      deep down it sucks man.. but that's how music industry is running these days. rap crap edm and all other shit.. but i guess we the "hard rock lovers & metal community " have our own space , we enjoy what we play &what we want to hear.. but yes can't do anything about mainstream shit and remixes.

    You filled my eyes with tears with what you wrote. Beautiful. You have no finer idol. A good all around person...man. He is arguably the greatest guitarist ever. I have NEVER in my 27 years of ardently following the band have I heard one bad thing about John. He has been married 25 years. For a musician on the road with as much opportunity add he likely has had, he has the integrity to be a great husband and father. God bless. Let's hope John gives us at least 25 years of his brilliance.
