some songs, he's never at practice, never does anything, sucks at guitar, and
beside the fact that he wrote all the songs, and is always at practice, and does a
lot, and kicks ass at guitar, he still s off too much...ok so that was a lie
too, nevermind he's not the least favorite
Why does music suck: It doesn't! YOU SUCK!! although I don't like the cRAP
that's called music and leads innocent teens and preteens to believe that wearing

Explain why Brad and Ben are still in the band after making this quiz: Brad-No idea;
Ben-He plays drums, and drums are more important, and therefore Ben is
important, more important than a bass, which is really just a guitar with fewer
and fatter strings for those who can't play guitar but want to feel cool
I have the most amazing girlfriend ever
