I know this sounds crazy cause how long he's been around but I just can't believe it...

Man, this is depressing.

What a legend he is.

In The city of Fallen Angels, where the ocean meets the sand, you will form a strong alliance, and the world's most awesome band.

To find your fame and fortune, through the valley you must waaalk.

You will face your inner demons. Now GO MY SON and rooooock!

RIP Ronnie James and thanks for the music

When I was in Central America this was my Ranger Team's "pump up song." We used to play it really really loud, scream the lyrics and load our weapons in the hangar before heading out to the choppers for an insertion. We did some things that can be determined as good or bad depending on your personal take but we did them to the fullest.

These versus of this song still choke me up a bit because it's the ones we related to the most...

"We're off to the witch

We may never never never come home

But the magic that we'll feel

Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross

The throw before the toss

You can release yourself

But the only way is down

We don't come alone

We are fire we are stone

We're the hand that writes

Then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time

If we're evil or divine

We're the last in line

We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east

It's the angel or the beast

And the answer lies between

The good and bad

We search for the truth

We could die upon the tooth

But the thrill of just the chase

Is worth the pain...."
