Some of you guys may have heard about a little musical project between some of the VVF members here called The Great Trans-Atlantic Sister Exchange. Here are some emails I have been recieving from fans around the country.1. Sixteen year old Leo Bloome from Buffalo NY writes, "I love you guys so much. You are so heavy. FUCK!!! you are HEAVY!!!! You are HEAVY AS FUCK!!!!!!! Well, I was just wondering if TGTASE could play at my high school prom on May 10. 2. Judith Templeton of Norman Oklahoma writes, "All of you guys are so incredibly sexy and good looking. I would sooooooo like to jump on your tour bus when it comes through Norman for the show on August 12(thank goodness my husband is going on a business trip that weekend). I still find it hard to believe that every member of your band looks like a supermodel. I love to crank your song, Put Your Rocket in my Crotch, in my headphones when I'm in bed late at night all covered in oil. That song gets me so HOTTTTTT!!!" Not all of the emails have been supportive of our creative efforts. Here is one that is a tad critical. From Gino Hogonetelli of NYC, "What a total arrogant bunch of fuckers you are!!! What kind of band puts out a greatest hits album as their second release????? You guys completely sold out!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw my favorite band being interviewed by Regis and Kathie Lee in Florida. You may all dress in black but you're still a bunch of posers. Bouncing a beach ball with Regis in the hotel pool. WTFFFFFFF???? And why the hell have all the members dyed their hair blonde??? What the hell is that??? So there you have it....I guess you can't please everybody. Our tour starts in late April. Personally I think the entire band is most looking forward to the stop in Norman in August. Peace out!!

Yeah, thats true mez. i have been way out of touch, since this board opened, i have moved 2 times, once because of some dickhead roommates, and now currently where i reside. Only since about 4 weeks ago, when i changed jobs, i took a self allotted, 3 week vacation, and then i found myself back on the boards. Also before it all started for me (online fourms) only about 2yrs ago, when i first registered at yuri's site. Well before that, i was outta touch with the scene for almost 6yrs, living deep in the woods with no internet connection. But Im Baaaakk! now with some reinvigorated excitement about the whole thing, and feeling ive missed out too. shit i kinda even want to grow my hair again ! Richmond V.A. hits pretty close to home, i have a few old friends i am trying to get togeather with so i can be re-turned-on to the scene. Currently working on getting togeather and hitting the Norfolk VoiVod show with em, mabye well stop in on TGTASE show also. note:
Work sucks! last 7yrs ive worked my ass off, to return to find everyone has moved and shit.

---From Blabbermouth.net---***TGTASE PRESS RELEASE*** To ALL of our dear fans of ALL ages, we are deeply saddened to inform you that the European "Grab Your Freind's or Yourself with Us If You're Lonely Tour" is TEMPORARILY post-poned due to Global Turmoil. We can't take the chance of flying overseas, and our drummer has a secret (OOPS) addiction to over-the-counter cough syrup and Toys-R-Us catalogs which needs to be addressed immediately like any illness should be. We are sure that most of you can relate in some way or another. However to make it up to all the fans who have stuck to us over the years, we will be releasing a five DVD set of ALL of our backstage antics and a SPECIAL concert which will be recorded LIVE in our garage!!!!!! It will only be available to YOU the FANS who are members of our CLUB 'If You're Wet Spot Could Feel Me Now' (which is $100 anually with a diurnal fanzine release). Once again we apologize but don't forget you can always come to the States and see us! XXX-OOO Say no to drugs
----------------------------- Man I feel sorry for anyone associated with this 'outfit' and those of of you in Europe.

I'd like to address some of the issues that have been brought to my attention by some of you recently. Although the songs on our first album were pretty thought-provoking tunes, we never wanted to be the great poets our fans made us out to be. Sure I admit that the creation of Put Your Rocket was a stroke of artistic brilliance. But penning a great song like that(our breakthrough single-it spent 16 weeks at the top of the charts in Germany and Japan, until the new David Hasselhoff album came along), came with a great price. We moved to Hollywood where the drugs began to take their toll.[note to our younger fans: Kids, just say NO]My glue habit, the Noitall knows everything, had made me search the streets for money. Yes, that was when Loverboy approached me to be a butt-double for the Get Lucky album. What can I say, I was young and naive and also needed the cash for the glue. I don't know how they even recognized me with the dress on. Must have been the Manowar shirt I had on top. I can tell you one thing, being a butt-double in Hollywood is not everything's its cracked up to be. I guess when I survived my overdose and woke up in the hospital, that was a sign. The vice-president of our record company was at my bedside as I woke and told me he had a great plan for the second album. Why not save some recording dollars and just put out a greatest hits album? He even promised an appearance on Regis's show. I told him that our hardcore fan base would probably be against such a move. His answer, "Who gives a shit about a bunch of snotty-nosed teenagers? What we need to do is capitalize on the midwest market!" So this was how the idea came up to cover the George Jones classic and add it as bonus track on the greatest hits. I was reluctant until he gave me that timeshare to his condo in Key West. Course the rest of the band didn't know this. And the rest, as they say is history........

Heeeey, wait a minute! I checked my "Greatest Hits" CD ten times today and it has no George Jones cover!!! What the hell... Wait. Oh, I see. Buy the first version, then buy the digipack with the bonus song, then buy the CD-Extra... Mercenaries!!!  (angry again!)
