    Joel is such a first class act, humble and one hell of a nice gentleman. He can play with anyone and I firmly believe that! He was a perfect fit for Accept and it definitely showed with his performance. His playing just memorizes me and I never get tired of listening to his music no matter what he plays. Thank you Joel for making my life so enjoyable!

      You are not wrong. It will be interesting what will come up for him. If Whitesnake happens again it will probably be for a short while to finish off the farewell tour. That means there will be time for new projects for Joel.

    I first heard Tytan almost 40 years ago and bought Rough Justice at an import record store in Shinjuku. The reason I bought it was probably because of the cool jacket. When I listened to it, the NWOBHM vibe was so good that I still listen to it today. At that time, Tytan was not introduced on the only heavy metal radio program or magazine in Japan. I had no fans around me, and I thought I would never have a chance to see Tytan live because there was very little information about them for 40 years. So I couldn't believe that they came to Japan this time. I still dream about the fact that I went to that concert. I couldn't believe that I met so many Tytan fans at the show. Kevin was in tears of joy at the chants welcoming Tytan. Thanks for a great night.

      Unlikely. I was part of the team that put the shows together and we hoped to record all three bands on both nights but we never managed to put an agreement together. It was filmed with two cameras, so some better footage should surface at some point...
