So let’s talk about this amazing mother fucker for a minute. This guy, no matter how ill or sad, gets up on stage and plays with the energy of one thousand mighty men. He’s consistently done so for years and years. No matter what, you know that you can count on Frank to put on a show and play with every ounce of passion in his little body simply because he fucking loves it. No matter how old he gets his energy on stage never waivers because it’s a testament to just how much he adores being up there and getting to play music he loves in front of fans that love and appreciate what he does for a living.

He is the only member that has been consistent in maintaining a genuine connection with the fan base. No matter what, you can almost always count on him to take time out after a show and sign and take photos. Even when no one else in the band does, and he’s working just as hard, probably just as tired and misses his family just as much when he’s on the road, has to put up with just as much bullshit from “bad seed” fans, but he always carves out time for the fans when he can.

He’s remained honest, humble, personable and lately has been at the forefront of bridging the gap between the band it’s fans.

Frank pretty much embodies everything this band stood for when they started and he continues to exude that to this day.

Thank you for helping me to continue to believe in this band.

Happy Birthday. You’re incredible. Never Change.

Keep The Faith.
