[The Metal Guy]

Because I play a lot of gigs at school, I'll shower before I go to the venue, and then after we set up and soundcheck I might wander down to the locker rooms and take another shower. After that, I'll get something to eat and sit in a circle with the bandmates and maybe the MCs for the event and just BS.
