As I Lay Dying, Don Clark on Leno

Hey look, it’s Eddie Van Halen, Brad Pitt, and Lemmy from Motörhead! Actually it’s two dudes from As I Lay Dying and Don Clark from Demon Hunter, part of that Grammy thing from this past weekend.

Well, The Darkness came from England, so that at least makes sense.

It’s a shame bands are popular.

Oh come on. Please tell me I Believe In a Thing Called Love didn’t warm your heart. Awesome song.

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart.

maiden..priest..sabbath are the only bands from england that i personally like. american metal bands rule…but iam a pantera fan so what do i know???

I think you meant to say “Don Clark from Training for Utopia”… why shun the better band for being older?

why not don clark from invisible creature?
that is, after all, why he was there.

randylrocker1967: While I hate As I Lay Dying, there name does not suck solely based on the fact that they stole it from the Faulkner novel of the same name.
On 02/14/08 1:53 AM, Dave said:

My next band is going to be called The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Dave I started a folk metal skiffle outfit called Order of the Pheonix. Wanna tour?

AILD’s name wasn’t taken from the book.

Also, Focal Point > TFU.

what happend to simple metal band names like anthrax..mettalica..ya know shit for the common folk.a lot of people dont want to listen to music that takes a phd just to understand the bands fuckin name…thats whats cool about pantera…it means panther in spanish…
On 02/14/08 7:58 AM, Howard said:

Randy, I want to start a band with you called: Oh, Africa, brave Africa.
It *will be*… a laugh riot.
On 02/14/08 8:19 AM, randylrocker1967 said:

it would be a riot all right…
On 02/14/08 8:25 AM, Jay DiNitto said:

randy, for some reason I don’t think this is the right website for you.
On 02/14/08 9:18 AM, randylrocker1967 said:

what makes you say that??? you dont know me???
On 02/14/08 9:21 AM, randylrocker1967 said:

besides i like fuckin with people who think theyre so fuckin smart..but in reality theyre fuckin dumb as hell to common shit…

First of all, that FAQ says nothing about their name not coming from there. Of course it came from there, where else would it come from? It says that their lyrics have nothing to do with the book. Secondly, I love the tattoo question immediately following a Christian question…can’t look like uncool Christians.

Also, I believe you would have to know Spanish to understand Pantera, making it not so easy to decipher after all.

This entire thread is comedy gold.
On 02/14/08 9:37 AM, Jay DiNitto said:

Of course it came from there, where else would it come from?

From their heads? I don’t know. I’m not going to assume they got it from the book because it’s the same, unless they say it did.

Also, it appears I have trouble reading a few sentences properly.
On 02/14/08 9:45 AM, Seth Werkheiser said:

Besides, bands don’t read books, unless it’s the bibles they’re burning, ya know?
On 02/14/08 9:47 AM, The Theory said:

That was an awesome book. Faulkner was a genius.
On 02/14/08 10:17 AM, Jay DiNitto said:

I’m particular to A!A! myself. I actually never heard of AILD until recently, and I read a lot of stuff. I’m just not a huge Faulkner fan.

Phil Anselmo is a cobb knobbler! Tadow!
On 02/14/08 10:43 AM, sammy said:

Yeah, I bet Across Five Aprils just came up with their band name out of nowhere too.
On 02/14/08 10:46 AM, sammy said:

And Jay, here’s your proof: http://www.metalunderground.com/interviews/details.cfm?newsid=12929

Good ol’ Wikipedia.
On 02/14/08 10:54 AM, Jay DiNitto said:

Well, what I meant was that the name isn’t exactly household and it has common words, so it could have been a coincidence. If they were named Thus Spake Zarathustra, then that would be different.
On 02/14/08 10:56 AM, Steven said:

“Also, Focal Point > TFU.”

Hmmm.. I would agree with you there, but the old TFU was pretty good. I didn’t like their last album where they went all “techno.”

Long live Focal Point!

