@@consumedbydeceit5942 It's easier said than done in the music industry. Besides, his flunks, if nothing else, have just proven how much his nuts hang for taking risks. Most bands take the always trying to sound the same approach, and most don't see the least little shimmer of success. Dave isn't one of those though, because not only does he still have it vocally and instrumental, but he has already cemented himself as a metal god. Point blank, no discussion.
