that is painful, tbdm probably isn't new to rejection though. I mean that in a good way?

when I was 18 I had trash music taste but that's unrelated to my embarrassing Adam D thing. I subscribed to their fan group from their website and they held a contest where the random winners would receive two tickets and meet & greet passes for the Music As A Weapon tour, 2009. I won two tickets and was super hyped, I was a huge fan of KsE at the time and Adam was a profound inspiration of a musician to me. Me and a friend went to the show and went into the m&g which took place right as Lacuna Coil started. We had a few shots of Jack beforehand and also smoked a j with some random people on the street because we didn't have a lighter for some reason and they did. So I was feeling pretty good. KsE's crew had us all line up on a wall before they all came out and greeted us, and as Adam walks up, I just kinda went full on stan mode and shouted "YOU ARE A GOD" at him. This makes him instantly freeze and look right in my eyes for a couple seconds before he takes a step towards me and makes this screwed up face and goes "huuuHHHHH??" Kinda like Tim Allen. I was instantly embarrased, but that didn't stop me from minutes later getting a photo with Howard, and when we went to pose I put my entire hand on the back of his head like a wizard's orb. He did not like this, but he let it happen and after the picture just gave me a glance and said "Don't do that." My friend with me jokingly told Howard "just punch him in the face, dude" to which Howard replied "nah I can't do that" and went to greet the next person.

this memory is painful to me everyday and I hope that whole band forgets I exist.

don't even tell me black hearts into zombie isn't the best 1/2 punch in metalcore

As someone who has adored this album and band since release, I must be one of the only ones who feels like those are two of the "weaker" songs on this. But that idea has serious list potential.



Romeo-a-go-go -> Off Broadway

Hive Minds -> If you've got it at five, you've got it at fifty

This glorious Nightmare -> Giles

In Division -> Catch Myself Catching Myself

Fixation on the Darkness -> My Last Serenade

Control is Dead -> Morning Waits (two personal favorites, obv wouldn't be everyone's choice)

Album Rating: 4.0

Concubine -> Fault & Fracture



Panasonic Youth -> Sunshine



Slice Paper Wrists -> Nerdy

Album Rating: 4.5

Black Hearts into Zombie is up there but yeah good choices above. Would also include



Reset -> Homecoming



Pleasant Bullet -> Crystal Lake



Everyone Looks So Good From Here -> To Whom It May Concern

"I am begging you to share that photo."

I hope Susi finds his way back to Unearth. Should’ve never left. I bet dude is full of regret right about now.

Lol kudos for posting it. It’s so funny that younger you is just like “I should grab his bald head during the picture, that’d be sick!”

Unearth won't let Susi or Nick back in at this point

Ah you never know



Esp with Susi he's part of the essence of what makes Unearth Unearth. IDK how bad the fallout was but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see him back with them eventually. IIRC they couldn't stand Mike J and he's back fifteen years later killing it.

Crazier things have happened. Such as an attempted wife murderer being let back in their band.

Album Rating: 4.5

As much as it pains me to say, Unearth have been really mid at best after Watchers of Rule (probably their best album imo). I don't know what happened, but even if they were to let Ken and Nick back in, they'd still never be as good.

Howard's face just says "is this really happening right now?" Lmao.

oh my god that story man lmao. thanks for sharing. adam d seems like such a cool dude. one of my fav personalities in metal.
