Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that Dane, Basse, and the Angra vocalist ARE cheap ripoffs of Dickinson and Halford. On the contrary, I havn't heard them at all, that's why I didn't mention them. Yeah, Hansi is no legend, that's for sure. But BG are pretty popular in Europe. How many people did they pull for BG fest back in 2002 (or was it 03??). I don't know, but on that DVD it looks like the crowd isn't too much smaller than the Rock In Rio DVD (hahaha I'm probably really wrong about this, I have no numbers in my mind for either gig). But yeah Dickinson and Halford =

Dickinson has had headlining pulls (without even Maiden) that drew tens of thousands. BG's biggest pulls have been in Europe at festivals, which they weren't the exclusive headling draw (often there were more than 20-30 major bands on those fests). You may have heard those guys:

Warrell Dane = Nevermore (and formerly, the amazing Sanctuary when he had more range)

Henning Basse = Metalium (he's the best part of the band, check out the song 'Steel Avenger' with its chorus crescendo...he is sick and nearly popped my ears and windows when I first cranked that)

If I'm ever online AIM me at Necroletariat I can give you any samples your heart desires.
