Susan Smeghead Posts: 6941 From: USA	Permalink 28.09.2011 - 17:27 Susan Smeghead Posts: 6941 From: USA LOVE that Mustaine totally adopted Volbeat. I hope this gets them some positive exposure and doesn't somehow ruin them for the American mainstream. They're HUGE where they come from... just sadly unknown in the US, like so many quality metal bands. Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil will forever be one of my favourite albums ---- "A life all mine Is what I choose At the end of my days" --The Gathering "A Life All Mine" from Souvenirs Loading...

We can now look forward to Satan's Sideboard, The Bookcase Of Doom, TV Corner Unit Of Hell and Death Desk. I'm currently writing a song called "The Salt Shaker, It Is Me". See you guys at Gigantour.
