Heroes:
Otep Shamaya - YOU ARE A WOMAN OF GREAT MIND AND SOUL! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INSPIRATION!
Maria Brink of In This Moment - ALL THE TEARS I'VE CRIED... ALL THE INSPIRATION YOU GAVE ME... YOUR VOCALS HELPED ME PULL THROUGH - YOU HELPED ME THRU IT ALL! AND YOU NEVER LET ME FALL! AND YOU LET ME FLY AWAY! AND YOU ALWAYS BELIEVED IN ME! - THANK YOU!
Hatebreed - DAMN. WHAT COULD I SAY ABOUT YOU GUYS? THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH! ALL OF YOUR SONGS INSPIRE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME. IT MAKES ME REALISE THAT I TOO CAN "PERSEVERE IN THE NAME OF DEFEAT!" I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I NEVER FOUND YOUR MUSIC. THANK YOU!
Arch Enemy - ANGELA, YOU MADE ME REALISE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF MY VOICE. YOUR LYRICS HELPED ME THROUGH SOME OF THE DARKEST POINTS OF MY LIFE. THE VICIOUS GUITAR AND BASS RIFFS BECAME MY HEARTBEAT AND THEY MADE ME THROW MY SOUL TO THE HEAVENS! THANK YOU!
Within Temptation - YOU TAUGHT ME WHAT IT WAS TO "STAND MY GROUND." FINDING YOU ON MYSPACE WAS THE GREATEST BLESSING! YOU ALSO GOT MY FRIEND INTO SYMPHONIC/GOTHIC METAL! SEEING YOU IN CONCERT IN SEPT. 2007 SHOWED ME WHAT TRUE EMOTION WAS, BREAKING INTO TEARS DURING "STAND MY GROUND," "DECEIVER OF FOOLS," AND "HAND OF SORROW;" AND NEARLY GIVING MYSELF WHIPLASH HEADBANGING TO "OUR SOLEMN HOUR." YOU MAKE MY INNER FIRE BURN FOREVER TO ETERNITY! THANK YOU!
Epica - YOUR SONGS ALWAYS SEEMED TO POP UP AT THE RIGHT TIME. IT WAS LIKE A SIGN. YOU'VE HELPED ME THROUGH SO MUCH, AND THANKS TO YOU, THE DRAGON HAS BEEN SLAIN! THANK YOU!
Lacuna Coil - THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS BRILLIANT BAND! IF NOT FOR LC, I MIGHT NOT EVEN BE INTO GOTH METAL/SYMPHONIC ROCK/ WHATEVERTHEFUCKYOUWANNACALLIT. IT ALL STARTED WITH "UNLEASHED MEMORIES" IN 2003. I HAVE A CO-WORKER TO THANK FOR THAT. THEN MEETING YOU AT BORDER'S IN 2006. YOU HAVE BECOME FAMILY TO ME, AND I RESPECT AND LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY. THE SPIRAL BURNS DEEP WITHIN, "SENZAFINE" - WITHOUT END.
THERE ARE SO MANY MORE HEROES I COULD LIST, BUT IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER. THOSE WHO HELPED ME THROUGH MY STRUGGLES, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I OWE MY LIFE TO YOU. WITHOUT YOU AND THE MUSIC, IT COULD HAVE BEEN SUICIDE. I CAN FINALLY REACH THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND STEP INTO THE LIGHT!
