MYSPACE NOTE FOR BANDS: Please don't post ads for your shows on our page or leave comments that are just banner ads for your band. That's what the bulletins and events are for. You should consider being our friend advertising enough, morons. Also, we're doing an experiment and not adding any bands as friends for awhile, just to see how many human beings are actually out there, and how many are just adding everyone with the word "metal" in their profile.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
