Now and then I love me some Devildriver.
Man this damn thread is making me want to get out my guitar and drum kit again. Anyone else on here in a thrash metal band? I was a vocalist and rhythm guitarist for a band for three years, and I did some back up drumming when our drummer wanted to do guitar or vocals for songs that he wrote. It was a blast, but in the end being in a band is tough and a lot of work. I have been toying with the idea of getting back into it, but I just have not had any time.
I played drums for about 7 years before I went off to bootcamp, but haven't picked it back up. While stationed at Pendleton, I was a vocalist for an alt-rock band. We used to play parties and tiny bars in Orange County; nothing serious, just for fun. I much prefer vocals to drums, but I can't do the deathmetal screaming; I prefer melody. I've also been throwing around the idea of getting back into it.

I got a guitar before deploying to the 'Stan, but I couldn't bring it over with me (our connex filled up too fast), I never did learn to play it...![]()

I'm not musically gifted. My friend is the drummer for a local band called "Arise in Chaos". They're playing Herman's on the 7th.
Atrain- I love that song, the original and the Killswitch version!
In terms of remakes I love this one by Five Finger Death Punch:
And then there is perhaps my favorite Trivium song:

Yes, forgot to mention Killswitch.
It's not the odds. It's the stakes.
