Spot on tired of "I used to be" sounds like bar stories where people talk of I drank 45 beers last night and had sex with 5 women - a joke.

LOL....so true. If you can squat 400lbs, they used to do 600, with no belt and for reps, while jerking off..... ::)

How weird. I was going through to see what happened to the singer for Steve Vai on Sex and Religion cuz he had a great voice and couldn't remember his name. Saw it was Devin and freaked out at what I saw. That dude had changed bigtime with the Skullet. I saw him in a small club in St. Louis in '93. So I was on youtube for a few hours checking out his stuff with strapping young lad and the DTB plus other stuff. Great musician. Not only the hardest of hardcore but has some great serene listening stuff too.
