See…you shouldn’t toy with the affections of people who love your music…they will react like homicidal lovers. They will set u on fire...followed shortly by:
Heavy metal is supposed to represent a spirit of rebellion and independent expression but it seems like you expect less from your fans.Allow me to say: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
