It's a tough business to "convert" someone. I gave it up on my pals, `cause if you are in a certain age, it might be too late, to change your taste in such a fundamental way. It's different thou with my nephew, he's 18 and he likes Metallica (Kill ´em all), Iron Maiden and Dark Tranquility...

I would love to see a CD-Reissue f the couple of Riot Songs that were sung by Harry Conklin. They sounded great, Harry at his very best. Also the Dutch Band Valkyrie with their self released "Deeds Of Prowess" would be nice to have. These guys are still around, playing in different bands. ...
