Maybe that's what makes them so much fucking better than a lot of other similar bands. Fucking sexy basslines.

Emim: I think that was my point. My statement wasn't hypocritical. I forget where I read it but Schuylar specifically said that Matt, Steve and Adam had all been playing together in high school, and they went to opposing high schools. Schuylar then joined the band and McKenzie joined the band years later. Also I'm from NC (completely NOT bragging) and I know some people that grew up playing in bands with those guys, and everyone says the same thing. So that wasn't an assumption, it was an informed statement that has not only the band backing that statement by saying those things in interviews but also people that were around during that time and have told me the history of the band. I don't consider that an assumption. Just sayin.

No, the assumption you made was regarding his contributions to songwriting. The rest has thus far been uncorroborated.

Ok, well, let me also mention the interviews where they have been asked how the songwriting process goes and more times than not the phrase "Adam and Steve get in the practice space and write the bulk of material", or some variation of that. I believe you call that cooberation and also furthers conveys the idea that Bell wasn't a big collaborator in the songwriting process.

"How does the songwriting process in the band work? It is individuals contributing full tunes for review or is there a jam component?

Adam Tanbouz: It is usually me and Steve or me, Matt and Steve in our practice room. I’ll have an idea and throw it out there and Matt will tell me if it’s cool or Steve will tell me if it’s cool. Then we’ll just sort of build on that one central idea until it becomes a song."

Again. NOT an assumption.

This is a question about writing Suck Out the Poison, and it's a very silly answer but Tanbouz mentions neither Bell or Williams...

"How did you proceed for the composition ?

Me and Steve holed up in our special underwater rehearsal rooms for about a month and a half, that’s where we held special druid councils and consulted our rubics cube to construct logarithms that aided in our song writing."

All these things are easy to find and further back up my statement, and gah, they really make it seem like I didn't make an assumption when it comes to McKenzie being a major writer in He Is Legend.

"Can you remain[sic] to us the story of He Is Legend?

Basically me (Adam Tanbouz) met Steve the drummer in high school, and we started messing around in his upstairs room, playing Limp Bizkit and Pantera covers, he had been playing with Matt the bassist for a while at that point, so we all formed a band... years later we decided to apprehend Schuylar as a vocalist, so basically we've been playing together for ages, but doing the He Is Legend thing for only about 3 or 4 years or so."

Again, not even a mention of Bell.

lol, I honestly cannot believe you took the trouble to transcribe the relevant parts of those interviews.



Also, depending on when those were done, it would make sense not to include the person that left the band, even when reminiscing about the creation of the band.



Me and Steve holed up in our special underwater rehearsal rooms for about a month and a half, that’s where we held special druid councils and consulted our rubics cube to construct logarithms that aided in our song writing."




I move to declare this inadmissible as evidence.

Already mentioned that when I said songwriter, I meant lyricist.

Nobody mind Andi, he's just having a little period. One midol and some medium fries later he'll be just fine.
