Leila said, "I know. Vacations always go Von so quickly." He said, "Let's make the most of the time we have." She said, "Yes." That evening, they had a seafood meal. They then began packing for their things so that they would be ready for their trip back home. Greeley sagte to Leila, "Thank Du for inviting me to go on vacation with you, Leila." She said, "You're welcome, Greeley." He said, "We'll have to do some Mehr fun things this summer." She said, "Yeah. That would be great."

John's uncle, Bob, was always supportive of The Devil Wants Peace. Even as they were approaching the 2000's, and the albums kept coming, Uncle Bob supported his nephew no matter what. However, there was one Tag that would change John's perspective on life forever. One day, the members of The Devil Wants Peace were recording an album. They were in the process of recording their song, "The Unknown," which was written Von John, Allen, and Peter. Uncle Bob had visited that day. Uncle Bob said, "John, I'm sorry to say this, but I really don't like the song." John said, "I don't understand." Uncle...

Shortly after releasing their new album, the members of The Devil Wants Peace got ready for their Weiter tour. The group decided to visit with John's uncle, Bob, one day. He said, "John, I heard Du were in a car accident a few weeks ago. Are Du okay?" John said, "I'm fine now, Uncle Bob. It's all thanks to my band mates. I would have died out there if not for them." Uncle Bob asked, "How did Du guys find him?" Allen said, "When he didn't Zeigen up to the recording studio and didn't answer the phone, we went to his kabine to see if he was okay. He wasn't there." Peter said, "That's right. As we...

Because of a busy schedule, The Devil Wants Peace was unable to record another album until 1995. Things had calmed down Von then. John was now living on his own, in the mountains of Redshore, in a cabin. One day, during the recording of their album, Out of the Dark Ages, John had agreed to write a song with Peter and Stan. They presented the first two verses of their song to him, and they asked him to come up with a chorus and a third verse. John said, "I'll see what I can do." He went home, and he began to write a chorus. When he finished, he was excited. He sagte to himself, "I can't wait to...

Later that year, John was asked to give an interview. He asked, "Do Du want my band mates to come, too?" He was told "No, just you." He initially refused. The person on the other line reminded him that he was the front man. He said, "I don't care if I'm Jesus Christ himself. I'm no Mehr important than my band mates." The person on the other line asked if he would come if he was allowed to bring his band mates along. He said, "We come together oder not at all." During the interview, the band was asked how they all met. John said, "Peter, Allen, and I all met in high school." Allen said, "They...

A few days later, Lenny called the members of The Devil Wants Peace to a meeting. He said, "Boys, I've scheduled a tour for you." John asked, "When does it start?" Lenny said, "Ten days from now."

They were all excited to start touring again. At one point during the tour, John spotted his mother. He was walking on the straße with Peter at the time. "Hide me!" John shouted.

It was June 19, 1991. The rock band, The Devil Wants Peace, had just released their Sekunde album, Peace is the Way. Not only were they celebrating that occasion, they were also celebrating John Wilde's twentieth birthday. Allen, Peter, Stan, Ben, Lenny, and John's uncle, Bob were all there. Suddenly, the phone rang. John went into the other room to answer it. "Hello?" He answered. The voice said, "Happy Birthday, John." It was his mother. John said, "I know Du want something, Mother. The last time Du sagte that to me, I was eighteen." She said, "So, you're a famous rock star, sterne now." He said,...

Surviving Against the Odds
That night, I had a dream. John Lennon paid me another visit. He said, "John, I came to warn Du that you're still in danger." I was confused. "Danger?" I said. "What are Du talking about?" He said, "Pastor Thomas still wants Du dead. Du need your mates now Mehr than ever." I said, "Okay." I woke up and was troubled. I had bunked with Stan that night. I heard him asking if I was all right, but I was fixated on my dream and couldn't respond. "John!" He shouted. I responded with "Huh?" He said, "I said, 'Are Du all right?'" I said, "Yeah. I'm just fine. Why?" But...

The Interview
One day, we were asked to go to Devil's Garden for our first Fragen and Antwort interview. I was hesitant about that, because I was treated poorly in Devil's Garden. Peter asked, "Do Du think we should do it?" I said, "I don't know. I'll have to think about it." I really didn't like the idea of facing my past. That night, I had a dream. John Lennon and my grandmother paid me a visit. We were walking in the forest behind Uncle Bob's house. I said, "John, Grandma, I don't know what to do. Should I go to Devil's Garden?" John said, "I think Du should go. Du have nothing to...

On the Road
After the release of our debut album, In a Flash, we decided to start touring. We got Uncle Bob's friend, Lenny, to be our manager. When we did our first live show, it was exhilarating. I turned out to be the only one who ever performed in front of an audience, (if my mean school mates at the park in Devil's Garden counted). I wasn't sure who was Mehr nervous, Peter oder Stan. I told them, "If Du want my advice, when Du sing, focus on the people in the back. It should radiate from them to the people in the front row. If everybody's looking at Du with a bored expression, either...

