keep yourself and those around you safe and healthy and never take anything for granted.
