Favorite Metal Bands

[LordOVchaoS]

Ahh, my good friend, Luke. He was in my previous band, Byaxis, for a while. Incredible musician. The old ST drummer, Dave, is now back in Seattle. I met up with him this weekend.

Every time I listen to Sleep Terror, Luke makes me feel like I should just put down the guitar for good. The guy is a madman!

Tell me about it. At one time, he was teaching me ST guitar parts because he wanted me as the 2nd guitarist. I thought I was a pretty damn good guitarist....until I started learning his stuff. I could play the riffs. The bitch was trying to play them at HIS tempo.

I've been a coroner fan since the late 80's early 90's - thier first 2 LP's kicked some serious ass! These guys really rock and deserve a listed to.

Tommy V. Is an awesome player and excellent riff writer, which isn't exactly the most common combination. A sadly underrated band...
