WAYLON TOOK OVER FOR J MANN IN FALL 2004, MAKING HIM THE NEWEST ADDITION TO MUSHROOMHEAD. HIS REAL NAME IS, WELL, WAYLON, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NICKNAME SUGGESTIONS SUCH AS "THE WAY". ALTHOUGH HE'S NOT A CLEVELANDER, (HE COMES FROM NORTH CAROLINA) WAYLON SEEMS TO BE EXACTLY WHAT THE BAND NEEDS BY BRINGING NEW ENERGY AND PASSION INTO CONCERTS AND THE MUSIC. SINCE MUSHROOMHEAD WAS THE FIRST BAND HE EVER OPENED FOR, TOURED WITH, AND HAD A RECORD PRODUCED BY, HE'S REALLY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THEM NOW!
