ugh, I think that this band is terrible. My old band used to be based out of York PA and they were out of Lancaster. We used to play with these guys at least twice a month for a year or two. As far as I'm concerned this is just another junky, overhyped, cookie cutter, high school metalcore band. The music is generic, their lame moves are generic, and they look generic. I can't remember one time that we played with these guys that we didn't completely blow them out of the water.
 
I saw Opeth open for Lamb of God in AC..
Amazing.
I dont think the LOG crowd really appreciated them. too bad because they are awesome.
 
I saw LOG open for Slayer at the Brenden Byrne arena........definitely some difference in genre between Opeth, and LOG.

what band were you in?
 
Why quit? In my future I see a myself paying drums in an old folks home with other ancient broken down metal heads. Our name will be Def Hearing Aids or Old Man's Bedpan. We will not be "blown out of the water" at any shows.

The music scene always has some competitive shit that is silly but to me its always been about playing, and playing with other people and other bands. Playing music is a simple joy for me, vital actually.
 
we should do a mtbnj metal band ill play guitar and you can play drums and maybe we can get jim to play guitar too. all songs will be brutal and we will wear matchy matchys on stage

It will only work if you wear plaid polyester pants and shirts with dribble stained sweater-vests or vintage day-suits. And somebody HAS to play accordian... or banjo maybe. I think warcricket can help out on mandolin or flute. Well, I probably could too, except I wouldn't be caught dead on stage with a bunch of stinky old guys in polyester pants hiked up to here. 😀

Obviously a band that didn't go nearly as far as the cookie-cutter August Burns Red😉

The attitude from his last response is exactly why I stopped playing in bands...

Yeah your right, my band went nowhere. The only reason I've ever played music was to make music that I enjoyed, I have never given a shit weather people liked it or not. What I'm saying is that obviously ABR has different views than I do because they started that band solely to make money. When my band was playing with them they couldn't have been any more than 16-17 years old and they all acted like their shit didn't stink. I could of told you back in 2003 that these guys were going to be huge, they were playing the stuff everyone wanted to hear. The simple fact of the matter is that anyone could of gone out and started some junky metalcore band and made it huge, theres nothing special going on here, they still suck. You can find my old band here myspace.com/whatthefloodgaveup. All of the recordings we ever did were live, diy, and terrible sounding, but like I said, we didn't really give a shit.

ps. on a funny side note my old band did almost get signed by a few labels. The one we came closest to signing with was Ironbound recordings which is Ant Money from E-Town Concretes label. He drove out to York pa with his bulldog and watched us practice in some crappy old shed then took us out to dinner. A week later he had us on a full page ad in Metal Hammer magazine and we hadn't even signed anything yet. Then I'm assuming that his label failed because we never heard from him again and I don't think they ever signed any bands of did any releases. Weird as hell.

Matchy matchys are totally brutal. I'm in as long as we agree that we will 'get blown away by every band we ever play with'. Strength thru humiliation, thats the way to go.

STEEL CHAMOIS? SHOCK PUMP? TOP TUBE STEAK?

See you there! I figure I have at least 50 years before that project starts. I look forward to it none the less. Warcricket has about 80 years before he joins us.

Even though I get the impression that Jim and Scott don't like me very much because of my musical opinions, I would love to get in on this. If they can deal with having someone who doesn't like ABR in the band I call tambourine and kazoo, two essentials to any metal band.😀 Oh, and I always play in the nude...
 
Kazoos rock!😀
Bring a slide whistle too just in case.
We'll place the tambourine strategically and see if it covers enough droopy stuff to get by... and don't worry about the other guys, they won't care if your musical tastes are different. Heck, with the alzheimer's they'll be asking you your name every five minutes.:rofl:
