HORSE THE BAND Keyboardist Presents His Thoughts On Life, Love, And Metal

October 26, 2007

MetalSucks and HORSE THE BAND keyboardist Erik Engstrom, aka Lord Gold, have teamed up for exclusive tour blogs from the road on HORSE THE BAND's current tour. This week, Erik shares his thoughts on what it means to be metal. An excerpt from the diary follows:

"One time I met this guy. He was the drummer for a popular death metal band. Before a show, you might think a death metal band would be trying to drink every beer backstage, setting up a recording device in the girls' bathroom, and stealing bottles of obscure liquor from the bar. But you are wrong. What really was happening was the normal brutal band routine. The drummer was warming up with rudiments on his drum pad in the back room for four hours. The two guitarists were on their Macbooks playing Internet Boggle, their singer was pacing around doing vocal exercises in the middle of everyone, and their bassist was taking a nap after doing a photo shoot with PETA."
