About Me

"He wants to have himself made bigger until he weighs 32 stone, have steel rods inserted into his arms and wear iron decorations weighing 2 cwt. He has an iron machine, with which he is going to make himself 50 Negresses and he will always remain 42 years old; he will marry a 16-year-old countess with a dowry of 600 million marks, who has received a rose of chastity from the Pope. He has horses who eat no oats and a hundred golden castles with swans and with whales made of bullet-proof armour. He is a great inventor and has built a castle costing 100 million marks for the Kaiser, with whom he is on Christian name terms. He has received 124 decorations from the Grand-duke and gives every beggar in the country half a million marks. At the same time he has delusions of persecution. There have been five attempts on his life and every night two buckets of blood are drawn from his buttocks, which is why he is going to behead the attendants and have them torn to pieces by dogs; he is also constructing a steam-guillotine. He formerly played in God, Fence, Vapor Lock, Space Boy, the Champs, Bakamono(briefly) and Breakout, and appears on Oxbow and (Land of Thin)Dimes recordings. He now plays in Villains and XOM."

Return to Forever is the superior band

You can get their best album "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy"(!) for 6 and a half bucks at the Apple Itunes music store, and you definitely should, right away. No fusion band, except Mahavishnu of course ...
