Steve Perry does have a great voice and his replacement, Arnel Pineda is amazing as well! I can't believe how much he sounds like Steve! I do remember Billy Squier and still hear his music on the radio station we listen to. That is cool you have Ozzy's autograph! I am not into his music but he is funny!
I met Pantera but never was a fan, not knocking the music, I just wasn't into them. A few of my friends were huge fans and we went to a mall for autograph's in the early 80's. It was before they became big and we were the only ones there at that time to get an autograph! Lol! I didn't even know who they were at the time but I still have all their autographs. My friends got to know them and even got to know Poison and hung out backstage with them when they came in town. Currently a few of my friends hang out with Vinnie Paul of Pantera from time to time at the clubs around here. They have pictures posted on facebook with him. I went to a lot of concerts in the 80's but never joined my friends to any backstage events, I had a boyfriend at the time and not sure I should be hanging out with those guys for the wild parties! :lol: They met other bands as well, Kiss, Bon Jovi and more but only got to know Poison and Pantera personally.
All during that time during "hair band" days I was always a die hard Beatles fan! I liked quite a few bands then but don't listen to them that much these days. Still listening to the Beatles though!
