You stole my idea dude :D

Alright, they're related to
- Twisted Sister (We're Not Gonna Take It live cover)
- Klamydia (Latomeri cover)
- Ramones (Somebody cover)
- Impaled Nazarene (Alexi played there + wrote some songs; some inspiration for "Downfall" lyrics...)
- Skid Row (the line "We'll stand and we won't fall" is taken from "Youth Gone Wild", the song COB did backings for when Norther covered it.)
- To/Die/For (Allu solos on "In The Heat Of The Night" cover)
- Stratovarius ("Eagle Heart" played after solo battles)
- Nightwish ("Elvenpath" played before Downfall on Paris bootleg)
- Kotipelto (Janne played keys)
- Wizard and Cryharvoc because they were on splitted singles with them.


I'm too lazy to list all the abnds they toured with or in whose CD booklets they got greeted...

But if course they're related to Black Widow because they're a COB cover band! :D
