Evening all I write lyrics. Im not really great with the tuning but i write the lyrics and a few close friends of mine in my amateur band-FakeReality kinda work on it ourselves. May I ask Arioch, what was it that drew you to Manson's earlier works? I am more metal myself. i tend to stick to the classics though, Aerosmith, AC/DC, metallica, slayer Cannibal corpse. the old rock and metal stuff ya know?
