Dale would like to thank:

God, the Creator of all, who knows when the sparrow falls and who knows the names of every galaxy in the Universe! What an awesome God we serve. Special thanks to Jesus Christ for taking my place on the cross and giving me eternal life. Grace is so wonderful, thank you Jesus!

My special thanks to Elizabeth Burton, a wonderful wife and dear friend who puts up with my antics, music, rattlesnakes, "cool creatures by the way", and all those Christmas lights that confuse the pilots who fly overhead at home. Most of all she has taught me so much about unconditional love and I'm very blessed to have such a beautiful wife, thanks honey!

To my Mom, Dad & my sister...thanks so much for putting up with the copious amounts of sound eminating from the back room!

Blessings and thanks to Justin for his friendship over the years and his love of heavy metal! May God keep you safe and bless your growing family. Great job on the website by the way. Thanks for helping out with those rattlesnake educational programs at the schools, and with the television stations here in town. May your music talents grow in the Lord as you learn to play on "eleven"!

To Steve Slack who works up a sweat on the drums at practice to please me! Ha! Ha! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. May you also be lead by the Spirit to find the best wings in town! Thanks for keeping me awake when I look tired!

Long time thanks goes out to Amy Schugar. Been a close and great friend since 1982 and a musical inspiration. Good luck on the Michael Schenker tour dear, you are such a great guitar player and thanks for being my friend all these years.

A big THANK YOU to Janice Sweet and the guys in STRYPER. God bless you all and thank you for the great times and memories. Hey Michael, can I have that Les Paul back you bought in Flagstaff? :)

And thanks to the many musicians who the Lord has placed in my life as inspirations over the years, plus it was so cool just meeting these guys! George Lynch, KISS, Sean Delaney, Rob Halford, Alice Cooper, Michael Schenker, Jake E Lee, and that's a small sample. 80's Metal still kicks! Bring on the Euro Metal, these guys just rip for 2000 and beyond!

And thanks to those who visit this website. May God bless you and keep you healthy for His service.

Justin would like to thank:

God, for the love, mercy and compassion that He just keeps giving. The blessings are just too many to count and would take way more space than we have on this site. Father, just remember, when I get down on the list to "the air I breathe", I'll have just about hit all of them. Thank you.

My beautiful bride Elizabeth, for the love, ongoing support and constant understanding of what it means to be a musician's spouse...do you know the UPS guy by name by now?!?! I love you terribles!

Bob, for the headbutts and hugs, for making me laugh and keeping me on my toes ALL THE TIME! I love you more than you'll ever realize girly girl.

Carson, for making me realize that sleep is waaay overrated. I love you my boy.

All my friends & family who continue to support the project(s!). Mom & Dad for the beginnings of GEAR-hood! :) Thanks for turning the other ear as I tried to learn what the heck I was doing! Steve-lo...much grass for the recording expertise and mentorship...and especially for not letting me change my rig again! And Funky Jughead Brother deserves thanks too for simply being a Funky Jughead Brother. Hey, didn't you say you were going to be my roadie? Sean, thanks much for the practice spaces, prayers and all around friendship...you so totally rock dude!! El Wardo...you da man for putting through the paces of GIT without the GIT tuition!!! Raucous man! When's the barbeque? Can I have that Soldano now???? :D

Special props to the brothers on the Web - Ultmetal, Kmorg, Arttie, MetallinosTheos, EndlessFuneral, Soldiers Under Command, Tall Tyrion, Most of you I've Never met face to face but it's all good! Always enjoy chatting!

Gary @ Noteworks, great gear, great prices...Pullano's Pizza & Wings for ending my search for the best wings in town...Precision Guitar Works...Lincoln Heights...

A special thanks goes out to my brothers Dale, Steve & Brian.
It is an absolute blessing to know guys who not only share my love of music, but also my love of the Lord. It is an honor to play and pray with you guys.

Steve would like to thank:

GOD - for His Son Jesus, His incredible grace, and the MANY blessings He gives.

My wife Tracy - her support for me and this project is a true blessing which strengthens me. Her smile makes the world brighter!

My family for putting up with all the noise that came out of the garage when they were trying to relax and watch TV.

Thank you Justin and Dale. Your words of insight and friendship encourage me to be a better man of God and a better musician.

Many Thanks to Justin...the website looks great!
