Sad news. One of my all time favourite bands.

Best wishes for him.

I wish and his family the best. Tough diagnosis.

That sucks.

For a sec, i thought i had read Al Atkins.

Terrible news. Wishing him the best.

That really sucks, hope for the best. My dad's lung cancer came back and they had to increase his treatments. Lost all his hair and his fingernails, but he is clear once again so it is possible.

I am going on going on 5 years cancer free myself.

Thanks everyone! Haven't been around here much in the last few years so this is the first time many of you are hearing about my dad's cancer. Gilbert and Exact, glad you guys are no longer suffering with it and I hope it never comes back.

So happy for you too!  Glad to know there is hope.

My dad beat cancer 15 years ago.  But nothing  will take him out.  Turns 88 in November..

He cuts around 8 cotds of wood a year. Stacks  it etc. He is out every  morning  working on there acre  of land.  Crazy? He is the  man of steel, Or should I say Metal \m/

Can't  imagine  not having him around.

Okay, Take care  my Metal brother's

That's cool about your dad! I hope my father's doesn't come back again . However, with stage 4 lung cancer you never know. Right now unfortunately he's dealing with bursitis in his shoulder and an unknown arm pain but he is a tough man and a fighter. Even before the cancer he lost his leg and the use of the other after being run over by a semi truck about 10 years ago but fought through it with a smile on his face and a positive outlook and has done the same with the cancer.

He's metal .

Ronnie has released a new song:

I so easily recall as a metal teen.....
listening to a late night college radio metal show....
“ Red Hot and Heavy “ song was played. That was it.
I turned metal. 1984. I recorded the entire show on cassette tape.
I never heard outrageous lyrics and raspy vocals like that before.
Took me a while to find the album. I found the EP. Wow !
To me.....that song.....is as classic as Balls to the Wall.
The EP was wild and great too.
