Haha!! Love this anecdote.

And I can see the appeal. This rocks hard! 🤘

I always love hearing it when theatrical bands like this don't take themselves too seriously. When you rock that hard and go that dark, it definitely borders on being absolutely ridiculous, but I love it, haha!

For a long time, I was kinda turned off by metal and 80's hard rock because it just seemed so over the top, but as I've gotten older my taste for it has grown because I do feel like a lot of the acts were in on the joke or at least knowingly leaning hard into the theatrics.

Haha, on another note, I just got the part where he's wailing "disease, disease, disease my friend" 😅 and abruptly, it slowed down to this beautiful, bluesy mellow guitar solo. This is great! 🙌
