THE ANNIHILATOR KILLER CONTEST - PRIZE PAGE 2

(Personal comments by Jeff Waters)

1 prize package. My good friend and Germany's Metal Queen, Doro Pesch, was honored (as I am to know her!) to offer something for one lucky metal fan: 1 autographed EP, 3 autographed promo cards and 1 1995 rare tour pass. Thanks Doro and keep on rockin' ! ! !

3 cds and 6 shirts. My great Swedish metal friends Joachim and Hammerfall are psyched to bring you metal fans some great prizes. The guys will send 3 winners a Special Edition (includes an inflatable "air" guitar), autographed copy of their "Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken" release AND 2 Hammerfall shirts (a Girlie "Hammerbabe-Access All Areas" shirt and a "Chapter V" tour shirt.) You rock guys and we all appreciate your presence here! See you again soon!

3 prize packages. Sweden's "The Haunted" rock. Annihilator singer Dave Padden and myself are big fans and we welcome these thrash/speed metal kings into this contest. Turns out they are big Annihilator fans so the respect is mutual; and to prove that to you, they are offering something very cool. 3 lucky winners will receive 1 autographed cd (their latest "Revolver"), 1 shirt AND 2 tickets to ANY "The Haunted" show in North America or Europe, in 2006. You are responsable for getting to the show. To really kick your a.s, they will also throw in two "meet and greet" passes so you can hang out with them after the show! Thanks guys; keep up the METAL.

5 shirts and 5 vinyl Lp's. Again another metal honor; I present you with one of Germany's finest thrash bands: KREATOR. My good friend Mille wants to offer 5 metalheads something pretty cool: each winner will get an autographed Violent Revolution Vinyl AND a US Tour 2006 shirt. See you on tour, guys and thanks from us all!

5 cd's that will all be autographed by the entire band. Win a copy of Fozzy's "All That Remains". I asked my good friend, and fellow Canadian metalhead, Chris Jericho, if he would offer some copies of his latest cd to you metal freaks. He said "Hell yeah!". For those who don't already know about Fozzy and only know Chris as "Y2J" from WWE/WWF fame, then take a look (and listen) again. Chris is a great singer and has a killer band and cd so I am proud to get him involved here with my fans. Stuck Mojo/Fozzy guitarist Rich Ward is also an impressive player and writer for the band. Enjoy this cd. I sure do!

3 t-shirts. Coal Chamber's bassist, Nadja Peulen, has her own T-Shirt & Apparel design company called "CruelTees" and she is more than happy to offer 3 metal-lovin' winners one of her "for-girls-only" tees (no worries if the winners are guys; this will make a great gift for that special gal!). Thanks much, Nadja, and hope you had as much fun at the Roadrunner Records New York city jam as I did!

Tonebone Hot British Features:

Tonebone Hot British

1 distortion pedal. C-TEC/Radial Engineering come up with some of the most brilliant, necessary studio products but if you want to hear some killer metal guitar tones, listen to the Annihilator "SCHIZO DELUXE" cd. I now only use the Tonebone British model for distortion to get the best guitar sound I've got in my 20 years with Annihilator.

1 delay pedal. This little puppy smokes. For high-class digital delay, you can't beat this pedal. I have so much confidence in this thing, that I just print this delay to tape when tracking guitar solos.

2 x 10 packs of Ernie Ball Strings (your gauge of choice). With all the strings out there, these are probably the best strings for metal. Reliable live (they rarely break and I am a very hard picker live) and long-lasting brightness in the studio. I use Ernie's on my albums, my cd's and my demos; a faithful user since the mid-80's.

3 guitar pickups. The fine folks at Seymour Duncan know how to make a guitar sound Metal. In fact, these hot pickups are rammed into my ESP DV8 and there's no better pickup out there.
