I love metal too, it just isn’t a part of my lifestyle as it is for him. We do share other interests, but when I asked him if he wished I were more metal he replied that that would be ‘cool’. [...]

Lately I just haven’t been able to like METAL like I used to, and yet, it’s still all that I think about. I was just at a great Symphony X show and I just couldn’t seem [...]

There, I said it. I think they’re stupid and pointless. Like rugby – what’s the point of trying to get the ball to the end of the field by throwing it backwards? We were forced to play all sorts of shit in PE at school, and I was always [...]

Right now I’m a senior in high [...]
