Seeing old band mates you toured with for years

[Cuntpunisher]

I am a professional musician, been playing in non stop touring bands for almost 15 years. I just ran across some of my old band mates from the first band I started playing death metal with. We were all 16-18. It was insane, very fun, and it was early 2005-06 and we were playing super tech odious mortem type shit. With a world of deathcore (lol). So we all became extremely close, as most touring bands do. The difference is. We lived together after tour not only on the road. So these guys became closer than family to me. Plus sharing the experiences you do just driving and spending time a bunch of different places creates a lot of memories and places for feels. Its fuckin nuts seeing these guys after 12 years. We all have kids with the exception of one. Our old singer (absolutely the most brutal voice I've ever heard with the most ridiculous power) is now a professional dirt biker dude. The other guitarist became a fuckin pizza hut owner and has a bunch of kids, the only ones still doing shit are my old drummer and bassist. They're still on relapse records which is the label we signed with originally. My band now is on willowtip and those labels dont cross promote so I never see these dudes. I'm not one to ever be on Facebook. I feel like my nuts and heart got ripped out looking at all my old homies (brothers really) I've thought about them a lot over the years and how much different of music I'd be playing if I hadn't started taking fill in positions as a touring guitarist. That's how I ended up meeting the guys I've been with now. Old band broke up, end up with one of the bands I sessioned with. The bonds we create with music and how bands make you feel like you're in a relationship with 4 other people is a fuckin trip. I've been married and divorced, got a new woman and a kid (which rules) I never ever missed my ex wife or any other bitch the way I miss my old band mates. No homo i will love those guys till i die. I could never say any of this to anyone I'm too introverted. So i figured I'd go to the only place I'm comfortable speaking my mind. A good ol death site. My entertainment on the road for YEARS.

Sorry if you read my ramblings.

What kind of music do you guys like? I am in several projects at this point ranging from western swing, blues, death metal, black metal, grindcore, and of course lol bluegrass, jazz. Fuckin taste has gotten so broad over the years.

Some close friends from other bands have died from heroin, I didnt mention that here though. This specific band I was speaking about is more of a nostalgia or ex girlfriend (when its freshly broken off but with close bandmates it never fades) feeling but way more extreme. Dats why so sad fo me.

Well at least have some solace in the fact you got to see them again. I'm a combat vet that went into that shithole in El Salvador back in the early 80's attached to the School of the Americas with 29 Ranger instructor's, including yours truly, under 2nd bat RTB advisory command, and to say we were tighter then any virgins pussy I ever popped, is an understatement! When I got hit, there were 6 of us left, the rest were taking a dirt bath, walking wounded on the way home or MIA. Because of our mission we were heavily censored. They went as far as collecting dog tags, Mil I.D. and uniforms. I was 19 running around downrange with an Reo speedwagon t-shirt and Levi's, carrying a 60 patrolling with taco-benders, But I digress. Because of the mission or where we were, IDK the VA will not release any info on any of my bros that made it back. I'd give anything in the world to see just one of those motherfuckers today! Maybe in Hell one day...so consider yourself lucky having any knowledge whatsoever of your buddies.. I envy you my friend.

Yikes man, I'm sorry. I know what you mean, the ones that have overdosed I miss the most. I'm grateful I haven't had to go into combat. That's intense and a whole bunch of fucked up. You made a ballsy move, good thing you made it out, scars be damned.

Post some of your shit Mr. Punisher, so I can have a listen...

I feel abit out of place here i this whole forum if I'm honest bcoz I'm an old skool chav (2000-2006, but still wear the same gear now and thrive of a good Nike hoodie or pair of trainers) that listens to serious Indie music 🤷🏻.
That being said I don't ever tend to say I like or dislike any kind of music I just say it's not for me (there's always someone out there that likes it right that's why it's there) but for a small range of what I can happily listen to here's 4 bands. The Maccabees, the national, Christine and the queen's, sunflower bean. 👍

 

[PieFace]

Also... First Aid Kit. Good band

Yeah ive been a part of a gorenoise/goregrind called disgorge (MEXICO) for half a decade, they formed in the early 2000s, considering this ‘genre’ is the complete base opposite of deathcore its pretty easy to make, just a bunch of distortion and gurgling but we do things right and technical…. not a bunch of 14 year old wannabes using their dads guitars and creating funny album covers and band names/logos

This was an interesting thread.. It's a shame dude didn't read the rules.. Oh well, better him than me I guess

I don't know what to call what we went through there my man. It was a fuct up situation even before we got there!

Appreciate the concern though. I forgot that I had wrote all that shit, must have been drunk, sitting alone as ai usually am. Hard to connect with anyone in this civilian world. I guess I keep comparing people I meet with those friends I had there and lost? But I'm trying to do better. Maybe it's just old age and time softening me up?
Wish you the best bro in life and again thanks for the reply. I'll try to participate more on this forum. Most people would think we're screwed up for just being on here. But from the comments I've read on here, there's no doubt in my military mind, there are some awesome peeps on here! I think watching this shit that most would be repulsed by, make us appreciate life more, which makes us very special, but not in a retarded way lol.

Wish I would have seen this sooner.
I was also in a death metal band in my younger years, pretty much just a suffocation rip off. But we split when I decided to join the service, when I got done with active duty and came back home, my bandmates had either all started families, one turned into a crackhead and one turned into a devout Christian. So now I sit, mid thirties, playing suffocation songs and smoking my self retarded to curb my PTSD.

You good buddy. I can still play a mean alto saxophone, acoustic guitar but I love to sing. I also play a pussy like a violin.
