i just found out that one of my friends from high school i was trying to start a band has become an emo. it's really saddening...he's a dos drummer. i just don't know what else to say...
on a lighter note, I also just found out (via Facebook.com) that another of my friends from high school who i tried to start a band with got accepted to Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA and is getting his degree to be a professional guitarist. So i guess it's a trade off.
A former drummer of mine..... awesome fuckin drummer, but no Tommy Lodwick.
He stone cold quit drums and practiced guitar for a year and a half. Hes a wicked player now. We used to call him "bongo boy" Now I dont pick on him. His dedication is second to none.

I had a guitarist and bassist both with great skill and potential both quit my band to GO BACK to a gimmick emo scene "band" that copys riffs from that gay gimmick "story of the year" "band" {that same guitarist that quit to go back to them showed me that} I know these kids... they are coke-headed integrityless, well just pices of shit morons. But fuck them the metal gods will smite them... they can go live their lives of fakeness, my only question is how can they live with themselfs knowing their "music" is a gimmick for the purpose of trying to "make it" and also being drug addict scounderals?
because if the gimmick made it big once, surely it'll make it again. one of my roommates' brother went to this 6 week long recording workshop/school thing in chilicothe, OH (it's like an hour south east of columbus) and one of the teachers played a nickleback song (one of their big hits), and then played a song from a different album (this one too, a big hit) and, although the lyrics were different, it was the same song! chord progressions, beat...everything was the same. one of the students asked, "did they do that on purpose?" and the teacher said, "hell yeah they did it on purpose! if it was a hit one time, it'll be a hit again!"
That is one of the many things that sums up my hatred for mainstream music.
