Did you know… that Shannon (drummer of 30stm) started this band together with his brother Jared so it’s impossible for this guy Luke to be the ‘original’ drummer?
Anton Trees // November 26, 2008 at 9:31 PM |
Wrong. When 30 Seconds started, Shannon played the keyboard. Milwaukee Bucks point guard Luke Ridnour played drums.

Yeah and New York Yankees baseball player Derek Jeter was the lead vocalist before Jared took over *rolles eyes*

so this guy luke walks around with a photoshoped head as well? Anyone with eyes can see that all of these pictures are fake… seriously the guy you put with mariah, his neck doesn’t even line up to his suit and you can see that its a white neck underneath! Come on, you don’t deserved to have photoshop if you can’t use it correctly!
HAHA // November 26, 2008 at 10:54 PM |
Not likely. Shannon and Jared started the band, and that guy’s never even been near it. Perhaps maybe in the crowd, but that’d be it.
