You don't need to keep up with the lives of people you don't know the media drives it into your brain that you do. Its purely stupid.
But if i like the band, which i kinda do, then i should keep up w what their doing idc abt their private lives but knowing if someone is dead or not, which totally has an effect on the status of the band matters lol
Hmmm these people not only make amazing music but also sing about things you can relate to. Gwar will always be one of my favorite bands. Just like when the rev died I literally cried. He was the one who inspired me to take my drumming more seriously, and since his passing I haven't touched a drum kit since then. Not to mention every time I seen avenged sevenfold live I had backstage passes, so I've met them several times. All these metal musicians have one way or another have inspired me in one way or another
