	I read your comment before watching the video and was expecting a Jon Olivia-esque increase in weight... Gallagher's size is considered fat nowadays? Yikes.

	>>Where is Wacko?<< Wacko is busy recording top 40. The truth finally came out: he single-handedly destroyed RAVEN during the Atlantic run. Keep him away at all cost. >>Damn the guitar player got fat<< It's amazing he's there at all... He almost died a few years ago. He may be a bit bulky but he's not fat. >>Saxon should take these guys out<< Forget Saxon, Lars should take these guys out on a Metallica tour and repay the favor that's long overdue. The Kill Em All For One tour arguably started Metallica on the road to their destiny.

	Hope there will be a U.S. release date.

	COMMENT \| About time... posted by : epac 3/25/2009 9:49:19 PM

	...I was starting to wonder what happened, we've been hearing about a new album for awhile. Then again, in the digital download age, Raven are a band with (obviously) limited means...they never got to open for Metallica on a stadium tour. Unlike Limp Bizkit, who clearly deserved Metallica's support... I saw them in Staten Island several months ago and even though it was a tiny crowd, they played as though it was 5000 people. I'd like to see some bigger names do that... Not sure what happened in the mid 80's (i.e. - sellout albums Stay Hard + Pack is Back). Maybe it was Wacko's fault, maybe they all agreed on commercial direction...who knows? Long live this great band, may they finally see some (long overdue) success.

	GREATEST BAND EVER
