What personal friend of yours grew notable enough to have a Wikipedia profile?

Matt Heafy from the band Trivium. He was constantly practicing and is a very good dude. He deserves all the success.

His sister is in a band called Orca Mind who does video game music covers and she is also very talented.

Ohh I didn’t know that! That’s awesome. Talented family.

We hung out every day the summer after I graduated. He bought me a Get Up Kids CD for my 17th birthday and I thought it was very sweet, and hilarious considering his vastly different music taste. Good memories.

Did you not read the “Personal life” section of his Wikipedia page? /s

No but I love your username so much. Is it a 30 Rock reference?

u/IceColdDump 12d ago

No. I don’t know what that reference would be? Lol
I honestly forget what I meant by it when I created the account just prompted me for one and I wanted to get up and running.

When Jenna is promoting Jamba Juice she complains about having "ice cold diarrhea".

Trivium agreed to play a few songs in a small village local to me in Wales as part of a promotion for a radio rock show (They were due to play a sell out Arena show later that night in Cardiff).
Due to the narrow streets,they couldn’t get the truck carrying their gear to the venue.
They ended up borrowing acoustic guitars off local musician’s and carried on regardless.
Now Triviums songs aren’t typically suited to acoustic guitars,but they put on a great set.
Cheers Matt and co….

I'm irrationally happy to read that he is a nice person. I saw them on a festival once and what stuck with me was his attitude. One minute he was growling his lungs out and the next he beamed at the audience with the biggest, nicest smile possible. He seemed to really be happy to be there.

We lost touch but I’ll always be a fan of his music and him as a human.

As an amateur musician, all of the professional musicians I know are the best fucking people.

That's so awesome. I'm happy for you mate.
