^ both Steve Vai and Victor Smolski played in the Krasnodar city, which is not far from where I live. And while with Vai it was more of a common fan story (i mean i just waited after the gig for him to come out), with Victor it was a longer story. About 5 years ago he was a producer for a russian band called Freakozaks (which later was renamed Overwind due to legal issues), and together they planned a project called "tribute to Rage" where other bands would play Rage's songs. Our band participated in this project with a cover version of "Paint the Devil on the Wall", and Victor quite liked it. Unfortunately, the label later declined this idea and the tribute was never released. But still, when we came to Victor's gig, we had a talk after that and he remembered who we were and personally appreciated the cover version. And that's the end of the story ))
