Have No Fear Hawk.. I did reply to your post on Blabbermouth as well (FYI). I am finalizing my drum parts and should be going into the studio in about 7-10 to record the first song and hand it off to the rest of the guys. And while they are working on that I will record the second song. I'm...

All I can say is eat lots of ice cream :cool: I had an ice cream and a vanilla shake to keep cool. And it was good. Stay cool...!

That's sweet Steve! I wish I worked a tour with them on it. I saw them at the HoB in Anaheim last Halloween and they ripped. COB aren't over the top prog but compared to a lot of bands out there in the ____-metal genre I think those guys are super talented and write some really good songs. I'm a...

That's quite a list. I've got a few in the prog metal category. If I listed all the progressive bands I liked, I think the server would shut down. Planet X, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Derek Sherinian (solo), Children of Bodom and Project Steiger (one of my other bands). Other prog music I...

Again, I've been out of town. Just did a gig in Tempe, AZ last night. It was hotter than heck out there. It was 112 degrees on Saturday. Glad to be out of that hot weather. It was a really long drive too (six hours). Hopefully us guys can all get together this week and work on some new tunes...

You're right Wyvern, the music is killer. We really dug playing that tune. It has a chunky straight-ahead pounding rhythm. Plus I changed the drum part in the beginning to really make it rock. But the lyrics were lame.

OK, seriously people, have you listened to the lyrics in "Transfusion Vamp" That is just ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, Antonio is a cool guy. I've had the pleasure of working with him, but come on people... I could name a few more but that would be kicking a dead horse. You all know what I...

"Q" don't be dissin Adam Ant... Well.. I don't smoke, but I DO drink!!! and what else do I do... OH yeah Baby!! Messiah.. glad to see another drummer on board. I plan on taking it to the limit. Even Steve told me to kick it up a notch. I have a habit of playing for the song and not throwing...

Hey "Q", sorry I haven't been posting but I've been in Vegas cleaning house. I took Vegas for a bunch of money. I had a great time tin Vegas winning money and checking out the sights. I have to be honest and say that the train pulled into the station and made an over-night stop in Vegas. But it...

I can smell it!!! He's a coming. He's been busy, but I know he's about to post. I've played with great singers before and I have to tell you that I am really pumped to be playing with Bruce. So far he has laid fown some really cool vocals. You all won't be disappointed when you hear him serenade...

Oh now you got me going. I LOVE PROG Metal. But I AM a FREAK!!! Give me odd time, sweeping guitar leads, and a bass player that can sound like a guitar player at times and I feel like I'm at home. But at the same time, I love playing for the song. It's always about the song. DON'T OVER PLAY! So...

WALKEN. Ronnie would have been a great singer for the band. And I wish someday I would have the opportunity to play music with him. I'm not too sure about Gwar. Only because I'm not too familiar with them. FIREHEAD, If you like Testament, then I think you will like the new Steel Prophet...

Pabla, you can't handle the truth!! We have a few titles, but they are insider titles to start. When you name songs like"Metal Church" and "Maiden", you know what the influences are for the song. I know it is taking a long time for something to surface, but just hold on. It is just around the...

I know I heard Iron Maiden and Judas Priest when I first joined the band. Classic metal sound. ARMED FORCES had a pretty straight ahead metal approach. I'm hoping to infuse a bit more progressive influences into the new music. I'm real big into the over-the-top progressive music. Like Planet X...

Okay, so can anyone help a bother? I can't figure out how to get my picture to display under my name? I uploaded a picture but I don't know how to get it to show like SIDEKICK. It's all the small things...
