Welcome to FAN OF THE MONTH!

The November FAN OF THE MONTH goes to a long time board member, a huge fan, and wonderful person... its JACK!!!! pika  pika pika :)  Congrats Jack!!!!   HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are you and where are you from?  

Well who am I... sometimes I’m still trying to figure it out my self. But hey I’ll try to introduce my self. My real name is Jake but, I prefer Jack.

So I am 28 years old and, I was born on the 12 Feb 1975 in Antwerp – Belgium. I am not married yet, still single... but hope to get married soon.   I used to work in several industry; administration, banking, insurance, and now I work in the Diamond sector. Will see where it’ll bring me.

A little about yourself (work, intrests, etc):
I am a very quiet person, I never really talk a lot, but I like to listen. For the moment my interest goes to the study of Languages like, Chinese and Japanese. I have lots of interest for ancient civilization, believes and myths.  From time to time I still take the time to play on my old red Ibanez, ( Guitar ) but I don’t have the talent to write songs lol.

I love to read but, unfortunately these days I don’t have lots of time.  My favorite writers are “Dante” and “Ovid”; specially Dante, I can recognize my self in his writing. My favorite book is “Vita Nuova”.

I also love to travel, I’m planning some day to go to Japan and, travel all across the country. I also LOVE America, I think it’s such a great country; there are so many interesting things to see and to do.

Oh I do like Pizza ! But I think you already knew that.

When did you first hear LAG?
Well I had seen the CD lying in a store, but didn’t really know what type of music it was. ( I think that It was in 1988.) Its then a few days later that I had learned that it was the band from the original guitarist from Guns ‘n’ Roses. So I immediately went to purchase it and, since than It’s my dope :p I just love Phil’s voice, he is really amazing and, I just love the lyrics too.

Your fav LAG album and why?
Well “Vicious Circle” I remember a little story about that one. At that time I was learning to polish diamonds. (oops forgot to mention that ) Not far from it you had a little record store in a basement.  They used to have tonz of great CDs.  Since the day LAG had mention that they were about to record a new album, I went almost every day to that store to ask; “When is the new LAG coming... When is the new LAG coming...” and that for weeks. The guy went crazy...  I remember then several weeks later entering the store... and the clerk was staring at me shaking a little... and he turned his face towards the wall across the store. You had written in Huge on a paper on the wall “NEW LAG” with a huge arrow pointing to a tiny little CD. ( It was meant for me )

But anyway I think it’s a great album, you have so many different styles in it. It’s totally different from the other albums. All the albums kind of have one direction, but not that one. You can hear that all the song where really study till the last point before being recorded.

Your fav LAG song and why?
I cannot really answer to that one, there’s too many of them... I think it’s depending of my mood. But I love “Face Down”.

And memorible LAG moments?
I never had the opportunity to see them live but, I’ve met Tracii twice in LA. He was so friendly. It was really cool to be hug by Tracii in front of everybody and he called me his Brother ;o)

Other favorite bands, songs etc.
Well I love The Dogs D’amour, Faster Pussycat, Poison, well I think you can say all the old Dinosaur glam bends lol.  And anything side band from Phil, still waiting for something new from  The Liberators.

Any last words:
Just wanted to thank all the peoples from the forum for always being there, to care and to be real friends to me. Specially the one I know for already years ;o) I love you guys. And of course I wanna thank LAG, Cherie and Flynn for all their patience.

This is Lilith, it's a she. She likes to steal pencils, she always have to chew the cable from the Telephone. Her speciality is to throw things from the table on the floor. She likes to stalk me all over the house. Actually the name that would fit the best to her is "Cat a strophe." But she is so cute.
