Quotes Ladies and gentlemen, from the United States of America, all hail Manowar Orson Welles, live show intro I believe in the fans, I believe in metal more than anybody you've ever met. And you've known me a long time. I've never pissed on you even though you constantly do it to me. And I don't stab the fan in the back. And another thing, I'm prepared to die for metal. Are you?

Joey DeMaio in the Magic Circle Music website. This is not Iron Maiden. This is not Judas Priest. This is not fucking Metallica. This is Manowar! Joey DeMaio, during performance in Moscow's DS Luzhniki, April 7, 2007. It's a shame that future musicians growing up now are being influenced by trash; it's really upsetting.

He who refuses to take part in modern mediocrity will forever stand alone, an outcast. He is the bringer of change, changes that instill fear in all who go with fashion's flow.
