Hey, JD...

[Dustin_S]

Hey, is that an actual singer in your avatar? If it was, I was gonna guess it's either a really dark picture of Rob Zombie or that guy from Sevendust...whats the story? the color looks off, but it could be solarized or photoshopped...

[JD@af]

Wassup Dustin??

Those are good guesses, and you are not far off the mark. It is in fact Corey Taylor, #8, from Slipknot.

*Gives JD a Prize* You know their names I just know them as "The one with the wigged out pig mask" or "The one with the dreads"

Indeed:

Sid Wilson, #0 (DJ)
Joey Jordison, #1 (drums)
Paul Grey, #2 (bass)
Chris Fehn, #3 (percussion)
James Root, #4 (lead guitar)
Craig Jones, #5 (sampler)
Shawn Crahan, #6 (percussion)
Mick Thomson, #7 (rhythm guitar)
Corey Taylor, #8 (vocals)

So I'm a Slipknot nerd... And suffice to say I know the masks as well :finger:

[Gonthrax]

Joey is the man I'm a lead guitar player so I don't play drums very much but enough to know that his legs must be stronger then a mules to play that damn double base that fast for so long

[Lord_Vektra]

JD you have impressed me :coolguy: I love slipknot and Joey is great but if you want a REALLY good drummer Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater Ownz

[JD@af]

Thanks LV, and G, I agree that Joey is one of the best drummers, certainly in rock music, today. His abilities are overshadowed by the immense sound that Slipknot puts out, but if you've ever been to a 'Knot show, than you know very well how good he is when he rips a solo.

In other news, I didn't know you played guitar, let alone lead?! That's cool! Do you have a band? :sun:

I've played with a few bands on and off, mostly I just jam with my friends. I'll try and see if any music from any bands I've played with is on the net. The most likely suspect is Jhelom, I played lead guitar in a few of their songs. I'll check

[Lord_Vektra]

I love music and I would be my left arm to play a instrument.....(hey I could be a drummer for def fleppard) but anyway I cant play jack but I would like to do like sound for a good band

[Gonthrax]

Well in my search for music I found somthing interesting. The band I played a few numbers with, Jhelom, had a record deal with Jet Speed Records. Things happened and they split with Jet Speed. Now Jetspeed doesn't have them listed in the Artists, but if you go here and scroll down to the bottom of the screen, in the row of pictures they are the bottom left picture... Isn't that illegal? Using their likenesses and touting them as artists under this label when they arn't?

Donno if it's illegal, but its just kinda wrong in my mind.

[Gonthrax]

And in that pic from left to right they are:

Kevin Groce: Lead Guitar
Keith Bransteder: Bass
Chris Clines: Vocals
Matt DeVore: Drums (A very very very bad ass drummer, professional level without a doubt)
Chad Wilson: Rhythm Guitar (Otherwise known as "The Green Carson)
so JD j/k

Chris, Matt, and Chad were some of the guys I hung out with during highschool. Crazy guys

[Dustin_S]

Sweet...I have about 75 songs just between Slipknot and Dream Theatre, with Sevendust Coming in Right behind...at about 60...hehehe. me like, me like.
matter of fact, Caught in a web is playing right now. CAUGHT IN A WEB...REMOVED FROM THE WORLD!!! HANGING ON BY A THREAD!!! SPARE MY LIFE..something something something.!!!!!!!!!!!~

Oh, yeah. I know what you mean bout Joey Jordison. MD (Modern Drummer) did an article on him a few months ago. Ronn Dunnett, a Canadian drumbuilder, provided a couple of the kits they record/gig on, and a few years ago, Ronn offered a contest to go meet Joey and the others. I didn't win(:cry, but I did get a new Dunnett Snare.

Here's your next question, JD- is that a picture you found on our friend the net, or did you take that yourself?

Found it on a maggot's site. Hope that's not too immoral of me to take it and use it for myself. It was already solarized and with whatever other visual retouchings that it has now. I really like it - I use it as my avatar here, at Hostboard, and as my AIM buddy icon
