Alex Lopez, formerly of Suicide Silence, will sit behind the kit for P.O.D. during their upcoming tour in 2022. As Wuv Bernardo has sat out most of the band's touring over the past few years, Jonny Beats has been behind the kit for several years now.

Earlier this year Suicide Silence and Alex parted ways.

Well I mean this dude is in a relationship with Tatiana from Jinjer, the headliner on this tour. So this is pretty unsurprising.

Remember when this dude called some fan a "gayg0t" on Facebook a few years ago? Then all these so-called """metal journalists""" just look the other way? It's funny because they picked up and ran a story when Phil Labonte did the same thing. But this woke idiot from Suicide Silence got a free pass. I wonder why...

Dude got shittalked on the Garza Podcast. which episode, that sounds fun

Dude went from not being able to afford rent to not being able to afford his phone bill.

Wuv is too cool to play the clubs. 1999 is stoked.

anonymous 9/10/2022 1:10:25 AM

"drummer to join P.O.O. on toilet" I laughed at this more than I should have. 😂

anonymous 9/10/2022 3:16:37 AM

Which Garza episode do I gotta listen to

anonymous 9/10/2022 7:12:13 AM

It's the episode with Glen Benton from Deicide. Garza compares Lopez to the Hoffmans.

anonymous 9/10/2022 8:00:52 AM

As long as he knows that in the South Town kids don't play

anonymous 9/10/2022 4:52:08 PM

He came to rock the party all night long.

In other news I'm gay as f*ck

anonymous 9/11/2022 1:21:34 PM

I thought Jonny Beats was P.O.D. family !?, he saved their ass from having to cancel a bunch of tours when Wuv couldn't make it and crushed every show he played, but I guess he couldn't get them a tour with Jinjer sooooo.......

anonymous 9/11/2022 2:12:13 PM

Interesting choice for a faith based band to bring in a guy from a satan worshiping band. Maybe the fans won't notice? But hey… at least they got a tour out of the deal…
