Thanks, I like to play...

About Me

I play guitar...duh. I'm in a Montreal based band called AmorAine. I've been playing since I was nine years old and have seen my share of shows over the years. I usually despise guitar players though...Don't get me wrong. I love the guitar. I'm just really annoyed of the mindless Guitar World reading crowd who blindly follow the advice of hacks shilling the latest piece of gear by putting the same tired players on the covers. I swear to god, if I see another picture of Dimebag on a cover...Other than that, I'm an avid reader and really enjoy a stimulating conversation over coffee or beer. I'm usually a pretty laid back guy. Just don't get me started on the state of society these days. I tend to get a little pissed off. It's not that I'm anti anything, but come on, there have to be limits somewhere. ToolsForMySpace.com
