About Me

My profile was customized using the Taming the Beast.net MySpace Layout Generator
Remember BIG RIFFS and HEAVY GROOVES? Remember Bonzo's massive drum sound? The twin guitars of Thin Lizzy, Maiden and Priest? How about BIG ol' guitar solos? Remember records? Remember the gatefold cover of Live After Death with the big ass poster of Eddie? We do. And we know that we're not alone. We've already met others who share the love of the riff and now we're gonna help show the world what rock is all about.

Sounds Like: A drunken Wookie walloping you upside the head with a beer-soaked crate of the heaviest, riff-crazy, groove-laden records (Yes..RECORDS) you've ever heard...but then he feels kind of bad about it so he picks you up, kisses you on the head and shares the sixer he was saving for the ride home... The one he was gonna drink while he was cranking Spacegrass by Clutch cuz he loves to wait and hit the hyperdrive right about the time Fallon sings the line about "watch light bend in the blower". He loves that shit and now so do you.
