chetrickerman
11-30-2007, 01:55 PM
we definitely need a triangle in this band!!!

im into stuff like Emmure, Misery Signals, All Shall Perish, As I lay Dying, All That Remains, In Flames, Chimaira, The Acacia Strain. Also 80's metal like slayer, and Megadeth

I'll be your manager...

Throwdown
11-30-2007, 02:30 PM
I can shred with Slayer. Every good metal band has 2 guitarists.

Or maybe we can all just buy Rock Band for the 360 and shred there.

Rems31
11-30-2007, 02:30 PM
I can play the recorder...but we can only do covers of mary had a little lamb, jingle bells, and twinkle twinkle
