Loudwire isn't a music thing. It's a music gossip site at best

[@qwantinmoe6215]

Don't cross the crooked step!

[@lt.branwulfram4794]

Haha, love when he says Hello Kitty's for noobs.

[@jjbasscover]

Dream Theater - 6:00 Dream Theater - Honor thy father Twister Sisters - We're not gonna take it Anthrax - Indians King Diamond - Welcome home Iron Maiden - Run to the hills Judas Priest - Painkiller Van Halen - Hot for teacher Slayer - Angel of death

[@gunscotthdgaming69420]

*And this is one of the reasons why I love Dream Theater*

[@sohee7597]

I support the idea of having the whole band together playing hello kitty instruments

[@thulsa_doom]

He wanted a Pokémon set and he got it - with a double bass! He rocks. Follow your dreams!

[@reignfire77]

those guys should feel ashamed of themselves for not knowing 'hot for teacher'

[@rafaelpina226]

Barney Toastmaster I got in like the first few seconds lol

[@sulphurbutterfly5151]

This is content produced by millennials after all.

[@Timocracy]

NPC_ GUARD_04 Am millennial, Hot For Teacher was the ONLY one I got right, wtf

[@austntexan]

Yeah, that's nuts.

[@am1992sxe]

I know I was...

[@poyznelf]

this guy is quickly becoming my fave drummer. He is so much fun and he made that kit sound okay

[@FairyCRat]

Josh Manuel of Issues actually plays a Pokémon kit on a daily basis.

[@kodypavic6075]

and he rocks the shit outta it

[@dariohc6898]

Fairy C Rat crap band

[@FairyCRat]

Don't dare say shit about Issues.

[@magicfairycome]

looks like we got another poser here boys

[@FairyCRat]

EggSensei No, it's just that I like this band. Sounds like for you heavy metalheads every band that blends multiples styles is crap.

[@elijahhoustonsenter]

Still more metal than Black VeiL brides

[@sayanorasonic]

Elijah Senter you mean slipknot?

[@cade8006]

Clarence Alfonso - I think they mean Black Veil Brides.

[@benhardwiesner6963]

Wasnt the word "Emocore" specifically founded to officially exclude bands like this from our beloved genre?

[@shoonger001]

Dude...

[@royalcat10]

Tbh the hate for Black Veil Brides is way more directed at their fanbase than music. Their guitarists are pretty damn good. Even on their first record they have some pretty difficult licks and solo's scattered around, and they were only like 18-20 years old at that point.

[@calebheney302]

well, now I know why mike isn't a vocalist

[@wellmaxmedia]

Caleb Heney he did the backing vocals in dream theater

[@calebheney302]

wellmax that doesnt count

[@Just.Kidding]

Caleb Heney lmao why does that not count? Vocals are vocals.

[@royalcat10]

Well, depending on the part, backing vocals typically are more just to add in harmonies rather than having a nice vocal texture. So even if you are a bad vocalist, you usually can pull off backing vocals just fine. But more over, drumming and singing at the same time usually don't mesh well. It's just too much splitting of attention to have both the drums and vocals sound nice. Some people can pull it off, but those are outliers, and they usually tone down the complexity of the drums during their vocal sections. This is one of the reasons you usually don't have the drummer be the main vocalist of any band.

[@wiggy009]

Actually he did lots of singing in DT especially almost lead like parts like in the best of times

[@Fire-Queen]

"Thank you very much, I can now actually preform like a True professional" 😂😂🙈🔥🔥🔥 ❤️
