Open letter of farewell - Garrius - March 10, 2011
Hey guys,

The show's last Friday (March 4) for me will be marked as the closing of an era with a golden key.

I never thought I'd play at Blackmore Rock Bar with full house and the best time.

Well, the reason for this farewell letter is not to say that in my opinion this was the best show since the foundation of this band, but to talk about the experience that was to be a member of Garrius for 2 years.

It was not easy to choose the words that would make this post, as everyone knows, was not a simple decision to be taken.

I would like to thank every member of this band. I had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people in this period and also met some who truly, I prefer not to remember that they went through Garrius for two hours. Bruno knows very well what I'm talking about ... lol

I had the pleasure of the stage 10 times and try to bring fans of Danger Danger, which many musicians who play Hard Rock, has the courage to do in Brazil.

What we did during this time was a challenge that we face and overcome with love, because as there were no scores available, dedicated time, sweat, stress, anger and happiness in every note of every song performed.

We started with an attempt at playing Poison and end up doing a cover of an icon of the 80´s that strikes us today.

Play Danger Danger for me was more than making a simple cover, was a learning experience that I intend to take the rest of my life.

Since there is no secret, I'm Head Banger, I do not hide from anybody, it is in my blood. But when this opportunity came to play Danger Danger, twisted my nose at first, but listening to Beat the Bullet live in Japan, it was like for me to shut up and learned to love this band, one sound is very interesting that value is worthwhile to be explored.

When you hear songs like Rock America, Under the Gun, Feels Like Love, Horny S.O.B, I was afraid ... afraid I could not get them due to their complexity, they are listening hard.

When I saw myself playing each of these songs, especially the Horny S.O.B, I felt like a guy musically accomplished, as if I had broken the barriers of fear and the difficulties faced head on and achieved what few years I would never have the courage to do, which was to take music with this level of difficulty.

But today, I see myself in a moment that I need to stop for a while, do not say goodbye to music, but a see you soon. I need to put ideas in place, relax, rest, give it time ...

For me, this was the hardest decision so far has taken for me, I had to give up not only of a band that was already turning figure mandatory in some events, but a dream for years and years fought, sweated and to be able to turn reality.

Every day we went on stage along with Garrius, tried to do my best on stage with claw, perform each song and be relieved to get some applause from the audience to boot. That to me has no price to pay this wonderful feeling to the point where you shiver with the return of the public.

That really is what the pros feel when you perform the songs that the public expects and sing along.

Only one band in 10 years on the road made ​​me feel it, your name, Garrius, and this band has always walk with me in my heart showing me that the claw of a musician should never die.

I have no more words to say thank you all, because as I said above, everything that I lived with Garrius, is priceless.

Thank you all, heart.

Big hug, and we see there.