“besides i like fuckin with people who think theyre so fuckin smart..but in reality theyre fuckin dumb as hell to common shit…”

So… you like “fuckin” with yourself?

JAY HAS BEEN PWNED HARD BY A FUCKING NOOB
On 02/14/08 1:41 PM, sammy said:

“Throwin a Wrench…” is a beautifully crafted album…it’s just not as harsh and awesome as earlier stuff.
On 02/14/08 1:59 PM, Blake Garris said:

That book sucks.
On 02/14/08 2:37 PM, Jay DiNitto said:

How could I be pwned if I said I was reserving judgment? Go to the principal’s office.

Anyways, I just read on their wiki page that Tim said it was from the book and Nick said it wasn’t. I’m inclined to believe Tim more since he started the band and had a hand in coming up with the name.
On 02/14/08 2:49 PM, Chris said:

I’m surprised no band has ever used the name: “The Cask of Amontillado”. That would be pretty bad-ass if someone did. Edgar Allan Poe rocks.

To the the AILD hater aka FAGGET TOOTH! Hey F.T. sorry AILD is better than gay pantera. Sorry but i didn’t see pantera’s gay ass at the lame grammys. Go toss your dads salad. P.S. TFU is way better than Demon Hunter. Demon Hunter is as lame as the band Helmet and Smile Empty Soul. Actually if both bands had gay sex and had a child it would be called Demon Hunter, or maybe Pantera.
On 02/14/08 4:45 PM, sammy said:

Whoa, although I like Demon Hunter, I can easily understand someone hating them and thinking they suck, and I will not argue much. But Helmet? That’s going too far.
On 02/15/08 3:11 PM, randylrocker1967 said:

i bet you guys just love alien ant farm…ya know gay ass nerd metal. there isnt even a way to compare pantera to a fag ass band like as i lay dying…do you guys even listen to metal??? cause you damn sure dont know what the fuck your talkin about..just listen to..drag the waters..then listen to a song by as i lay sucking…no comparison…pantera..winner..hands down!!!!!

Dude, THE DEVILS WEARS PRADA. I’m jsut saying.
On 02/15/08 7:22 PM, Rotten Fruit Vomit said:

Randy, your gay and pantera is your bitch. Every song to you is like a dick in the ass. Yummy, give me more PANTERA in the ass.
On 02/15/08 9:10 PM, randylrocker1967 said:

ALL THIS FROM A GUY NAMED ROTTEN FRUIT VOMIT..who helped you think of that..your baby sitter???
On 02/16/08 6:45 AM, Howard said:

“Randy L Rocker” - jus’ sayin.
On 02/16/08 8:08 AM, randylrocker1967 said:

used to be just randy rocker when i played for a band in the 80s…you may have even heard of them. but iwouldnt even give you the pleasure of my true identity…you couldnt handle it..suck a fat weinner this fine saturday and be happy..jackass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On 02/16/08 11:06 PM, Jay DiNitto said:

randy, I daresay that As I Lay Dying is more metal than Pantera. Pantera threw in blues/southern rock riffs and Phil sometimes did that low-voice talking thing like he was coming on to you. Heck, they even did ballads. AILD, suck or not, plays it fast and hard almost all the time, with blast beats, double bass, and dual guitar harmonies. Plus I think they may have more tattoos per square inch of epidermal real estate.

Jus’ sayin’…
On 02/17/08 3:40 PM, randylrocker1967 said:

maybe i’ll check them out…aint never really listened to them..may even like them..who knows??
On 02/18/08 11:44 PM, mike said:

Hahaha! Jay has the power to convert people to his opinions.

Also, Across Five Aprils does have a meaning. I read in HM Magazine when they first came out that it had to do with the Civil War or something.
On 02/19/08 11:40 AM, sammy said:

yeah mike, it’s a book set in the civil war era, that’s the point i was trying to make.

AILD deserves none of this comment bs. They kick ass, an obviously no one is judging on what they sound like. Bunch of ignorant internet fux.
