Good statement video. This guy was awesome.

LoydChristmas 11/7/2012 8:28:18 AM

fck trying to search for someone who can play all the songs and just offer this alan dude the job. full blown search for a drummer of the right caliber would be a nightmare.

anonymous 11/7/2012 8:40:22 AM

well he just seems like a real nice young man. whoever these 'bdm' characters are are losing a fine member.

Shannon was perfect for TBDM.Seems to me hes trying to find a way to make more money.

anonymous 11/7/2012 9:00:18 AM

So he leaves shit band All That Remains for BDM and leaves to jam with Adam D? He's a whiny metalcore fan at heart.

unvisitedgrave 11/7/2012 9:37:22 AM

Wife wanted him home.

dirk_badoodi 11/7/2012 9:38:53 AM

Too bad. Nice guy and one of the best metal drummers around. Hopefully the dude from Abigail Williams will be an adequate replacement.

anonymous 11/7/2012 9:45:19 AM

anonymous 11/7/2012 9:47:18 AM

Never has done projects in high school. Huge fan of God Forbid. Cant wait to drink Budweiser with Randy.

anonymous 11/7/2012 12:05:28 PM

He left All That Remains cause Phil Labonte is a complete tool. He left Black Dahlia cause they are metal elitists. Adam D is a fckin bro tho yo

AnalButt 11/7/2012 2:06:49 PM

Earlobe modifactions aside, this guy is solid as fck on some drums. Gay name, but that's not his fault.

anonymous 11/7/2012 8:37:01 PM

Alan is a more than adequate replacement. watch his vids.

bellini 11/7/2012 8:48:49 PM

OH NO! How will we ever go on? I can't believe people care about this... music is so fcking dumb.

anonymous 11/8/2012 9:13:00 AM

fck yeah! Alan's a fcking good drummer and awesome dude. congrats!

anonymous 11/8/2012 10:25:52 AM

Great guy. met him. fck lambgoat haters.

anonymous 11/8/2012 1:00:21 PM

I seen Alan play a blast beat before, he's fast so he's good, cause he's fast at blast beats. that's why he's a good replacement, and why he's good at being fast

anonymous 11/8/2012 2:51:02 PM

I seen Alan play a blast beat before, he's fast so he's good, cause he's fast at blast beats. that's why he's a good replacement, and why he's good at being fast It's too bad cause they really should've gotten someone who's slow at playing blast beats.

sandpaperseatbelts 11/9/2012 7:42:43 AM

So there's only two original members left in the band? That's cool. Will be drinking at the atx show Dec 1st. Will hang out for Machine Head. Leave for metallocalypse or whatever.

purplesabbath87 11/9/2012 10:25:07 AM

he made BDM into what they are since their guitarist left. They won't get any bigger. Great drummer, but you got to accept reality at some point and money talks

anonymous 11/10/2012 6:59:08 AM

"anonymous 2 days ago he filmed this while taking a shit." <--- read this while taking a shit and not giving a shit at the same time
