“Music is in a sad way,” explained John Paul Paolicelli. His blond hair is spiked straight up, and his tattooed arms are folded. John Paul, as he’s called, fronts the band Envy Insane. He wears white contacts when he preforms, and clearly prides himself on being intense, and he is.
“We start with a rock song, and then mix it up and come at you with the hard metal,” said Paolicelli.
He is from Amissville, the son of Bill and Ginger Paolicelli, owners of American Road Motorcycles in Amissville.
Sitting next to Paolicelli is his band mate Shane “Ballz” Lambert. Lambert has a tattoo of the name of each the bands he’s drummed in, and he’s nodding his agreement with Paolicelli.
“I’m so sick of everybody sounding the same,” Lambert says. Lambert went to school at Rappahannock County High School with Paolicelli and another Envy Insane member Tre Smith. Later, when I take a picture of Paolicelli and Lambert, Shane will complain that the camera’s flash caught him grinning. He asks me to take another one so that he can look tough. Lambert wants to seem hard core, to project dedication and focus, to look serious about the music. Before Envy Insane takes the stage at their shows, they chant ‘We must protect this house!” to get themselves psyched up, and just before they go on, they blast their fans with an air raid siren.
“The goal is to hand them their a-,” explained Lambert.
