I have no clue whoever it is they won't suck.

How'd you guys come up with the band name?

A bit cliche, but who are your main influences as a guitarist? And what guitarists in modern bands, metal or otherwise, are you a fan of?

hey, kind of an off question, but what kinds of scales do you use, if any, to write your solos, or whatever you call em, thanks!

Mark, thanks for taking time to answer some questions man. I've been following Suicide Silence for a while now, saw you guys open the Unearth, Darkest Hour, August Burns Red tour back in 2007 and became a fan that day. Since then you guys have established yourselves as a headlining act, and opened on huge tour bills. Did you ever imagine you'd be sharing the same stage with the likes of Megadeth, Slayer,etc? And for the cliche question, you have any tips for the younger metal bands out there?

Good luck supporting The Black Crown, have a good one dude!

I don't have one really? I like Superbeast cuz I like cover songs... I don't think it's on the album though? I like a song we called Vibe but I don't even know what the actual name is haha

Who would be your dream support on a headlining tour?

Nowadays I really like After the Burial and Mastadon. I listen to all kinds of shit tho.

Difficult question to answer and thanks for the support, I remember that tour like it was yesterday.
First off: I am not a cocky person but I always knew I'd be in a band as my job, I have been doing this since I was 14. Sharing the stage with Slayer? I just dreamed the dream and tried to attain the goal. It's a dream come true. And my advice is don't take advice just be yourself and don't take yourself seriously and remember this is fun.
