In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3

The Beatles should be considered classical because ever since then, beethoven and Bach haven't even mattered.

Depends, but like the genre name implies it is limited to certain subjects (death and war and shit) like rap is to sex, money and drugs. I like Bolt Thrower as a good example.

No Doubt!

I lost my shoe during Eye of the Storm when Bullet For My Valentine was playing at Taste of Chaos '07, and didn't find it until right before the next band started. I kept my shoes tied tight after that. That or the huge fight my girlfriend and I had during the last iRival show.. :(

The ridiculous stage banter during Freshman 15's usual shows.

My concerts usually aren't sad. Waiting for the big breakup show.

43. If you were a musical instrument what would you be?
I like drums.

44. Do you listen to the radio?
99X only. Because the old 105.3 THE BUZZ turned in to 9-6-1 The Project and now sucks ass. Same with the old 96.1 rock station. I like The River sometimes.

Rarely. Mostly Ninja Warrior and Law and Order and Pokémon...

Fucking every time.

What I'm playing on the CD player in the bathroom. I usually burn a copy of my car's current mix CD to keep in there. :)

63. Would you rather marry a musician or be one yourself?
Be one.

64. How important is your partners taste in music to you?
Actually she has influenced my taste in music completely and I can't imagine it without her.

At a time when my favorite artists were Naoki Maeda, Sota Fujimori, dj TAKA and T.M. Revolution were up on my play lists, she flat out told me my taste sucked. She gave me a mix CD with shit like Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Nickelback and Staind, so I started there. I guess it was okay at the time, but then I dug into Nirvana because their name popped up on the radio. That's a big jump, Japanese techno to grunge from my childhood. I ran the other way.

I was sitting in Cape Sans Blas, FL with nothing at all to do. If you go to this town, you'll learn that you can 1. Go to the beach or 2. Fish or 3. Go to dinner. Oh and junk shops. Fuck. But then between watching whatever crap was on MTV and playing DDR, a little band name My Chemical Romance was shown during commericals. It was the first time I heard that noise I liked that I heard on some of the Tony Hawk games (which I rediscovered later on, classics like All I Want by The Offspringand The Boy Who Destroyed The World): punk, pop punk, fast rock that didn't sound like fucking 80's shit. I went home, made a MyChem and Rammstein mix CD, took it to Candace and it went downhill from there. I ended up borrowing (and never returning) In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 from a friend. So on and so forth.

Candace helped me get back into 90's rock, grunge, pop punk and discover lots of new stuff like post-hardcore, indie rock and everything in between.

67. Hanson moves in next door to you, do you go introduce yourself, or do you arrange to beat them up?
I'd fucking love to hang out with them. Ever heard of Tinted Windows? That's Hanson kicking ass again.

68. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, you dig?
First and third. The middle is where most people do it wrong.

69. Do you cook to music?
I can't cook! I must have no interruptions during my "experiments" aka ruined food.

70. If you could be any band ever what'd it be?
I want my band, This Remedy, to be the best it can. We will destroy everything.
