Rusty - Drums - WMB 

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 

This is Rusty, Watch Me Burn's drummer. I want to thank everyone that has purchused WMB as a pet. I personally think it is awesome that so many of you love us that much.

Please do us a favor. If you want to buy WMB, how about buying the new album "At The Stake" or a t-shirt or a sticker or a button. That would show us that you REALLY love us.

I am sure some of you might be upset that you don't see your comment on our page. So many people are involved in this, that is all you would see on our comments section. Please don't take it as WMB is a bunch of douche bags for not allowing those comments. There are just to many of them.

I just wanted to clear that up for any of you curious why you have not seen comments of that nature. Thanks for your time and support.

Conceived by screamer SAWA, guitar player Kevin Fetus, drummer Rusty Reens and
bass player Russ Herpich, as a dirty/sludgy/grind/thrash with a hint of psychedelic
ambience. WATCH ME BURN set out to raise the bar of what was deemed as "extreme music".
 
"We wrote songs we wanted to hear, stuff that had enormous weight, coupled
with a punch to the throat, and the thrill of floating in a vat of psilocybin", says guitar player Kevin.
 
In mid 2001 WATCH ME BURN recorded a 3 song CD that was not only praised around the
world by the metal community, and brought the quartet some early label attention, but the
 band declined, as they felt they had some more dues to pay.  The band began a lengthily
campaign, passing out the 3 song CD"s to anyone who would listen, 3000 copies later
the work had paid off. WATCH ME BURN was gaining attention, playing with several of
underground metal's heavy weights, Pig Destroyer, Phobia, Cattle Decapitation, Exhumed,
and Uphill Battle. It wasn't long until WATCH ME BURN was doing sold out shows
 in their home town.
 
 In the fall of  2002 a full length had been recorded for L.A. based Vomitcore Records, 
WATCH ME BURN began the campaign again, sending out the self titled CD's to every
zine and Radio station they could find.  This brought the attention from Rhapsodeath Productions
to co-release a split CD with Malaysia's Spermblast. 500 copies were pressed which quickly sold out,
 and were just as soon repressed. Later that year, WATCH ME BURN began demoing new material
which found it's way onto a split 7" with release with nosiecore/power violence pioneers Godstomper.
 
In mid 2003, WATCH ME BURN set out on a West Coast Tour that took them  from San Diego
 to Vancouver B.C. for a sold out show with gore hounds Exhumed and doom
 messiahs Goatsblood. The writing continued, the song structures got weirder, the intensity
was building, and the fan base was growing.
 
In Late 2004 WATCH ME BURN was asked to perform on the infamous KXLU - L.A. radio's best station,
 some of these songs were then released as live split 7"with fellow Vomitcore label mates
Fetus Eaters...this release furthered their onslaught in the metal underground. WMB were then asked to fill
in on a few West Coast dates for the Vital Remains, Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation tour.
The band was well received, and  was stoked to be playing for bigger audiences.
 
The band continued writing new material which they began recording in late 2005 and finished up
 in late 2006. The new songs are stronger, some have a completely new approach in regards
 to tuning, bringing out hidden melodies that help the bands already expanding universe of
Vomitcore. There will elements if doom, crust, thrash, grind and the intermittent burst of "funk",
 all the things that help make WATCH ME BURN a staple in the Vomitcore scene.
 
WATCH ME BURN's new album "At The Stake" (Vomitcore Records), will be released in early 2007,
and promises to raise the bar for Vomitcore Music

Ladies and Genital-Men.......Mr Kevin Fetus!!!!!!!!!!



THE HEAVY METAL WAXING COMPETITION
Howard had a heavy metal enthusiast, Kevin, also known as Fetus, into the studio. Howard explained Kevin was in this morning to challenge Richard to a heavy
metal trivia game. Howard explained that for every question Kevin got correct, he'd get 10 seconds of airtime for his band, Watch Me Burn, but, for each one he got wrong he'd have to get waxed. Howard added if Richard ended up winning the game, he'd get $500, but would also face waxing if he
got answers wrong, while Kevin brought a woman named Pixie Pearl in with him, who promised to ride the Sybian if he lost. Before he got to the game, Howard also welcomed the waxer, Nora, back to the show.


Here were the questions Howard asked the contestants, as well as their answers:

• How many albums did Pantera have out before they released "Cowboys From Hell"? Kevin answered two, but the correct response was four. Given this, Nora waxed the area right by Kevin's scrotum, which caused him to yell, "Nice," as Gary pointed out he didn't think Kevin had yet "felt the pain."

• Iron Maiden was named after the medieval instrument of torture from what classic 1939 movie? Richard, who didn't know the answer was "The Man in the Iron Mask," then had some hair waxed off, causing him to scream in pain.

• What bass player helped found Anthrax? Kevin said Danny Lilker, and, because he was right, Howard played 10 seconds of Watch Me Burn's "The Wolf That Ate the Sun."

