I’m not going to let you kill my thread, **Ich Bin’s** … simply because I can’t find a band that starts out with an exclamation point… Color Me Badd ---

Sorry, Flamsterette\_X; didn’t mean to almost kill it, and spent some time last night looking for bands with an exclamation point to make sure I wouldn’t. Unfortunately, all the bands whose name starts with an exclamation point have a name that ends with an exclamation point. So, thanks for bypassing. So, on with the show… **Dazzling Killmen** ---
