Now here is something I didn't know!
Of course like anything that's out there...Battlestar Galactica has fans from all walks of life....you name the profession & there is someone in that particular line of work who is a fan.
People who work in the industry are fans too....be they actors, writers or musicians.
Case in point...Scott Ian of the band Anthrax is a massive fan of the show...and the part that I didn't know is that he worked on the final version of the release of Bear McCreary's Battlestar Galactica: Razor/The Plan, specifically the track: Apocaclypse.
Bear was looking for a definite heavy metal feel for this...check out the video here.

Anyway, a nugget for all you nugget's out there...
Here are images of the front and back of the CD if you are out there scanning around for it....
It's really amazes me when talent of this kind can come together and really create something great...of course you wouldn't expect anything less, right?
Of course, who would have thunk a marriage between Anthrax & Battlestar Galactica right?
I think actually, it just points out again something that I pretty much talk about all the time...and that is the diversity of the fans...and the talent of the fans.
IMHO (In my humble opinion) all the fans are great, they are all creative and constantly coming up with amazing (yep, there's that word again!)...things.
Either via music, film, stories...it's all good!
When you take something that's in your mind and make it real...that is creation...even if you are taking something pre-existing and making something new...well, that in that form never existed before, now did it.
The main thing is that everyone has potential in them...Battlestar Galactica is a great way to unlock that potential...so when it comes to things like this...I say pull the cork out!
I think everyone has natural inhibitions, but really if you have an idea or talent you want to express, express it!
I think for instance that this website is a perfect place to make the expression to the whole BSG Universe...or the universe in general if you want.
Always...and I mean always...the main goal here is to make things as interactive as possible...for everyone...so people can interact with each other over long distances, talk story and have fun...and to be creative.
I think it's an amazing (whoops!) platform!
So go check Bear and Scott on itunes if you haven't already....
So Say We All!
