Es realmente increíble el trabajo que hace la banda completa, pero sin duda me sentí muy privilegiado de haberte escuchado en vivo en un recinto tan importante y con un audio para evento masivo; fue todo muy inspirador y agradezco que estén llevando ese show por el mundo, creo que hay en él mensajes muy importantes. Admiración y sobre todo mucho respeto a tu trabajo; gracias por cada elemento que pusiste en ese concierto. Abrazos

[@forthelasttime4005]

Estepario is fucking amazing, but his style probably wouldn't fit with per se, something more jazzy oriented for example. I'm actually surprised Resi chose him considering Resi does not cover songs front to end with blast beats and 200 bpm double kicks, but I'm still excited regardless. Really dope

Entiendo la necesidad de dar un paso más en tu crecimiento como artista y en tu versatilidad, aunque para mí tu lugar está en el metal y estoy seguro de que piensas igual. La vida a veces son decisiones que llevan a otras, y ojalá siempre tengas en claro tu sueño porque creo que a diferencia de muchos sesionistas que saltan de una banda a otra, tú tienes la destreza y la creatividad para ganarte un lugar en cualquier banda importante. Has despertado en mí la necesidad de mejorar, ser disciplinado y trabajar por mis sueños, y por eso te estaré siempre agradecido.

I honestly thought it was a mislead, and your spot on cover of Everlong was the real audition.

[@joker14n]

Josh Freese is locked into Taylor’s seat for as long as he wants. But it’s fun to think about ees drumming for anybody or everybody. The vibe he generates is incredible

[@RyanRapetti]

@@joker14n sure, but Freese has long been a utility player- super skilled and versatile, and able to drop in and play whatever is needed, which has traditionally meant he's moved around quite a bit. The idea that after a year or two of touring he might want to move on isn't outside possibility.

[@xOubax]

Haha I thought he was going to be drumming for Trung Bao! 😂

[@jw70467]

That would have been amazing. I'm happy he's excited, but personally, I'm disappointed. I don't find Residente at all compelling. There's plenty of great musicianship in some of their live performances, but the tracks themselves and their videos are not memorable in the least, and it is not a language barrier issue. And I'm sorry, but the man advocated for the release of a known criminal and likely terrorist, who amongst other things, threatened to blow up a nuclear reactor. He's no hero to me or anyone else who knows the history of FALN's activities in the United States.
