Hey guys, just stopping by to show some love to your page! I love your Jackson's cover, to me is the best ever.. Great tribute. M.Jackson 1958-2009 (R.I.P.)
Se tra un anno -o quando sarà- venisse organizzato un concertone mondiale in memoria di Re Michael, spero proprio che ci sarete pure voi sul palco, perché la vostra versione di Beat It è semplicemente meravigliosa...e son convinta che sia piaciuta pure a lui! :D
You guys really rock! I found you on you tube with Rolling Changes. Very cool song. And I also like the the Beat It cover. When will you guys be in Germany?
