Absolutely a given as a fan as far as I'm concerned too Becks! I think it's very important to support the bands that you love because if you don't, they may not be around long. Besides, you can't get an illegal download autographed now can you??? Although I heard Ripper once say that someone gave him a downloaded CD to sign. Jesus, now that takes some balls doesn't it? My sons think it's really cool that we have gotten some of our old LPs that we had as kids autographed and they want to be able to do the same thing. Parents set the biggest examples for their kids and ours see us buying CDs all the time, not stealing it. When we talk about it, they both think it's really wrong and even say "How does the band make any money then?"
I still can't believe how unbelievably cool Drowning Pool was! 11 years old and my son got on their tour bus!!! I've NEVER been on a tour bus and I don't think I ever will be. I was at home with our youngest son. Here's a picture of them
That's awesome HRMG! I think that buying the CDs to support your favourite bands is so so important. I ALWAYS buy my CDs, to me it's a given as a fan.

I agree Hellrider! My almost 12 year old asked for various metal CD's for Christmas and then he used his Christmas money to buy more! When his dad took him to see Drowning Pool, they did the meet and greet with them and my son got to go on their tour bus with them! He was in heaven and just took everything in. When Mark pulled out all their CD's for them to sign, he saw the reaction of the band and how much they appreciated the fact that we BOUGHT all their stuff. The ENTIRE band signed every single CD booklet AND the CD itself. He wants the CD's to look at the art and lyrics. He even gave his little brother the Painkiller CD for Christmas! So MY little metalheads will be keeping the metal faith alive and BUYING the music that they love

With Priest the Scorpions and maybe Iron Maiden ready to call it a day,is this another nail in the coffin for Trad Metal? who will be next to bow out of the world of Heavy Metal ... Sabbath ? Ozzy, AC/DC ? Metallica ?
all these bands have seen better days and none can top anything that they have done in the past so....are we soon to see to end of 'metal' as we know it??
This along with the Death of the 'Great' Ronnie James Dio leave's me worried for the future of our beloved style of music....
