    Contacting Schecter

    Yes @CodaCalypso had that problem. He sent them a resume and it took them months to acknowledge they received it. When they finally did (over a month later) it was a positive reply asking to schedule a phone interview. He replied, they never did. Eventually he wrote them off as a luthering...

    Have you met Synyster Gates? What happened?

    Lol. Music is outlandish and we all do interesting things to pick up extra change. Busking comes in all kinds of forms. Busking as Bam seems plausible. Busking as Elvis…outlandish.

    Who here survived a mine field of religious triggers to be here today?

    Cody, thank you for sharing your story. You are right about viewing songs from a christian perspective, art can be viewed from all perspectives so that is correct. I learned to ask “What is the artist trying to say?” so I don’t miss the story being presented. I also enjoy conversations between...

    Who here survived a mine field of religious triggers to be here today?

    10 years ago I would pretend “Beast and the Harlot” was out of my range to avoid singing it on Guitar Hero (even though I had already left the church by that time). Coda’s love and respect for Synyster Gates balanced musicality that inspired me to face and deal with my religious trauma. The the...
