Thanks my man. Back at ya boss. Between seeing Wallace pulverize Great Britain's tyranny & listening to that song, one can't help but be driven to plunder, pillage, & place a foe's head on a spike just because it's Wednesday night & Preseason Football games haven't aired yet on NFL Network. 

I bet your Mel Gibson accent is spot on too Lolly.  One of the best films ever made. Fire, steel, stone...And then, the English do something beyond the pale & slice the throat of Wallace's love of his life. Uh oh...Now, William is very, very angry with you & when William gets upset heads literally roll. Exactly man, BraveHeart is a great picture. I always knew you had superb tastes. 

I just found it ironic that after watching the final act of William Wallace on screen, a band called "Unleash The Archers" happens to be on my You Tube account page. I figured it was a good omen man. LOL!

Yeah, the lead singer Brittany Hayes does have some nice pipes indeed along with more than a few other pleasant features no doubt. She can spin her long hair around in the ultimate head banging mode. I'm always amazed when an incredible voice comes out of a person you could bump into at the grocery store just running ordinary errands. And then she opens her mouth, sings a couple of stanzas/verses...And you wonder how in the hades did she pull that off? Darn. Okay, you say darn because she's so easy on the eyes at first. Then, she blows you away with her voice & you say darn once again. Followed by the silent thought--I wonder if she's single or not? As my old man always says, "You stop looking when you die." 

Yeah, Brittany Hayes is pretty hot even just chilling away from the stage or on tour during her downtime before she sings for her supper.  

She has a natural beauty about her. Like somebody who works as a CPA, librarian, or even school teacher who just happens to entertain for a living. 

Anyhow, I've babbled on long enough.  Take Care buddy. And don't forget to yell Bike! every now & then just to keep your technique fresh & new. 

So many sports pundits think both the Colts & Luck are finished. Well, as Wallace would say, "Well that's something we shall have to remedy isn't it?" Abso-bloody-Loot- Ly. 

Unleash the archers! Killer name boss! 

My buddies and I were waiting at a concert once and the place wouldn't open the doors on time, and the crowd started to get rowdy, and I yelled out TODAY......WE FIGHT FOR HONOR!!.......HOLD!! HOLD!! We all were cracking up pushing on the doors. They opened them immediately! 

Oh man Brittany....boing!!!   

You're right man, she is naturally beautiful. Plus she can sing? Double boing! 

That's what I like about you Lolly. You can play along with my foolishness [William Wallace banter] & roll with it even further--"We fight for Honor" comic rant. You have clout, reverence, & sway buddy. A natural born leader. Cool story.

You'd be a great dude to see a concert with because you knock kick caboose metal & rock n roll. Plus, you formed a few bands too so, you get both sides of it: how to entertain a crowd & give them good musicianship on top of it. I also know you appreciate all genres too. Not just hard & heavy stuff. Musicians are typically well adjusted dads too. Great for raising kids with a sarcastic sense of humor. 

Yeah, Brittany Hayes even looks hot in glasses...Going for the naughty intellectual look. Beauty, braun, & brains: A lethal combination. 

I will leave you with UTA's other most memorable single: 'The Matriarch.'

Not as good as 'Apex' that's true. However, still ominous, menacing, & stuff that makes your parents wonder if you're going off the deep end like good metal is supposed to. 

A fan on their You Tube page with the call sign: Baby With A 6 pack wrote: 

"Where's my horse, sword and armor? I must feast on the blood of my enemies!!.. also,. has anybody seen my falcon?" LOL! 

They also wrote a decent song called "Test Your Metal" when they were perfecting their sound as a band. It was just at the point when UTA was about to breakout & become good. You can tell they had talent, but that hadn't learned how to craft a well known single yet like Metallica before "Master Of Puppets" was released. Not comparing the 2 bands or claiming Unleash The Archers will reach the same plateau BTW. I just mean that UTA keeps getting better with each new album. They evolve. 

You can tell that Brittney is legit, her supporting cast is darn good, & her voice is no studio gimmick. 

Take Care Brother. This is the kind of metal I grew up on. Hard, heavy, & real. 

MJ, the King Of Pop, lays down the classic "Billie Jean" below. 

Chris Cornell shows us all how to make a signature track his very own. Is there anything this man couldn't do? My God man! Unbelievable...

The song "Apologize" originally done by One Republic has been covered a lot, which tells you how good a track really is...

Here's my personal favorite straight out of Germany from a band called All Ends. The dual female vocalist treatment gives it some teeth. My kinda jam baby. 

Country singer Luke Bryan also lays down a decent version of this number as well. [Not displayed here.]

Everybody has heard the GNR original, therefore, let's change things up a bit with a speak easy jazzy version sung by Casey Abrams instead just for fun shall we...

Checkout a band called Thunder & Rain dropping "Sweet Child O' Mine" Bluegrass style on ya. Not bad. 

 Checkout this amateur band doing a pretty darn good cover of Pure Prairie League's 'Amie.' 

Their name is Foxes & Fossils. Cute. 1 of the best live versions I've ever heard. 

It takes a minute or 2 to get started, but it's well worth the wait. Seriously, I'm very impressed. 

One last one before I wrap it up for now, here we have the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic 'Simple Man.' 

A woman named Kappa Danielson drops a gorgeous acoustic track of this remarkable song. 

Darn lady you have a gift. Amazing! 

Take your whiskey home is one of my favorite by VH.....I think it is more about alcoholism and how it affects our loved ones.  Just my perspective...doesn't make it correct?

Blackfoot's "Train Train" is one heckuva great tune as well.

Thanks for the tunes man and it was nice to see Chrissy again!

I think of you often and everything you've gone through.   Hugs, my friend.  

"She'll make your heart break
She'll give you fever
She'll tell you everything but don't believe her
A perfect stranger
She knows the game
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her" 

It's a little rough around the edges, but has a gritty charm to it. Never heard "Rock Me Like A Hurricane performed by a female lead vocalist before. It gives new meaning to the lyrics: 

"My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?"

Meow. I mean, not bad...The band is called Kings & Queens BTW.

I always liked them....I remember watching a video back in the 80's of one of their concerts.  They rattled out a bunvh of German words...then quickly said..."There's no one like you" and proceeded to sing it in English.

Love Ronnie James Dio. 

I seen him live on his 'Master of the Moon' tour and despite playing on a small stage, he was incredible. One of the best Metal shows I ever seen. I think he was in his late 50's at the time, but no one could really tell. Dare I say he put up a better show at that little club than when I seen Ozzy on a big arena stage....

No apology needed my friend. Keep up the good work. As really you are a caring and understanding person my friend. Thanks a lot and always will.
