My name is Mike "Sauce Daddy" Strong.

I love Rock/Metal because these artists sing about real life, real pain, and real struggles, and it helps to know that other people are dealing with the same things you are.

My favorite band of all time is the Mighty SLIPKNOT!

The absolute best concert I’ve ever been to was Avatar at the Rust Belt. Hands down.

Here is my playlist:

Power Trip - Executioner’s Tax
In Flames - Meet Your Maker
Slash - Anastasia
Soilwork - Distortion Sleep
Ice Nine Kills - Work of Art
Orbit Culture - North Star of Nija
Stone Sour - Song 3
Shaman’s Harvest - Dirty Diana
The Raven Age - Fleur De Lis
Thrice - Hold Up A Light
Bobbaflex- I’m Glad You’re Dead
Stone Sour/Lzzy Hale- Gimme Shelter
Silverstien- Ultraviolet
