Max Cavalera is a legend. The dude has earned the right to do whatever he pleases. That kid who,ripped own drums is his son. 100 bucks to meet him and have your stuff signed by one of your biggest heros may not be that steep.
The bass player is Tony Campos who used to be in Static X..played on the last Prong album, Ministry, and is in a death metal band with Dino from fear factory called Assecino.
Marc Rizzo is one of the best guitar players in the metal world hands down.
I have been a Sepultura fan since Beneath The Remains came out on tape. I have followed Max ever since. I have seen Soulfly every tour since the first and have never one time been disappointed. In fact Soulfly has always put on great live shows every time I have seen them no matter who was in the band.
Max is getting older and is still playing metal music and doing it well.
The new album has some really great songs on it such as this one
