BEFORE I GET STARTED HERE I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I WILL ANSWER ALL E-MAILS AS SOON AS I POSSIBLY CAN. THIS BEING ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING FAMILIES ON MYSPACE AND 2 INDIVIDUAL RECORDING CONTRACTS KEEPS ME EXTREMELY BUSY SO PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME. REMEMBER THAT MYSPACE ALLOWS 400 E-MAILS PER DAY AND PROFILE WHILE I GET BETWEEN 1000 TO 3000 MESSAGES ON ANY GIVEN DAY. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE I WILL GET YOUR MESSAGE USE [email protected] INSTEAD OF THE MYSPACE MAILBOX. THANK YOU ALL FOR UNDERSTANDING. WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, HERE IS MY INFORMATION AND BIO...Mandy Lion's WWIII. An artist with a band band that defines heavy in a BIG way with monstrous grooves, catchy riff-laden songs, and a unique sonic signature completely unto itself. Singer, mastermind, and front man Mandy Lion has led this electrifying band through the years with his incredible voice and larger-than-life persona. With an original lineup that boasted Joe Floyd (Warrior) on guitar, Jimmy Bain (Rainbow, Dio) on bass, and Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) on drums, Mandy achieved an intense sound early on, setting WWIII vastly apart from other groups of the Heavy Metal genre in the process. But his success did not end there. Mandy has fronted countless other line-ups as well with such legendary musicians as George Lynch (Dokken, Lynchmob), Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, WWIII), James Kottack (Kingdome Come, Scorpions, WWIII), Mikkey Dee (King Diamond, Dokken, Motorhead, WWIII), and the list goes .. on the Official Mandy Lion Website link directly beneath for more on the extensive history of the band.

WHEN GOD TURNED AWAY
EUROPEAN COVER ART EDITION
Searing and unorthodox, the guitar-slinging of Moni, the "Evil Priest," is both exhilarative and stimulating in its own reich. Moni's guitar solos contain melodic flavors from around the world. Sometimes he is subtle and reserved, but without warning he unleashes a flurry of licks and six-string pyrotechnics, executing a unique modal style that soars into a realm of guitar wizardry no one has gone before.Low frequency devastation rich with thundering undertones and just the right amount of sonic girth to gorge the melodic gap between guitar and drums... That is what Jon Purpura does with a vengeance. Jon Purpura is the perfect compliment to Moni's guitar tactics. Jon is a true monster with a sound and style all his own and exactly what this band needed to take the music to a whole new level.There are good drummers, great drummers, and then there are "super drummers." Pete Holmes is one to join these ranks. His resume speaks for itself... Pete has recorded and toured with Ian Gillan, the Michael Schenker Group, Ted Nugent and many others. His power, drive and talent are second to none! In fact, the only drummers comparable to this monster are hard-hitting authorities Cozy Powell, Jon Bonham and Ian Pace. Pete is the latest addition to the Mandy Lion camp and we are honored to have him aboard.Leather-clad and lethal with his beloved Mollosser and his 2000 LB 600+HP custom Chevy V8 motorcycle is none other than "The Beast" himself, Mandy Lion. The most dynamic and engaging front man music has ever known, Mandy dominates any concert venue with his uniquely textured voice and ultra-powerful stage presence. Mandy Lion is the originator of the extreme power vocal and though just about everyone who is anyone these days is trying to duplicate what Mandy created, none have succeeded. Imagine Rob Zombie's intense growl combined with Ronnie James Dio's explosive talent and Rob Halford's infinite range... but all in one! Mandy's inhuman power and growl technique teamed with an unmistakable mystifying delivery makes it impossible for anyone to recreate his unearthly style. Plus his insightful lyrics of imagery and vision paint the reality of the world with great conviction. Mandy Lion single handedly started a Metal vocal revolution which has ultimately spawned such popular bands as White Zombie, Korn, Disturbed, Pantera, Static X, as well as countless others. They even made a movie about him... Mandy is the real live Van Helsing come to life and so much more than the movie could ever be!-Jeff Burkhardt

GABBRIEL's BEAUTIFUL BIG SISTER, PANDORA
Motorcycles... I love them... I used to ride Harleys but was always bothered by their lack of power. No matter how much work you put into it, there is only so much one can do with 2 small cylinders. This is why I decided to have a friend of mine build me the biggest, fattest, meanest, most powerful bike imaginable... After having experienced the "Phantom," My 600 horse power, 2000 pound V8 bike, I look at Harleys as beautiful pieces of art but do not ride them anymore. They just don't have the kind of power I am looking for in a motorcycle. The "Phantom" weighs 3 times as much as a Harley and has 10 times the power. After that, everything else is basically just a bicycle. SUPER HERO OR SUPER VILLAN?
Martial arts are a big part of my life because they teach you to be focused and enable you to create a reality in which defeat does not exist. Mind over matter... Quantum physics actually teaches that as well... I have a thing for the extreme... This also goes for the kind of women I like. I cannot stand average, conservative people that follow the path they have been programmed for. Life is too short to live by other people's rules... MANDY LION's TOTAL MYSPACE FRIEND COUNT
