Message From Chuck Schuldiner
Here is a message from Chuck Schuldiner, of Death and Control Denied:
I want to thank everybody for your much appreciated words of support from all over the world, it has been immensely welcomed. I also want you to know that I'm finally making good progress on the road to recovery. I was able to begin the new treatment of chemo that has really made the difference, and for that I thank Chuck Billy and his wife for their great generosity in sharing the benefits from the concert and the fans and friends who were there to make it all possible. I am looking forward to seeing you in the not too distant future. And remember, support music, not rumors!!!! Chuck
As always, our best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery go out to Chuck!

P.O.D. most assuredly rock, but they want to distance themselves from their metal compatriots by being a positive band. "We're not saying 'F you' or 'Put your middle finger up,'" singer Sonny Sandoval says. "We're starting to put up our pinkies now, just to be different."
Well with that kind of attitude, I don't think we can cover them any more...
