IF YOU WANT TO BE ADDED, MESSAGE ME FIRST (or put a brief message in your friend request, along with your name/band name)! IF YOU DON'T, I WILL TREAT YOUR REQUEST LIKE SPAM AND DELETE IT! I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I'm tired of lending out my page as an advertising space for bands. If I like your band, I'll probably add it; if not, no hard feelings.
