SAVATAGE / DOCTOR BUTCHER / TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery has issued the following update:

"Hi all!

Had a great time last night at the Metal Church - Overkill show in NYCity. Tons of friends in the building. Great to see Jeff with the guys. Blitz was amazing as usual! Gotta love an Overkill show in NYCity.

A few things to touch base on...

#1 - Fan club issues. I still hear that there are lots of people who have not received all of the items they were promised. I asked people to e-mail me directly on this matter. Talking amongst yourselves and placing blame is nothing I can stop, but I still think you need to know few things. I was unaware of many of these situations. I had sent money from my pocket to cover items that were supposed to be shipped. I have not made a dime from the club and have like I said spent money on trying to make things right. So...here is what I can do. If you still have an issue and are missing things email me and let me know. I will either refund you your money for the missing item/s immediately or determine if the amount of money is equal to that of the price of the new CD. I will send you the CD when I get copies to sell here. This whole situation was and is very embarrassing to me. This is why there is no new fan club sturcture even being discussed now. Until this is solved and everyone is settled I will not move forward on this matter. Once again, I am very sorry for this and will do whatever it takes to make sure each person gets what they paid for.

#2 - Many people have been making notes about me and the lack of a logo on my CD. Well, as I have said I did not like anything I had enough to put it on the CD. Anything I saw took away from Seth's art! SO!!! I am encouraging anyone with logo ideas to send them to me or post them in the graphic hounds forum. If there is a logo I would like to use it will wind up on the US release of the CD!

#3 - My new photos are copyrighted and are not to be used anywhere for any reason without permission. Please email me if you would like to use them. Please be aware that places like My Space you cannot use copyrighted photos without permission. This can and WILL terminate your account there so please do the right things with stuff that you do not own or have permission to use.

Back to work, my interviews start tomorrow. I am really excited to begin talking about the new CD."

Peace
