Great news! Congrats guys. You deserve it. I'll definitely be watching.
If you do decide to do a full tour next year, please don't forget the prairie provinces. In particular Regina Saskatchewan. I've been waiting so long. I'll be first in line for tickets. I've seen every show of yours here and would love to see it again. I've never stopped listening to your music. I know you can still rock. If the Stones still can so can you.
Thank you and good luck!

Soooooo well deserved after all these years.  I'm now 45 yrs old.  Saw you guys when I was 18.  One of my 1st Rock concerts.  Would definately love to see you guys again in Minnesota or North Dakota.  I'm only 30 minutes from the Canadian border.  What fond memories when your Allied Forces album was released in '81!  You guys *ROCK*
