I'm a fan (and you should be too) because I understand what they mean about feeling "alone" in their songs (as I have not had a girlfriend ever), and I've felt that way alot in these past few years. Their songs help me get through that feeling sometimes especialy "Time Of Dying". I am also a big fan of them becsause they really do rock!! I always tell everyone that they are my favorite band obviously because they are and one of my friends tell me to shut up whenever I talk about them because he fed up of hearing how good they are LOL.
