    A variation on this I'd like to see is to do this whole random song thing. Then once it's done, take the drums out and send it to a drummer to see what they come up with.

    This just shows how integral tommy is to btbam. Nearly any metal track with his scream sounds like btbam. Its insane how he just opens his mouth and you know exactly who it is and you know its going to crush. Dudes is a living legend

    I see Tommy...I get excited. It's that simple.
    Edit: HOLY SHIT!!! That was epic. I love BTBAM, and this certainly had a BTBAM feel. Tommy is so versatile being able to adapt to different grooves and stuff. I need this song on Spotify. If it ever makes its way on there, it's definitely a regular listen for me.

    Modern metal sucks big time. BTW, just understanding the structure of songs and recognizing what makes a good song doesn't necessaril make you write good songs, just like understanding the visual compositions and colors of Michelangelo or DaVinci doesn't mean you can make a painting like they did
