Thumbs up if you heared hollywood undead in the back

[imbueto]

this aint a pissin contest yall...

it doesnt matter what or how much youve done, its about the fact you woke-up and quit.......

[winterfrost99]

Did anybody realize that hollywood undead was playing in the background?

I'm so proud of you Brent. When I was eleven years old I started to take drugs like crystal and speed. Now I'm clean and I hope and think you will stay that, too.

(Bad english I'm from germany)

I love this band.

@harvestsoulfly dude, my sperm donor fuckin SLEPT w/ a beer under his pillow. he's got so many problems from drugs & alcohol, he's too far gone. i've got a friend who's had to take care of her coked up & strung out parents for most her life. yet here u sit behind a screen, bashing someone for having a beer every now & then? i'd have to agree with gleetron. at least he admits his mistakes & moves forward to try & learn from them

[ForeverSunny3]

Brent is the perfect musician. He's so talented, and has the most incredible voice i've ever heard.  His lyrics are deep and beautiful. He's not a screw up talent, and he changed his life around. And all this makes him sexy I guess. Shinedown is the best band...ever.

brent's one of the few guys that has his head on straight. my sperm donor of a birth dad's an alcoholic & from what my mom has told me about him, i wouldn't doubt he's tried nearly everything under the sun. sure, there were the few moments where he was a decent guy & everything, but he was never really there for me or my brothers. being there for ur kid to help 'em w/ anything u can or just a comforting hug is being a parent. the fact that he's quit for his son is pretty damn remarkable

[gleetron]

@harvestsoulfly everyone is different. who are you to judge this man, pouring his life out? what have you done in life that can measure up to what Brent has done? we all make mistakes, at least he's man enough to admit them and move on. it's called taking it "one day at a time."

@CelticBhoyLiam brought back memories of KFMA Day 2011 when I heard that in the background, had a blast =)

@harvestsoulfly yea you cant drink and not think shits going to happen, im a recovering heroin junky and if i were to drink, my as well get a needle ready to go, cause thats where it will lead me

[harvestsoulfly]

Drink a twelver and put some 80mg OC's in your hand and see what happens. Seems like a week testimony with a beer in your hand bro. Keep it real.
