- *** How can you compare opera to Led Zep. If that's you're basis for judging
- vocals maybe this isn't your group. His voice was so killer so perfect for
- what Zep did. I don't plan on discussing metal with ANY opera singers and I
- think you're a fool for bringing that up.

- *** I saw Malmsteen live in Troy NY opening for Maiden and he truly sucked and
- insulted everyone there. Why you ask? GET THIS: I was in the 3rd row from
- stage and during a so-called solo I saw his hands leave the guitar for at
- least 3 seconds. He wasn't even playing. A total loser. And I wasn't the only
- one who saw it.

- Sorry if I flamed but I simply disagree (TOTALLY) with you're opinions.