• What was one of James Hetfield's side projects during the 1990s? Richard didn't know the answer was Spastik Children, so he got the area "right above his shaft" waxed.


• What event took place in Tony Iommi's life that caused him to create the sound that became heavy metal? When Kevin replied Tony had the tips of his fingers cut off, Howard played 10 more seconds of "Wolf" because that was the right answer.


• Three members of the group, Napalm Death, started bands. Name them. Richard responded with Terrorizer, Carcass and Cathedral. However, Howard informed Richard Terrorizer was incorrect, so he had had another wax strip ripped from his privates.



• Name the band that Paul Grey and Joey Jordison were in before they formed Slipknot. Kevin said Stone Sour, but Howard noted the answer was Anal Blast. Kevin then had the area "above the shaft" waxed, and this time screamed in pain, which caused Richard to point out that he wasn't such "a tough guy" after all.

Current mood:  working
So last weekend my good friend Cameron came to visit. We went to see Watch Me Burn at the knitting factory, boy was it an adventure, and i will now blather on about the few parts i remember. The first couple of bands were fairly generic, standard metal shit. so we went to get more drinks, but being broke we decided to go to 40s and tallcans route rather than spending ungodly amounts of money at some bar. so we proceeded to the appropriate place to drink 40s and tallcans, the alley. In the alley we encountered the coolest fucking weirdo crackie ever, i mean this motherfucker was in the know, you know? he kept reffering to himself as the Supreme Litigator, so that is what i shall call him. Im sure i dont need to tell you but this man was the ultimate form of entertainment. He taught us everything from how to correctly use what he called "deductable reasoning" to how he "put the E in Inspector Gadget." I also enjoyed the fact that he went on and on about how he couldnt believe we were drinking steel reserve and how he couldnt stand the shit. Not five minutes later I see that in his brown bag was a steel reserve of his own, of course i didnt say anything about it, i still wasnt sure if he was awsome or if he was gonna stab one of us. Why lie, i knew he was awsome. So we are all drunk as the fuck, bulshitin with this guy when out of nowhere he pulls out a crackpipe, and proceeds to do his thang. Before finishing the story out of respect for the man i will say he was really smart, crackie or not he was in the fucking know, in more ways than one. So after he does his thing he tells cameron that hes not gay or anything, but that he would suck his dick cause he had such a pretty face. I swear to god i have never laughed so hard in my entire fucking life! So after cam let him down easy so as to not hurt anyones feelings, after all he is married, we went to see WMB. They were fucking awsome,it was the dirst time ive heard them, but I have loved dead food forever, and was sad to see them go. Watch me burn was fucking awsome. somthing about a band with kevin fetus and a beautiful metal vixen that touches me in a special place, needless to say their music is fucking awsome. I dont remember a lot after that exept cameron asking me why we were lost in echo park, as i was projectile vomiting on passing cars. so it took us way to long to get home and i still wonder how cameron is so good at driving in such a state. So we ended the night by watching the first five minutes of whats eating gilbert grape right before we passed the fuck out. So what did i learn: -I need to buy a tape recorder, cause im pretty sure that the S.L. let me in on some of lifes secrets and i just cant remember cause i only retained the parts that made me laugh. -Metal chicks are hot. -Steel Reserve is still a good thing. -I fucking love Hollyweird! -I miss Cameron -I need more friends who like alley adventures -Cameron has a pretty face! -I should stop puking in peoples cars -I am wildy entertained by stupid shit Impressive Starfox! Body: So I just really had to tell you about some crazy shit that happened to me last night. I was out looking for job yesterday, and when I was done I went to the store and got me a forty of steel reserve. So I decide to drink it in the alley to make skating home more interesting. I get pretty shitty due to an empty stomach, and start my voyage home. On the way I ran into a crazy rambling man who claimed I was jesus' reincarnate, and god told him to sell me weed. Not having any money and being pretty drunk I somhow managed to trade him 50 cents and a pack of beef ramen for a huge nugget of brick weed. I rolled 2 big ass joints and smoked one, I was fucked up. It was about midnight by then & I really didnt want to go home so I went and chilled in this graveyard and smoked the other joint needless to say I got silly as fuck cause I had not smoked weed in 6 months. Just then I remembered I borrowed your cd from a friend who came with me to one of your shows lasts weekend. I have seen you guys three times, and already know the shit is good, but I have always been way to shitfaced to absorb the music fully. I have heard the songs on myspace and they are awsome, but holy fucknuts that cd is some bad ass brutal innovative weirdness. Those backing vocals are some hardcore gurgly goodness. I just wanted to tell you Watch me Burn, Nuclear Rabbit, weed, and graveyards is a great way to pass some time! But really, how gay is it that the first time I smoke weed in forever it ends up being 4/20. Dude, bro, I'm a trendy bastard and I so didnt mean to be!!
