About Me

A very verty brief introduction.
At age 12 I was introduced by a friend into heavier styles of rock and roll.
At that time it was Kiss, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and so on. This period is often called the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. From that time I knew this was my favourite type of music and actually I never got out of this, it became a part of my life. Unfortunately allthough the music was really hot, the lyrics weren't but I just ignored that.
Later on at age 19 I learned that there was an upcomming type of metal that had positive messages called white metal.
This influenced my choices on what to listen too and what not. Besides that some bands were just great because it's nice to play their songs on the guitar myself.
Anyway, metal music went never out of my life, and I still play my music every day.Currently I'm looking for a band to play guitar.
I'd like to play musicstyles like Stratovarius, Edguy, Evanescence (just check out the list on the left side).
