HEY MARTY
HOPE MY MAIL FINDS YOU WELL.
I 'VE SENT YOU A MAIL ONCE BUT U DIDN'T ANSWER (DON'T APOLOGISE, I KNOW THAT U GET TONNS OF THEM)
I AM A BIG FAN OF YOUR GUITAR PLAYING (U R PROPABLY SICK READING THIS STUFF). I FIRST HEARD YOU IN RUST IN PEACE BACK IN 1990. I BELIEVE THAT MEGADETH AND TESTAMENT HAD THE BEST GUITAR WORK IN THRASH ZONRA.
I AM A BIG FAN OF MEGADETH. I SAW YOU PERFORMING LIVE IN GREECE WITH MEGADETH BACK IN 1997. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE SHOW AS MUCH AS I DID (GOD KNOWS HOW HIGH I WAS FLYING THAT DAY- I HAD A BIG FIGHT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT ME TO COME TO THE SHOW). I SAW MEGADETH IN 2001. I BELIEVE THAT AL CAN FIT WITH ALICE COOPER BETTER. HE REALLY SUCKED THAT DAY.
ANYWAY QUESTIONS
1) I AM READING DAVID ELLEFSON'S BOOK "MAKING MUSIC YOUR BUSINESS". I FEEL REALLY DISAPOINTED ND KIND OF SCARED OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS. I PLAY IN A BAND AND I AM REALLY THINKING THAT IT'S A DEAD END AS FAR AS IT GOES WITH SUCCESS AND BREAKING THROUGH. ANY ADVICES ABOUT THAT OR MAYBE COMMENTS ON MY THOUGHTS?
2) I AM A BIG FAN OF ALEX SKOLNICK (EX TESTAMENT) DIMEBAG DARREL (PANTERA) AND ZAKK WYLDE. WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ABOUT THEM?
3) DO YOU DIG GREEK MUSIC?
4) WHAT'S THE SECRET (IF THERE IS ANY-SOMETIMES I AM SURE THERE ISN'T ANY) I SHOULD FOLLOW TO BE A KILLER PICKER?
5)ANY CHANCE TO SEE YOU IN GREECE FOR A CONCERT OR CLINIC?
6) ANY COMMENTS FOR THE GREEK BABES? I KNOW YOU CAME ON SUMMER (LOT'S OF FLESH EXPOSED THIS SEASON HERE)?
KEEP ROCKING MARTY

First of all, I find it hard to believe that Al 'sucked' as you put it. He is a great player and maybe you were just hearing things a different way than you expected.
As far as David's book, anything you may have read there is good solid advice. There are no secrets to making it in music. You just give up everything else in your life, concentrate on making the best music you can, and hope for a little success along the way.
As far as Greek babes-they are gorgeous!!! I can't wait to go back!
