Other favorite bands besides COB..

nah man sherinien sounden like pop to me! falling in to infinity is an appaling album./. to much beatles shit in it... Moore had feeling and rudes just damn right technically kicks ass.. sherinian just shows off and sounds bent! ACOS wasnt qwriten with derek so its sounds cool.. i love the album awake its there best by far and its in my top three of best albums ever.. Moore is legendary..
