      @@jasonsimmons6684 I don’t believe he was young and dumb. In my opinion it’s one of the great things about getting a tattoo. I got my first in Vegas and it’s horrible but also my favorite. Tattoos tell the story of your life. When you’re dead… someone could look at you and see what you experienced in your life. I think it’s pretty neat. Anyway, Shannon is incredible. Perfect fit for the band.

    Not a fan of Godsmack or Ugly Kid Joe, but if you wanna hear some of the greatest underrated thrash metal to come out of the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s, check out Shannon’s drumming as a member of Wrathchild America on the albums “Climbin’ The Walls” and “3-D”. “3-D” is an absolute masterpiece, and is in my top 10 favorite albums of all time. Incredible songwriting with brilliant performances from each band member, particularly Shannon (great for air-drumming!).

      Why are you “sorry”? I mean I don’t believe in that stuff nor do I believe in an invisible man in the sky, but I certainly don’t look at people differently if I find out they’re christians or whatever. People are allowed to believe whatever they want, the times I have a problem with it is when it comes to law makers, judges and politicians. They need to keep their personal beliefs to themselves, the problem is they don’t. That’s part of why what’s happening in Texas is happening. I’m a fully disabled combat veteran and part of the reason I fought for a country that doesn’t even want to acknowledge the existence of Atheists is because we have the freedom here to be different and not die for it
