Heroes are hard to find -

The first hero I ever had has to be, without competition, Eddie van Halen. I've adored his work ever since I first saw Jump on the Coca Cola top 100 songs on MTV, might have been 91 or 92!?!? And ever since then I've been a fan of Van Halen music. During that time everybody was into Guns N' Roses, I like them to, but Van Halen was my first love and that will probably last a lifetime. Today 8 or 9 years later I still love their music, although I'm a bit disappointed with Gary Cherones effort on VH3. Right at this moment I have all Van Halens official records, all official videos, all David Lee Roth official solo records, 3 Sammy Hagar solo records and tons of bootlegs and live stuff on VHS. If one had to go through it all it would take a weekend at least. Im probably more of a David Lee Roth fan then anything else, but I dig Sammys VH work and still listen to them from time to time. I would love to see Sammy solo!!! Inconclusion my primary heroes are Van Halen, Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth solo, and I salute you all!

Second to them my hero is...

• Udo Dirkschneider!?!?! Man can this dude sing/scream. I've seen him 3 or 4 times with his band U.D.O and they are without a doubt a great live band. I salute you!!!!
• AC/DC's Angus Young & Brian Johnson, I've never seen you live, but a band this cool is very hard to find. During their 20+ carrier they've never produced something non-RNR! I salute you big time!!!!
• Judas Priset/with Rob Halford... this band was at times "the best" and Im feel sorry that I never seen them live in action. Im also sorry that they've gotten rid off olé NO. 1, Mr. Rob Halford... anyways... I salute you!!!!!!
• Kiss!!!! This have to be one of the coolest bands ever, I've been to one show and I had the time of my life. Allthough original Kiss is very cool, I think that Kulick-Kiss-era is even cooler. Im just sorry you let Bruce off... I wanted the best and I got the best, Kiss I salute you!!!!!
• Led Zeppelin!!?!?!?!? this is one of my absolute favorites, they'are simular to Van Halen in many ways. But I won't "ramble on" about them... Page/Plant/Bonham... I salute you!!!!!!!!

• ZZ Top?????? this little trio from little ol' Texas made quite an impression on me. I love Pauls playin style... I salute you!!!!!

Last but not least I ask myself the question, what would a world without heroes belike?
