“In this photo is myself (Danny G.) my wife Tricia G. and my son Silas G. at the Agora in Cleveland. We came to see you both nights (front row) and I would like to thank everyone that made our weekend so special.

Paul Clark Jr. gave us a stick friday afternoon in the parking lot, Eric threw sticks to my son on friday night until he was finally able to get one (thanks Eric that was awesome of you), Manoel for introducing us to Donnie, Donnie for taking the time out to talk with us for a moment (first time in my life that i have been star-struck), and to Joey for giving my son your pick and a bass string on saturday night.

It was a true climax to the entire weekend. We were all in tears during the Crown and the Ring saturday night. I expected to be impressed when I saw you guys but the shows you guys put on that weekend cannot be described well enough to do it justice. I have seen many bands but none have even come close to comparing to the Manowar shows I attended in Cleveland. Not Tool ,Ozzy ,Megadeth,Iron Maiden ,Black Sabbath,TSO,Motorhead,Testament,Bon Jovi (I took my wife) or Roger Waters.

I felt emotions I may never feel again in my lifetime. Thank you again, all of you , for giving us the greatest weekend we have ever spent together. We are waiting patiently for the next opportunity to see you all again. 500 miles, $500 worth of tickets and $500 worth of merchandise, but being there and being a part of the entire experience was absolutely priceless.

You have been my favorite band for almost 24 years now and I feel blessed that you are still going strong and that I was able to see you live and share it with my family. In our eyes you’re immortal and in our hearts you’ll live forevermore. You are truly the greatest band on Earth and it’s no wonder that you have the greatest fans on Earth.

Thank you again, your #1 fan,

– Danny G.
