About Me


I'm a guitar player and play in the NYC based band Symptom 7.
Check out Symptom 7's myspace site here . and friend us if you care to! Our debut release for DZ/Records - Into the Whip Records called VOL.1 is out and available now.
I play sometimes with singer/songwriter Walker Hornung in his live band Walker and the Brotherhood of the Grape. Cool laid back tunes with plenty of rich sounding vocals. Probably the best singer I have ever worked with, without a doubt!
I like any and all music for the most part, and though I play hard rock/metal, I don't really listen to it or music in gerneral for that matter, on my spare time. I am usually out on my bike or driving my '69 Camaro or getting yelled at by my wife :)
My big thing is the first gen Camaros. I own a real numbers matching, low milage 1969 Z/28 RS. It's painfully original and still retains the original 302 engine, which is the 1st gen Z/28's deal. If you are familiar with the Chevy 302's at all, you'll know it's a friggin' monster at 6500 and above RPM. Nothing like a high winding small block! My wife somewhat hates it though and usually refuses to be in it... No A/C :) I am very cautious with it; depending on my mood, if any obnoxious, asshole kid in a rice burner car with an exhaust that sounds like a little swarm of angry bees comes up to me at a light and gives the look, I notice how cute the little car is and then... well... it's a go... I haven't lost a race yet.

I like the Harleys too. I have an '07 Softail Custom and I go out riding any chance that I get, whatever season it is. I am usually out on the bike more than in the Camaro because it's getting harder and harder to take the Camaro out. Ever see the Barrett Jackson Auctions? I would really like to find a nice bobbed Knucklehead EL as a second bike or maybe a nice panhead. Or build one, whenever I have some time. Ahhh... someday!

Me at Berklee 1992 doing a Randy Rhoads Tribute Show. This was one of my faves that I did at Berklee because I think we all played well and had a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Cool show for sure. I'll post more. There were several guests as well. Main players from that show were:
Me on guitar
Ken Tondre - Drums
Gremlin - Bass
Eric Welsh - Keys
Lance Dumas - Vocals
Jesse Lewis - Vocals
Guests:
Tony Savarino - Guitar (on Flying High Again)
Tommy Strazza - Guitar (on No Bone Movies)
Mike Chlasciak (Before he was Metal) - as the Nun (on Over The Mountain)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that is not a pain in the ass.
I think I've met all the "famous" folks I'd like to meet. I usually don't like to meet too many so called "famous" people because you generally get let down. There are a certain few that were cool, though.
Anyone who I would have really liked to have met are all dead so I guess that throws that out the window.
