    Matt Pike is so chill. I met him for a second at the coffee shop I worked. He puts milk in his coffee which I didn't think was very metal for him, until I remembered he's Matt Pike, therefore anything he does is metal.

    • @KevinUchihaOG

      personally i think it's more unmetal to worry about other people thinking the stuff you do is unmetal. If you like milk in your coffee then fucking drown that coffee in milk.
