HORSE the Band are almost as well known for horsing around as they are for their acrobatic time shifts and brain-toasting music. So we kinda figured they’d waste their “Bang of the Day” plug on something like Poison or Faster Pussycat.
But guitarist David Isen is pretty serious about his feelings for As I Lay Dying’s “Nothing Left.”
“I play that main riff on my guitar during soundcheck every night,” he insists. “It sounds like Metallica’s ‘Blackened,’ but it still rules. Watching this video is purifying because it makes you realize the emptiness of life on earth. Once you see that you have nothing left, you can move on to something more — something eternal.”
There’s that life-affirming metal spirit we rely on to make it from one day to the next. Now, where did we leave our box of razorblades?
