About Me

Jason started playing guitar at three years old, after meeting Steve Vai at kinder and got his first taste of metal in 87 after landing a job as guitar tech for Kirk Hammett on Metallica's Master of Puppets world tour at the age of 12. At a drug, alcohol and high class escort fuelled record company bash to celebrate his triple platinum worldwide hit debut guitar album '6ix 6trings to paradi6e' tragedy struck. While holding a guitar in each hand, one playing Van Halen's 'Eruption' and the other playing Guns n Roses' 'Sweet Child O Mine' as a dare from Joe Satriani (who was pouring Jagermeister down his throat at the time), Jason's fingertips melted almost completely beyond repair, the fumes from the combination of melting skin and the steaming fret varnish used on customshop Ibanez seven string guitars sending Brian Johnson and Slash's hair permanenty curly. It was after this shocking blow to the world that Jason became a recluse. He sold his guitars to the Hard Rock Cafe in Cairns, had his facial tattoos removed and cut his golden locks. The music world vowed never to speak of this dark day again, and Brian Johnson and Slash vowed to always wear hats. A simple family man emerged, all that remains today. This is his story.
I now work in the Mental Health industry.
Im Married with two offspring.
I play guitar in various projects.
Dont add me unless you have drunk a beer with me.
If you live in Ararat and constantly bag it, move to the city and shut the fuck up.
Im a grouch.
Beer makes me less grouchy.
