Marty, i just want to say you have been a major influence in my playing since 'Dragon's Kiss'. I live in Brazil and play guitar since 1987. I even learned (by ear) the solo from 'Tornado of Souls'- my cover band in 1992 used to play the song. If you have time, go listen to my music at www.mp3.com/marcusdemorais. And you 'FANS': STOP COMPARING MARTY TO OTHER PLAYERS, LIKE SCOTT HENDERSON, AL PITRELLI, ETC. There's no sense in trying to irritate Marty like you do! STOP!

Thanks for your letter Marcus, I appreciate what you wrote. However comparison is inevitable so we just have to accept it, it`s not a big deal.
