Randy, your band's music has helped me through some tough stuff, and it will always mean a lot to me. I have lost track of how many times I have seen LOG play.

One of my most memorable experiences was at the Free Ozzfest in 2007 at the Post Gazette Pavillion in Pittsburgh. The circle pit covered the whole side of the lawn, and people were coming down in waves so fast that the whole crowd at the bottom was getting pushed back and forth like 20 feet. That, along with the tons of fires going up everywhere was an experience I will never forget.

You said that that circle pit was the biggest you've ever seen. Was that and is that still true?

Also, As the Palaces Burn and Ashes of the Wake both are, IMO, very lyrically deep, with some very strong political statements. You are very critical of the government and I agree with a lot of what you say.

I want to know if you stand behind those lyrics, and actually believe in what you're saying? Because to me, you are spreading the gospel, but that doesn't mean anything if the preacher doesn't believe it.

I also think it is incredibly clever how a lot of your lyrics can be interpreted as either political or religious in nature.

All of you guys are musical masterminds, and knowing that you are true to your words will keep me listening as long as you keep making albums. Rock on and hail true metal!!

I grew up going to a thrift store that had a huge bookcase of cover-less books. I always wondered why they were like that, until i read the disclaimer in the book one day. I always thought that was so stupid, especially since they were being resold anyway. Needless to say, I owned quite a few stripped books.
