coverdale just wanted to play music, so he could getting laid.

Hahaha thanks Eliminator! Yeah you got great music taste too! Sooooo you're a UFO fan? That's awesome! Those kinds of fans are so rare! So what do you think about the Paul Chapman era of UFO? Lots of people don't like it but if you listen to Chapman's stuff he's really good!

Well I'll get in contact with you!

Oh yeah and I've got to ask, do you like Dave in Metallica also? Or just his Megadeath stuff?

[Electriceliminator]

they said he was on Ride the Lightning  and that Megadeth's Mechanix was a remake of a Metallica song. But I've always prefered Megadeth to Metallica. Dave has better Vocals IMO. Nobody in their right mind could beat Schenker. but Chapman was good yeh.
