All this time, and we still haven't learned.
What Feeds The Fire. Possibly the best time, musically, for me. I didnt write a plethora of songs, or even record with this band, but being in the band for the short time i was, i made the closest friends and had the best/worst experiences i could have.
From the local shows we played almost every weekend, to "that one tour", as myself and Jim refer to it now, it was all great. This is the band that created Verse and Soul Control and in a weird way it inspired Have Heart to become the biggest thing in hardcore today. I recently came across a bunch of pictures of What Feeds The Fire, so....here they are.
Me and Sean, Richmond Virginia. Note the "Count Me Out" shirt. If you know me at all, me wearing that shirt means i must have spilled food on my At The Gates long sleeve or something and needed something quick to change into...
This is from "that one tour" in chicago after we played the Metro. Its that place that EVERYONE vegetarian and vegan go to after shows at the metro, you wait like 3 hours for a table and get sub par food...
This is a crew shot of a bunch of people we met in the mid-west...i think it was Ohio. Beaver Creek? memory is shot from all the weed. But the following few pictures were the same crew...
This next picture is one of those pictures that im going to hang on to for a long time.
This is the middle of an ongoing No-Limit Texas Hold'em game that Myself, Aaron and Pete from Bane and Jim C. were playing. we played it each night before and after the show, for days...This particular moment was in the basement of the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco... oh and this game created an ongoing "poker bond" that me and Aaron share to this day. and i think its the only documented photo of Jim playing cards.
Oh, i won.
This is What Feeds The Fire, and also, WFTF and our buddy Tom Z. at this photo spot in Echo Utah.
Here is Sean...
Here is all of us:
And here is me like, 6 years later, on my drive out to California when i moved in August 2008.
This is Sean at Hellfest 2002. Merauder was playing in the background.
And while im at it, here is a video from the same show:
These last few were taken at one of our final shows. July 26th 2003, Worcester MA, Palladium. All following photos by the wonderful Reverend Aaron @ returntothepit.com
Thanks for always documenting awesome shows...
Mark & Sean
Me
Jim
Sean:
Anthony:
Mark:
And, the set list......
In case you cant read it, it goes like this:
Intro
Take it back/outsider
Letting Go/ Live Or Die
Guilty / Whats Inside
GB Cover/ To The Fullest
Without The Weapon / Set Me Free
Never
No Way To Live / Still Waiting Dude!
I have a weak spot in my heart for this band and time of my life. It was the combination of the friendships and the level of shows we were playing at the time which made it most memorable. A "reunion" will never happen. The band has passed away and many new musical projects have happened since. I will always look back on this experience as the single most important thing i have done musically.
Thanks Dudes.
(most pictures in this post were taken by people other than me. So, i take no credit for any pictures other than the one of myself in Echo utah. Thanks.)

Something about me you didn't know.
So, February of 2007 was strange. After getting home from being on tour playing guitar in Reggie & The Full Effect, I was called on by James Dewees to "help out My Chemical Romance". By help out, he meant leave your life behind and tour the entire globe and in between tune some guitars and basses for the band. SO, the 2nd day I had been home, after being away for over a month, im back on tour. A couple things about this...
I had only heard MCR on MTV and maybe one or two times when my friend Mark played them. In fact, i remember a day where Me, Mark and Jim were sitting in my living room, watching the Helena video and making fun of it the entire time.
Also, I had no idea at the popularity of the band. I agreed to "help out" not knowing a thing about the magnitude of the tour or band. I got to Nassau Coliseum one day of the last week of February and thus began about 6 months of experience not many get to have.
I toured the entire United States, Canada, Europe, UK, Scandinavia, Japan and Russia.

***After this show, all of Muses' crew and half of MCR and 13 crew members came down with severe food poisoning. So bad, many shows needed to be cancelled and many people actually were hospitalized between Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Luckily I didn't catch it, and had a few days off in a row. The first few days though, the production and stage and everything was set up according to a regular day schedule. We did it 3 days in a row, setting up the whole production, and tearing it down before we just all together cancelled shows up to the Bamboozle fest in NJ, but then cancelled the show after that and shows finally resumed in Worcester MA, but Muse headed back home to the UK, because their crew were still very sick.

8th- Dublin Ireland *** right before MCR takes the stage, i tell Frank that this was going to be my last show working for MCR. I couldn't handle being away any more.
I started off working exclusively for Mikey Way and James Dewees, being a Bass/Keyboard tech. Then in mid April 2007, Mikey needed to leave for a while, and the guy, Matt Cortez, who was Fran Iero's guitar tech started filling in on bass while Mikey was gone. When this switch happened, Frank asked if i would tech for him as well, and, me being the nice guy i am, i obliged, so i spent 4 months teching and working for 3 band members. It got a little hectic here and there. Having the bass rig go silent mid song while the guys are playing Wembley Stadium, opening for Muse in a sold out venue with 75,000 people there....its stressful, i thought i was going to be fired that night. Franks pedals going out in texas and him ripping an Octave pedal off his pedalboard and throwing it into the crowd....that didnt accomplish anything.
Well...heres some pictures.

A huge overhead light fell from the upper truss and fell a foot from me. Guitar rigs and keyboards were filled with water. Audio and spotlight towers collapsed and multiple people in the crowd got hurt.
