ETID is by far one of the best bands I've ever listened to in my life. I listen to a lot of music, basically everything, and I've never found something as unique and special as every time I die. I can honestly say if it wasn't for that band I might not be alive right now and that's probably the only band that I can say that about.

@@Jasonsnotgoodatdrums upstate is anything not Long Island, NYC, and the couple “downstate” counties just north of NYC. Then, you have the sub divisions of upstate. Western, Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, Central, Hudson Valley and North Country. Idk why people have such a problem with calling anything outside of the ADK’s “upstate”. I’ve lived in other states and telling someone you are from “upstate” and not NYC is all you have to say to get your point across to them.

Pro wrestling is honestly no different than being a touring musician.. it's a hard lifestyle performing infront of people and in a different city every night while living on the road. Coming from a band setting I always thought Andy would have adjusted well to the lifestyle of a pro wrestler. He's also physically in better shape now than when he first got into AEW. I remember watching the night he debuted on Dynamite when he pulled an undertaker and came out from underneath the ring through the ring mat. I immediately thought is that Andy from ETID????
