It surprises me that you use to listen to POD lol they were one of my favorites in high school I saw them live a few times. I was in a rock bad in high school and we did alot if covers from POD. We did Southtown, bullet the blue sky (which was a U2 song that pod covered) boom and a couple more we also covered alot of other stuff. We sucked but it was alot of fun. We got to open for some really cool bands at a couple live shows. My older brother is really good and his band is really good we opened for then one time that was alot of fun.
growing up i listened to a lot of metal, some punk, and i guess what you would call nu-metal
then i became a christian and dabbled in what would be marketed as christian rock
still not sure how i feel about it, but thats a discussion for another day
thats when i started listening to POD, evanescence, tourniquet, saviour machine, that kind of stuff
on a side note...are you familiar with the evanescence song called tourniquet?
its actually a toned down cover of song by a band called soul embraced (almost feels like the acoustic version) of the original
anyway, me and my buddies would get together and jam out
we would play the music like soul embraced and have my wife sing the way Amy lee does, now that sounded awesome
