David

would have to be Mike Myers... yeah baby

Somewhere on the net there is a video of Burt teaching a small group of young adults: discussing his style and the reasons for doing what he does... he holds them spellbound. I think it was recorded about the time "Painted from Memory" was released... I could be wrong. I tried to find it b...

From what i hear, the band is having a blast on the tour, and they were so well received in Norway, that a return visit is highly likely... but the moderators of this group will have to get the "official word"

How tall is Burt? about the same height as Martin Sheen and John Cho... and i can prove it.
David

Yes: Ms. Eliza will be on the tour. If I could go, I would try the concert in Sicily which is going to be in an ancient amphitheatre. Ms. Eliza was going to have a tryout with Metallica (some difference in style huh?) as an "extra" in Belgium before the tour, but the music industry is fick...
