About Me

I am currently a lowly student, in my 2nd year at Sussex University, studying English Literature (not quite sure why!) When I'm not hitting the books, I spend most of my time playing guitar and listening to music, or just hanging out with chums. Looks out for the mighty HammerAttack, coming your way soon!

My Interests

I have a love of music, particularly metal and heavy rock. Bit obsessed with guitars also, so spend most of my time playing guitar or oogling them on the internet. I also love to read, and am a bit of a movie buff.

I'd like to meet:


Will Adler from Lamb of God

Jeff Hanneman of Slayer
The Mighty Devin Townsend from Strapping Young Lad
Adam Jones and MJK from Tool

Music:

Bands I am into at the moment include Megadeth, Pantera, Lamb of God, Tool, Metallica, SikTh, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, DamagePlan, Black Label Society, Machinehead, Slayer, Slipknot, Primus, Oceansize, Nine Inch Nails, Faith No More, Tomahawk, Smashing Pumpkins, Mastodon, Shadows Fall, In Flames, Nevermore, Strapping Young Lad & Devin Townsend I'm sure I've forgotten loads!

Movies:

I'm a massive Tarantino fan, so films like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill etc. really float my boat. I also have a slightly perverse love of old westerns such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, The Outlaw Josey Wales (pretty much any Clint Eastwood western!) Ofcourse, you gotta love the classics too; my favourites being Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club,The Big Lebowski, amongst others...

Television:

South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons. I have a weird love for cooking shows too!

Books:

Catch 22 (Heller), Lolita (Nabokov), 1984 (Orwell), Great Expectations (Dickens), Disgrace (Coetzee)...

Heroes:

My main influences, guitar wise are guys like Dave Mustaine, Adam Jones, Dimabag and the guys from Slayer. I'm also a huge fan of Josh Homme from QOTSA/Kyuss and Stephen Carpenter from the Deftones, as they are sort of why I picked up guitar in the first place!
