.... and funk, to name a few. Much of the music had no singing and the songs were very long and complicated, involving different parts and many complicated solos.

"We are the youth/We'll take your fascism…. In the year 2000," he howls, Hetfield-like. How he proposes that "the youth" do this, however, is left unanswered. Some people actually hoping the .....

.... and asked him to join the band. He agreed but he also played in another band at the time. Fish taught himself how to play the drums by locking himself in his room and trying to copy the sound of bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. When he moved to college, he started to move toward jazz and hardcore. Now, all they needed was a bass player. The three placed flyers all over campus and the first replay was Mike Gordon which joined the band soon after. Unlike Fish, Mike received formal training from a bass instructor.
