Am I the only one whose eyes only read "Araya" and thus was under assumption that somehow Tom Araya of SLAYER was filling in for this gay band?

I know, but I guess sarcastic self-parody is a little hard to translate over the internet.

Go figure. :P

the guy likes msi, maybe thats also why he said yes to filling in on bass, and thine eyes bleed is a great band. you butt metal fags need to get you're head out of your asses and try listening to something other then the same butt metal ya listen too and try new things perhaps.

Butt metal? if anything, that's a title I would call MSI, Not the bands I listen to. you try telling Glen Benton of deicide that he makes butt metal, and see what kind of uppercut you get. you call MSI or Marilyn Manson Butt metal, and all you'll get is a rant about how people are close-minded. :p

Not to mention the fact that, if anybody on this site is constantly looking for new things ot listen to, it's me. MSI and thine Eyes bleed ar ebands that I knew about years ago, and didnt like them then, and still don't, mostly because they suck, and because there are far better bands out there for me to waste my time on.

TEB are boring. So are MSI. I saw about 30 seconds of their live set at Soundwave last year and it was enough for me.

Wiggles -- He did background vocals on a few songs off that album. Yeah, he was just a kid then, but I guess he just wanted to be a part (even a really small one) of his brother's CD..

John Araya? Haha, Thine Eyes Bleed was from my old town... I wonder why John would've been there. Maybe he lived there or something, but even now I still don't get it.

Anyway, I'm a fan of MSI. They're a bunch of great, fun-loving people without a care in the world about what everyone else thinks. :) My brother went to a concert of theirs and loved it. Best of luck to both MSI and Araya!

I've only heard a few MSI songs and they didn't do anything for me. I don't understand the hype. But good luck to them either way, they're still musicians doing what they enjoy. I haven't heard Thine Eyes Bleed but I've not heard very many positive things. Anyone here that thinks they're worth checking out?
