I think Every Time I die will steal the show.
 
 I've lost almost all interest in Atreyu after their last 2 albums. I loved Suicide notes, but did not enjoy the last 2 at all

a womb miscarrying has more musical talent than atreyu

Deceased!  Played a few basement shows with them, oh, about 20 years ago!  Can't believe they're still around.  Glad they've done well in their scene.  
 
 I used to hang with Leslie (is he still their bass player?)  He replaced the original bass player after he got run down on the side of the road in that terrible accident.

[snailhook]

ha, that's awesome you knew deceased 20 years ago.
 
 the only original member left is king fowley, who was the huge drummer/singer. king had a stroke a few years back and now only sings, but he's the best. deceased are the kings of thrash/death metal; all of their songs are full of pure metal riffage. king has another band called october 31 that is more power metal (like manowar and helloween). they're fantastic, too.
 
 last time i booked deceased at the warehouse, king showed up in a michael schenker group t-shirt. now, that's metal!

Well maybe not quite 20 years...'88 or '89 though.  Close enough.  I looked at their site and sure enough my old bud Leslie (the asian guy)still plays bass for them.  He's not an original member though.  I'd heard King had some medical problems.  Glad to hear he's still at it.

hmmm...the site might be old...i don't think i recall seeing an asian guy in the band the last couple of years. or maybe he rejoined.

no bad mouthing of D FORCE will be tolerated on this board.

He goes by Les now, at least according to all the sites....their myspace page says he's in the band still....prolly couldn't tell he's asian through all the hair!
 
 Anyway, thanks for pushing me down memory lane this AM.

 Most people who dislike Atreyu have listened to very little of their stuff. Try "Creature" or "Corsetting (probably their best one)" They can come off as a little emo-y but overall they rock. The best? Maybe not but I'll bet they put on a good show. Will be there.
