All my thanks has to go to my phenomenal wife Stephanie, she works extremely hard on our site never being a webmaster and still learning. She works a day job, we have three kids and she also has to put up with Dave Felix, Me & Mark Balogh (notice the order)! There are so many others to thank, the great people at Rocklahoma an event I will never forget. We became close to a lot of rockers and appreciate every one of them. We started back almost four years ago with a handful of hits to our site now over 1 Million.

There is one person a mentor I always turn to and that is Tom Mathers of RockNation/Perris Records. That guy is golden to us!

The interview that meant so much to me has to be with Lisbeth Hellman (Dave Lepard's Mom). It was not easy first approaching Lisbeth and asking the questions were very touchy but she is a Lepard mom and she did a fantastic job. I had many tears in my eyes and it also touched the heart of my buddy Chris Laney.

Rob (Stickman Radio) What can I say about Rob at Stickman Radio, One thing our site would not be where it's at without him. The worst thing is that he moved to Florida once working with us. We still keep in touch and without his direction we would be lost. Rob is one of the major steps forward in the climb for RockEyez.com and stickman radio will always be our sister site. Rob you’re the best.

I have to thank Mark Balogh my right hand man who does most of the editing now and David Felix. These are the two that hold our site together.

Joe Manno, Judy Felix, Maria Venture, Greg Schmitt and sometimes my daughter Sara if she's not on punishment all contribute in a special way. We need all of you.

A special bond came into place with Lisa and Robbie from Dexter's, a fantastic new venue that will lead the charge and revitalize the music scene in New Jersey.

• Alexi Mari - OPHUIRA I'm very happy to read this news and I have no words to express my joy... It's an honor for us to be one of five best new bands :D
• Gemini Five Oh my G+O+D: This i a really an honor to us :) Thank you so much for the all the support since the debut album. Gemini Five Being among the Top 10 cd's 2008 just makes all the efforts, fighting, blood, sweat and lust for the past 2 years worthwhile. Absolutely! We totally drained ourselves by taking control over the production and by our "kill 'em all leave no prisoners"-attitude when making "SEX DRUGS ANARCHY", this nomination we will be re-filled again inspiration wise. For sure. Thank you so much for the belief and for sharing the love for our music. We tip our hats off to you, Brian and RockEyez.com. Can't thank you enough.
  // GEMINI FIVE
  
  RockEyez's been there since our very debut to support and to spread the word of many talented bands to not just the U.S.A market but to the whole world of supporters to great music. And we are honored to be a part of the RockEyez Universe.
  Respect // GEMINI FIVE

• MIss Crazy When M!SS CRAZY first came out and we started to do a first tour, We saw a review on our debut CD. We thought we were seeing things when our CD had 5 stars and a killer review from Brian Rademacher! That review open so many rock fans eyes about us! That review got clubs to want us across the country. We tour 148 shows across the USA! We played Jersey and Brian was there! We rocked his ass off! He invited us over for dinner and football! It was overwhelming to have someone take you in the home they live in and cook you dinner, get your favorite drink, favorite team is playing and they actually won! ROCKEyez is nothing but pure rocking class!

  First off to be in the Rockeyez top 10 is an honor! M!SS CRAZY II is a CD that I am so proud of. Things were Crazy for M!SS CRAZY when I wrote it. It has alot of meaning and heart. Not to mention that it is heavy and totally real. Also being number 8 is better than being number 9 and 10!!! Hahahahaa! Thank you Rockeyez for believing in M!SS CRAZY and supporting us! Much much love to you guys! Look out for Freakshow!!! It's near....

• China Blue Hey guys, we are thrilled that China Blue made these top lists for 2008! There were a lot of great CD's to come out this year, and a lot of great new bands to come along. I can't believe we're even on the list. Rock Eyez has always been great friends to all of us individually, and to be recognized like this collectively is just moving. To Brian, Mark, Dave and everyone associated with this awesome site, thank you so much! You guys are so cutting edge, you review every show in town and every disc that comes your way! And your photographs are so great that I've been coming to YOU for promo photos of these guys! Thanks for a great '08, let's all rock together hard into 2009! All my best,
  Eric Ragno, China Blue
• Ted Poley / Vic Rivera "Thanks to Rockeyez for including us in their yearly "Best Of" tallies! We are stoked that you thought enough of us and our new release, ONLY HUMAN, to place us amongst your top picks for the year. Thanks for your support and keep rocking!"
  Ted Poley and Vic Rivera
  Take care - ~V~

  "We are really honored to be in your “top 10 CD’s of 2008” list! I’ve been reading at "Rock Eyez" since you did a review of our album “Dead End”, and I really enjoy what I’m reading. Especially the reviews I think got a very high quality to them. You can really sense that the person who made the review really have listened to the album more than once and haven’t just threw something together in a couple of minutes. As a band who have worked for a long time with an album, that is really something you appreciate!
  
  Thanks again! Jon,
  Incrave"
