50. How much has this band influenced you? Very much. They taught me that life has its losses and eventually there is a way to get over it. Frank inspired me to to practice guitar more often, Gerad's lyrics helped me mentally heal over hard times, Ray reminded me that insane hair is nothing to be ashamed of, Mikey taught me that being yourself is one of the best things you can do.. They all mean a lot to me and I'm so glad that they decided to make music instead of cartoons. (they do make cartoons but to go with themes for albums). They all also let me know that no one is special, that means that if you take a look around, everyone else has pain.
