 I did post this another thread but I thought it would be fitting for this one. I apologise because I hope it's not considered  spam. I just found out Major Dick Winters of Band of Brothers fame passed  away. It made me cry my eys out because my own GrandDad was a veteran of the Second World War. Anyhow just wanted to pay my respects.   Major Richard D. Winters. 1918 - 2011

@Eternal Servant.

I apologize. I just now realized I fucked up and saw that you were responding to a different post. I posted that list for all the members here
and some even appreciated it so you had no reason to rip me for it. Because of this I don't feel too bad about this but I don't want to carry it on.
I made a mistake and you're entitled to you're response but let's end it after that. I won't post after you again. Say what you will.

I'm being an ass like you are. When I first posted that list I posted for everyone not just myself. It was a legitimate post
and Eternal Servant had to be an ass and rip me for no reason. Even though I don't want to explain anything too you,
you took my last post wrong. That person gave you a thumbs up for calling me an fucking idiot. I posted a crying smily icon to 
sarcastically represent me being upset about it. Then I quoted my post with a laughing smily icon to represent that it really 
doesn't bother me at all. I keep posting pics out of the mag as a response to how you  and Eternal Servant  act towards me.
And in all honesty I very much appreciated the way you acted when my friend died and I wouldn't (whether in anger or not)
make fun of a grieving person. I even apologize to you or Eternal Servant if either of you you took it that way. (Seriously) 
I'll probably continue posting here and in Check This Out whether it bothers you or not. You guys don't mind bothering me and 
you started with me not the other way around. I even tried to call a truce and you just ripped me so  now if I continually act like 
an ass toward you, you know why. If it seems as though you stopped I will too.

Honestly, what are you doing? You don't care whether or not these people are alive or dead. Why are you laughing at a guy who one of his favourite guitarists has recently died and posting crap over his story. You didn't see me going when your friend died. I didn't say  "Oh, who fucking cares. Here's a list of a whole bunch of other people who are dead, get over it". Did I?

You understood my point. If someone, even one person, understands why I said it, I appreciate it.

About a few years after I got hooked on hard rock when I was a teenager,Gary's playing blew me away.
Alhough I really enjoyed bands with good looking dudesback in mid 80's, Gary was the only exception,being not so good looking,whom I really got to love and respect.
He was one of a few heroes of mine I was dying to meet. Luckily, I already met my  top 4 out of 5 favorites, RATT, John Sykes whom I met as a winner of contests, Glenn Tipton in '08 and finally the Metal God himself last year. It was so fortunate for me to have gotten the opportunities.
If I could've met Gary as far as hard rock- heavy metal world is concerned, I would've had no regrets. Now he's gone. One of my dreams won't come true.

When I was 18, I tried hard to encounter Gary so that I went to Roppongi Prince Hotel (now it's closed down) dressed as a non-metalhead and went into a restaurant hoping to see a glimpse of him. No Gary, but able to meet Neil Carter, former UFO member, who is a superb keyboard/guitar player.
He gave me his autograph. I even asked him to give Gary a present & letter. Looking back, it seemed rude of me for asking a favor like that.
Soon after at the lobby, his crew told me the day was Neil's B-Day. I rushed out of the hotel and ran to a nearby liquor store and bought a big bottle of Japanese sake.
I didn't look minor so that enabled me to buy it. Then headed back to the hotel, there he was at the lobby. I gave him the bottle and left there.
Besides him, there were Bob Daisley (ex- Ozzy Osbourne band) and Chris Slade (later AC/DC) looking at me like WTF?.   
I really wished to meet one of my favorite guitar heroes.

A month before Gary passed away, I was really starting to check him out on YouTube remembering old days, his shredding era, even found Neil Carter's website.

Gary was starting to play his hard rockin tunes these days so that I was really really looking forward to see his live again. 
I hope guitarists who look up to him understands how shocking it was to learn his passing. He wasn't just a guitarist, a legend who influenced even John Sykes.

This article tells about his girlfriend.
