    Got to meet Midnight at a sound check with my 15yo son last year. Super nice guys and even asked him “what song do you want to hear?”. They played him All Hail Hell, per his request. The term, never meet your hero’s, doesn’t apply to these guys. He’ll never forget it. Thanks Midnight!

There was all kinds of stuff, but the ones I still remember were the Venom: Nightmare disc and two or three of those Samantha Fox ones, which are really nice to look at.
