RIP dude, they were all great when I met them. Sad indeed
 
My Dad told me no motorbikes when I was a kid. He said "I wanted one, and my folks said no, because on a bike, you're wrapped around it. In a car, it's wrapped around you". Turns out his best friend was killed while riding a motorbike back when they were in high school.

Met Brann and Bill back in 2017 when they were out with EoDM. Hung with Jesse too.

Down to earth, chill dudes with an attitude of gratitude.

Listening to Billy Howerdel last night on Tone Talk reminded me of something:

These guys are all just like us. Fans that made it. That was the vibe from Brann and Bill too. No self-conceit superiority egotism within whatsoever. Just hard work paying off. A lovable bunch for sure.

I hope their next record is their biggest.

Yeah dude they were all the bros. This was at a small VIP hang when they did the Crack the Skye anniversary tour
 
In reality the split up was bound to happen.
Look at Hinds against the others, you can see he was still a filthy road dog while they went the pretty boy Floyd Viking guy, LTFOL dudes!
He brought the “Cobain” torchered soul to the mix…and could back it up with chops..but for how long ya know?
He now lives in his music that’s for sure.

Y’all want some real reality driving’ on them roads??
Any of you dudes drive through Detroit on 75 at night??
-that’ll learn ANY driver on planet Earth right there.
100mph minimum, multiple cars with no windshields/lights/insurance etc..
They’ve got nothing lose and you can’t get water from a rock AND they got somewhere to be!
All you can do is haul ass or get your ass eaten.

Now here’s the real concern driver’s of today need to be aware of:

In Florida, there’s a large landscaping industry.
Companies mow & service properties 12 months a year.
All those large commercial properties, Malls, Fairgrounds, Apartment Complex’s etc…
Somebody’s gotta get out there and do the work!
Hardest hang-up for small companies?
-Driver’s.
So how the fuck does all this work get done daily?
However they can get it done and get away with it..
You think all those Hispanic guys driving those construction vans, landscape trucks, roofing trucks have Fl Driver’s License’s??
9 out of 10 don’t is the fuckibg bold ass reality.
Why is this so important?
Most of them cannot read English and do not care too.
How are they reading road signs?
-they really don’t in Mexico.
They don’t care and if they get busted they just go home for a while and come back through the desert in the summer.
The Police are well aware of this btw.
Guess what?
They’re outnumbered.
In the sense of constantly stopping vehicles and performing arrests knowing the inevitable .Somebody’s gotta mow the commentaries of the elite politicians neighborhoods right?
They’ve filled that void to strong arming their way around the law.
It’s that simple.
Strong arming.

So you never know if those driving amongst you can even comprehend the laws of the road and have no desire to ever comply because they don’t have too!
THAT!! Is one good chunk of why the roads are so dangerous, add all the other reasons of your own experiences.
 
Does every thread in here have to have that one political post?

Also, the odds of it being a BMW SUV full of immigrants on a landscaping job at almost midnight are near non-existent, so the pertinence of the above rant is moot.

It's far more likely some dumb ass on their phone regardless of color or immigration status.
 
I can hear it on Joe Rogen tomorrow.

"Did illegal immigration lead to metal god, and former Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds death? Just hear me out bro."
 
I wonder is Zack Wylde will join Mastodon now. He seems to be the replacement for dead rock stars. He kinda sounds like Brent too.
