I just want to say I fucking love the Descendents. I also highly recommend the One Life One Chance Podcast (H2O singer) that has interviewed Brett Gurewitz, Tim Armstrong, Milo Auckermann, Trever Keith, Jim Lindberg, Chris Carrabba (yes you emos), Matt Skiba, HR from Bad Brains, etc. etc. etc.
And of course the Avenged's drummer is Brooks Wackerman...Former drummer of Bad Religion, and he used to fill in for the Vandals when Josh Freese was doing his absurd thing with Perfect Circle and many others. Tony Sly
