		Curiel and Stewart write from a “place” or “state of mind”, rather than apply the formulated approach often found within mainstream music.

	Artist Recommendations / Interviews - Guitar Center
		The band, singer Sonny Sandoval, bassist Traa Daniels, guitarist Marcos Curiel and drummer Noah "Wuv" Bernardo, has been a testament to positive persistence since forming through the release of four independent albums before finally breaking through with their major-label debut, 1999's "The Fundamental Elements of Southtown".
		Marcos: I used Mesa Boogie, Soldano, a hot-rodded Marshall, an Orange, a Hiwatt, a Roland Jazz Chorus 120, and a Vox AC30.
		Marcos: I think the Orange was really cool for an old school rock and roll, fuzzy, distortion-it was just loud.

	San Diego CityBEAT
		Unification and self-determination expressed with the white-hot, redemptive rage of real-life vatos who’d survived drug-dealing dads and gang-banging peers—they were readymade heroes, the sort of David-Goliaths that Jonathan Davis and Fieldy were too inwardly ired to be.
		Yet the celestial ambiance that Curiel gave to P.O.D.—a style that borrowed as much from Santana and Pink Floyd as it did Dave Navarro—is hard to live without, if only because it separated the Southtown boys from other nü-metalheads.
		I have a tendency to underestimate the importance of a singular cog in a four-cog wheel.

	SLAMM's Top 25 San Diego Bands of All-Time: #19 - P.O.D.
		Formed in 1992 by guitarist Marcos Curiel and drummer Wuv, P.O.D. (which stands for Payable On Death) was an experiment in family values from the start.
		Curiel's and Wuv's parents were church friends; and Wuv's cousin, Sonny Sandoval, who hung around their early gigs to keep Wuv out of trouble, was recruited as the group's vocalist.
		Though fans have come to know him as a charismatic, hard-rock "minister" of sorts, Sandoval -- whose mother had recently died of cancer -- was actually quite shy and introverted at first.

	RE: MARCOS IS BACK!!!!!
		I'm glad Marco's is back, but i'm not crazy about the idea of him being in AXE as well as POD.
		However, the myspace thing has changed, and i read a comment Marcos left on someone's myspace where he said that it was just gunna be the original band on the new record.
		I'm sure everyone is overjoyed that Curiel is back, but I seriously doubt he would cause a massive boost in their album sales.

		Former P.O.D. member Marcos Curiel told his side of the story of his split with the band to MTV.com earlier this week, and according to his comments, it was hardly an amicable parting.
		Curiel asserts in his comments that he was "kicked out" of the band and that P.O.D.'s immediate hiring of former Living Sacrifice member Jason Truby as his replacement is evidence that it had been planned for a long time.
		Stewart is best remembered as the lead vocalist of now-defunct band Grammatrain, but was also a featured member of the band Tait, as well as his own solo pursuits as an artist and producer.

		Hailing just 15 minutes north from three-quarters of the bands ancestral origin of Mexico, The Accident Experiment--comprised of former P.O.D. guitarist/songwriter Marcos Curiel, ex-Sprung Monkey rhythm section veterans Ernie Longoria and Tony DeLocht and Seattle-native/former Grammatrain vocalist Pete Stewart--are busy proving that theyre more than your average hard rock radio band.
		Were all proud of what weve done in the past, states Curiel, who also serves as producer on the bands two albums.
		The combination of Stewarts dark and piercing vocals and Curiels monster guitar riffs and Edge-meets-Page solos come to life perfectly atop DeLochts larger-than-life bass work and the flash and finesse of Longorias often complicated, always solid drum skills.

		In an e-mail sent to fans Wednesday (February 19), singer Sonny Sandoval said Curiel left "to pursue his own vision apart from P.O.D.," however the guitarist insisted in a phone call from his San Diego home that he was kicked out.
		nobody's perfect, although it is sad to read what Curiel wrote, cuz it sounds incredibly pesimistic and not like music is his ministry.
		If the band is gonna put on a fake fascade just to sell records, what are their true motivations...not really focusin on God, that's for sure.
