Thanks for posting this recounting Brian. Its good to see some truth about this band come out. If you read the history of the Silos as its posted on some sites, youd never know we were even there. Im looking forward to part 2. The following comment was posted on my Facebook page by Bob Rupe.

Brian, I have a very good memory about the Silos and it is finally time to tell the their story (at least the years and the part of story that I took part in) now! It is a story that is both glorious and tragic with characters and events that your won't have to be a Silo's fan or even know a thing about the Silos or the music business to appreciate... See More. It's finally time to set the record straight and to hell with bruised egos, fake history and wondering about retribution for telling the truth in a business that is famous for real and imagined retribution for telling the truth, the ugly truth. Fuck all that noise. Nobody escapes the beauty or the ugliness. Not even me. Names will be named. Some people will be pissed off. To them I say look in your heart and the mirror for the truth and then go fuck yourself: (Richard "where's my 20% Grabel, Esq. comes to mind) - one of the most vile bloodsuckers on the planet. Some will be delighted. To them I say "thanks for the memories." Your presence made a difficult time less difficult. God Bless You: (Jim Johnson - a force of nature and Joe Chininci - soundman/technician extroadinaire) to name a few for now. I am just getting started. Stay tuned.

I'm glad you can now see it from another perspective. In part 3 I'll be writing about our live shows, of which you were a huge part. I'd love to include some of your memories too.

There is a lot that finally makes sense for the first time. Thanks for the insight. Where's PART II? I'm waiting patiently.
