About the john list symphony
The John List Symphony was formed in early 2007 by Jim and Keith, after the epic failure and disbanding of New Jersey super group Dark Disdain. After questing for what seemed like ages for other "brothers of metal", and writing oodles of songs on guitar pro and p-tab with a drum machine, like the losers they are....I mean musicians, they saw themselves with a little glimmer of hope in a craigslist add. After hastily responding, setting up a jam, and hoping they don't gang raped, they quickly find themselves playing with drummer Ryan Vogt and guitarist Jim Preto(now in band, bang bang bang aka TripleShot) and NO VOCALIST. After a couple months still without a VOCALIST, guitarist Jim announced that he reluctantly had to step down do to personal reasons. TJLS, crushed and distraught about losing Jim, once again are forced to set out and quest for another guitarist to fill his spot.... After months of an awkward(that's what they say) man love triangle between Jim, Keith, and Ryan, two guitar prospects came out of nowhere, Brent Fucking Evans, and Jeremy Miller. After weeks of grueling auditioning and torturous rehearsing, Jeremy was awarded the spot, due to Brents' lack of attendance. HAHA, Brent you suck. So for the next couple months, TJLS and their awesomely cool NEW guitarist Jeremy, spent their time practicing as a four piece, avidly seeking a suitable vocalist for their music, auditioning hordes people and still finding no one. Then on a perfect August summer eve, just like that they stumble upon another craiglist add...this time for a vocalist.... but crap its 2 weeks old. Regardless, our heroes(aka douche bags) Jim and Keith still hopeful he'll be the one, respond hoping that the super cock, vocalist hopeful, hasn't found a unworthy band, unsuitable for his keen vocal prowess. After what really was ages they finally found the one. David yay!!! Instantly TJLS and David knew that they were meant to take over the world together, literally after jamming for only 30 seconds.... Both thinking never before has such brutal vocal abilities been placed over such beautiful intricate guitar work. This ladies and gentlemen, truly is the beginning of what we know today as TJLS.... One would think it should or would be a fairy tale ending, but a year later, just as everything is going good, right then, at that exact moment, Ring!!!, a phone call from Ryan, guys "I think I broke my ankle!!! Its pretty bad it's kinda dangling when I lift my leg up and I feel the bones shifting around." TJLS with their backs up against the wall, decide they have to press on and at least find a substitute or replacement because they cant stop now. Its funny how things just work out... Mr. Brent Fucking Evans decides to show his silly face at a practice one day shortly after Ryans' tragic news. TJLS still being very interested in having a 3rd that's right 3rd guitarist, ask Brent if he'd like take part in the albatross( aka TJLS). He agrees and mentions that he was jamming with a drummer dude named Kevin Murder.... and that's where we leave off with our tale.....
