nu metal eats ass!

Yeey, another Carcass fan :D

JEFF WALKER

From all the bands I've seen live the two that blew me away were Alex Webster from Cannibal corpes and believe it or not and fuck you to anybody that would laugh Frank Watkins from Obituary.

Ya, sure there are better but I don't listen to cock rock. Sorry.:D

Tom Araya (Slayer) - I just admire his ability to play VERY fast and sing at the same time

Krist Novoselic (Nirvana) - He's just a cool guy
