God Forbid – Corey Pierce, Drums

Here’s a quick 10 piece Q&A with the man behind the skins of GOD FORBID, Corey Pierce.

1 – What band do you think is most critical to the success of todays’ Metal scene? Why?

I would probably have to say LAMB OF GOD. I think because PANTERA is gone. They are looking for the band that meets the same standard. There won’t EVER be another Pantera(my favorite metal band of all time btway). But I love LOG and I think people hold them in their hearts more than any other band comin up.

2 – Why did you choose to start playing the drums? Who inspired you the most?

Because I am not very bright obviously. Shoulda stuck to harmonica. Seriously it was just one of those things that happened I could play piano and guitar but the drums just spoke to me. Plus you got to hit stuff. It’s really hard to say who inspired me the most but I would say Ken Schulk of CANDIRIA gave me the direction I needed to be the player I am today.

3 – Earthsblood release is a few weeks away, tells us what people should look for in your playing on this album?

They should look for the subtle nuances within my playing. There are tons of really groovin, heavy and aggressive licks. The things I want people to discover; the little things that give any album its own soul.

4 – Do you prefer touring the big festivals outside or the small clubs indoors?

Well personally I like small arenas. I just think that on that level everything goes more according to plan and schedule. I also love walkin out and seein all those people screamin and goin crazy. IT’S GODDAMN ELECTRIC! Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing like a packed sweaty fuckin club to make your balls drop. . haha

5 – What is your dinner of choice while on the road?

Steak and potatoes when I can get it. BEEF BITCHES CArNIVORES RULE!

6 – What is one genre of music if you had the power to make it disappear you would?

Whiney ass emo rock that doesn’t rock. I’m sick of soft ass suburban spoiled bitches [that] cry on records. We used to have men in this country, now it’s all about metrosexual dudes and manicures. WTF???????? I’m sorry, I’m a little old school.

7 – You’re the last man on earth and you’re stuck in NJ and you know the last woman on earth is in France, what do you do?

Start learning how to fly or perhaps just get a HUGEEEE bottle of lotion.

8 – What are your 3 high points so far in your musical career?

1. Playing Download festival
2. Show with us, SLAYER and SLIPKNOT in IOWA! yah fuckin crazy
3. Making EARTHSBLOOD

9 – If you could play drums for any other band (past or present), who would that be and why?

Pantera! FOR ALL THE OBVIOUS REASONS BUT MOSTLY CAUSE THEY WERE THE BADDEST OF ALL TIME EVER!

10 – What do you think of SMNnews and will you go to WWW.SMNNEWS.COM to read this?
