1. Have you heard of a local metal act called Brother Von Doom?

I know you are from Dayton and that you are familiar with the local music scene. I heard Brother Von Doom on the Sirius/XM metal channel the other day.

2. You must be thinking of another bbernardini...

I've never even been to any of the 25 different Daytons in the United States (or the one in Canada), let alone lived in any of them. :)

4. Some Trans-Siberian(sp) and that Twisted Sister Xmas album is a hoot.

Yes, I know TS is not prog rock/metal. TS still rocks.

5. I heard Dee Schneider being interviewed about that Twisted Sister album

He said he didn't realize it when he wrote the song, but he accidentally ripped off "Oh Come All Yea Faithful" when he came up with the chorus to "We're Not Gonna Take It." :)

6. LOL the melody is so similar ain't it? Throwing in the Hava Nagila melody

into the guitar chorus is such a hoot.