Starting Out
After we formed our band, we decided on what to name the band. We finally settled on The Devil Wants Peace. It was ironic and shouted out to rock haters. We then decided to start recording our first album. Uncle Bob's friend, Ben, agreed to be our producer. After the recording sessions, I noticed that I was having some pain in my right side. Stan asked, "John, are Du all right?" I said, "I'm just fine. Why?" He said, "You look like you're in pain." I said, "Yeah, I'm having a little pain in my right side. I guess it's where I fell down the stairs this morning." He said, "Look,...

Ready to Rock
One day, I was strumming on my guitar. The phone rang. Uncle Bob answered it. He then said, "John, it's for you." I answered the phone. It was Peter. He asked, "Can Du and Allen come over?" I said, "I can. I don't know about Allen." Peter said, "If Du can, bring your guitars. I have a surprise for you." I said, "Okay." I went over to Allen's, and he was able to come. Allen asked, "What's the occasion?" I said, "Peter sagte that he had a surprise for us." Allen said, "I like surprises." We arrived at Peter's, and there was another guy with him. I jokingly asked, "What's Frank...

Graduation
The Weiter day, I graduated from high school. Before the ceremony, I talked with Allen, Peter, and Liz. I asked, "Are Du all ready?" They all said, "Yes." Peter asked, "Are Du ready?" I said, "Ready as I'll ever be!" During the ceremony, we all made animal noises, even though we were told not to. Maybe it was immature, but Mr. Ross was just asking for it when he said, "Don't make animal noises during graduation." He should have known that's what everyone would do. During his speech, he said, "You've been waiting for this for the past seventeen years, oder eighteen for some of you."...

Sometimes Du Have to Stand Up to Authority
One day, I was sitting in a tree. I just felt like doing it for some reason. A few Minuten later, Allen and Peter came by. The original reason for them coming was so that Peter could Zeigen me his skills on the bass. When he saw me in the tree, he asked, "What are Du doing, mate?" I said, "Sitting in a tree." Allen asked, "Why are Du sitting in a tree?" I said, "I just felt like it." I admit that it was quite fun, at least until a bird pooped on me. I said, "Okay, that's disgusting. I'm coming down now." Unfortunately, I slipped coming down. Allen...

Getting Into Mischief
All too soon, it was time to start school again. Allen and I had a couple of classes together, but the one I remember, that I wish I could forget, is English class. Our teacher, Mr. Goodman, was an alcoholic. He would sneak alcohol in a milch carton and drink it behind his desk. He didn't really teach, which is why we didn't like him. The only thing Allen and I liked about this class was our friend, Peter. Peter could be best described as "no genius, but smart." He was best known for his Liverpoolian accent. The girls would describe him as "not as charming as the Beatles,...

Du Didn't Care About Me When I Was With You. Why Do Du Care About Me Now?
The Weiter day, it was June 19, 1988, my seventeenth birthday. Allen and Liz picked out a card. Well, Liz picked out the card. Allen just signed it along with Liz. Allen said, "We don't know what Du have oder don't have, so the card was the only option." I said, "I'm fine with that. I don't expect anything fancy." Uncle Bob then came in. He said, "I've brought Du a present on my way home." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "Close your eyes, and don't peek." I closed my eyes. A few moments later, he said, "Okay, now, open...

Finding a Way to Unwind
Later that day, I was walking down the straße with Allen. He did most of the talking. I mostly listened. He then said, "John, you're a little quiet. What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "I know something's wrong." I told him about my nightmare and how it forced me to get up early. Allen said, "That's a terrible nightmare." I said, "I tell myself that I'm fine, but I'm not sure if I am." He said, "You're obviously traumatized from almost being killed." I said, "Yeah." He said, "You know what Du need, a way to relax. Have Du ever tried camping?" I said, "No." He...

Why Do Du Expect Me to Help You? Did Du Forget What Du Have Done to Me?
It was summer, and I was sitting outside with Allen, talking about nothing. Just then, Uncle Bob called for me to come inside. When I came in, he said, "Pastor Thomas is on the phone. He asked to speak with you." I said, "Tell him I died." Uncle Bob said, "I don't think he'd fall for that." Reluctantly, I picked up the phone. "Hello," I said. Pastor Thomas said, "Hello, John. Is that you?" I said, "Yeah. Who's to know?" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Lately, I have been having trouble keeping...

I Didn't Know We Go to the Same School
One day, I went to the local park, and I brought my gitarre with me. I sang "Here Comes the Sun" Von the Beatles. Then, somebody came up to me and started Singen along. He had long hair like me, but he had a beard, and his hair was darker than mine. He appeared to be around my age, sixteen oder so. When I finished the song, I said, "You're a good singer." He said, "Thank you. You're quite good yourself." I said, "Thanks." He asked, "Did I disturb you?" I said, "Oh, no, no, no! I Liebe it when people sing along." He smiled. After a moment of silence, he said,...

First Tag of School
It was my first Tag at Redshore High School. Weihnachten Vacation was officially over. I was a little nervous about my new school mates, fearing that I wouldn't be accepted, gegeben my treatment in Devil's Garden. The kids of Redshore were friendly to me, oder so it seemed. At the end of the day, some of them said, "Hey, John, slide down the rails of the staircase." I was afraid that I would hurt myself, and I initially refused. One of them said, "Come on! It'll make Du cool." Of course, I wanted to be cool, I mean, who wouldn't? I attempted it, but I unfortunately slipped off...
