    @@Allthemotioninwhite Yes, I get that, but that's exactly my point, In between tours and what not, in the downtime that they do have, they could be going through the submissions and giving updates about it and at the very least reacting to the submissions that they do find to be well done, much like artists like Dax does, and despite Dax also being really busy, he does find time to do those things, he even created a 30 min video on his KZread of a super remix for his song Dear Alcohol and gave alot of artists recognition for their open verses. I do understand that being in a band of that caliber can be very busy, But I do know that in between those tours and what not, there is some down time. At the very least, once a month they could react to some open verses that people submitted. They have yet to actually react to even one, but they have found time to post other stuff that is irrelevant to the challenge. So there in lies the frustration.

    My first experience with hard rock/metal was when i played prince of persia warrior within and heard that Godsmack song i was maybe 12 and lost my mind over it. I went into the bonus menu and found a cideo with it and must have replayed it 8-9-10 times. Had a friend of mine come over to watch it after school and he immediately told ke it was godsmack and burned me a copy of that disk. Went home and played it just over and over again. Then he gave me a list of bands to check out slipknot, metallica, avenged sevenfold, lamb of god, pantera, and many others. Mind you this was way before KZread existed so i had to go to limewire and download all of these. Afterwords i bought all of them since i had no money and only spent what i actually liked.

    Chris has completely omitted Manson being a major influence on him for the past 10 years. He used to talk about Manson in almost every interview in the early days. He said in an interview with a KZreadr "I want to be the next Marilyn Manson because I feel nobody has done what he did since him". He had the KZreadr delete that video not too long after because of that. Motionless opened for Manson in Australia in 2012. I'm sure they met & it didn't go well because he never spoke about Manson again after that tour until 2021 when the allegations against Manson surfaced. A fan on Twitter asked Chris what his take on it was, Chris said he stands with the victims and he won't be supporting Marilyn Manson or his music moving forward.

    @@ToniRamsI used to talk to Chris on MySpace before we blew up. We have a long personal history together. We bonded over our shared love for Marilyn Manson. He really liked me because I'm older than him & wasn't an obsessed immature teenage fan girl lol. He really is a great guy. When I met him he immediately recognized me & called me by my name. He knows I love to sing & scream so the 8x I've seen Motionless he makes it a point to come into the crowd to let me scream a line into his mic. Dedicated an old song to me by name my 7th time seeing him I can't say enough good things about Chris but yeah Manson is one of his biggest influences. Enlisting Tim Skold to produce half of Infamous making songs that sound like Golden Age Of Grotesque songs which is Chris' favourite Marilyn Manson album proves that.
