Anyone who’s ever been in a band, knows someone who liked to party. And inevitably, the line between fun, and tragic got crossed. Actually…it’s not unique to bands. Everyone knows someone like this. The guys wrote this thing that was a little Metal Church\/Queensryche-like. It was kind of Prog. And it begged for something more than the silliness we were known for.\u00a0 Overall, we were from the Van Halen school. It was 1990. We were all between 19 & 23. We just wanted to write great riffs, and fun songs. Little did we know how depressing music was about to get when Grunge happened. In any event, this song called for something a bit deeper.\u00a0 So, I thought about friends we lost to drugs, alcohol, and the ignorance of youth. And this was the result.<\/p>\n

\n Destined to fail, on the road to no end<\/em>
