Here I am. Greg Weeks from The Red Chord is around to answer your questions no matter how dim-witted or irritating they are. I also play bass in Beyond the Sixth Seal. Go get their record "The Resurrection of Everything Tough" out now on Metal Blade, if you want.
Question:is anus the only vagina?
Greg's response:
Do you people see what I have to deal with. Ahhh… No, the vagina is the only vagina, the anus is for birthdays and anniversary's.

So I had a listen to the fresh track off the smokin new album, and it sounded to my untrained ears as though the bass drum was recorded with a mic instead of triggers? Is this true? If so, my hat's off to you guys along with Between the Buried and Me and the Black Dahlia Murder. I'm getting tired of seeing shitty drummers with triggers just tapping their Axis longboards as fast as possible without making any sound worthy of having balls. If this is a triggered sound that just happens to sound really authentic, then my hat is off to you for at least not sounding like Job For a Cowboy or Kataklysm (as much as I like them) with really fake sounding triggered drums.

Greg's response:
I like that… fresh and smokin'. It's true, the great Bradley Fick does not use triggers nor should he. I'm not a huge fan of triggers and I am lucky enough to be in a band with a super talented drummer who does not need them. If we just curb his addiction to Taco Bell he would in fact be "The" perfect drummer. Oh Brad,

hey, I'm Logan from Iowa, that kid with that pants… I always forget to ask you this… What are some of your favorite bands?
Greg's response:
So this is not too awkward let me explain. Whenever we play Iowa young Logan comes out and stands in the front row with these snake skin pants. It rules. Instead of me listing of my favorite bands how about if I give you some advice. Get more pants! Not different ones, more of the ones you have. They rule. Also, if you want the plastic ones that I wore in your honor just let me know. They're yours,

Is it true that Gunface is both horrible at bowling and a loser at poker? Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon
-Dave Witte
Greg's response:
Ah, Dave Witte, a God amongst men. It is very true. You see, Mike is one of the greatest guitar players in metal right now and in order for that to happen he had to sacrifice other things like poker skills and hygiene. By the way, I'm sure you've all heard of Dave's band Municipal Waste right? Go get their new record "The Art of Partying" available now. It's better than your bands record. Love ya Dave,
