I..ve started playing guitar in 1984. My first band I established in 1985. This band was called HEMLOCK . We didn..t have a bass player and a vocalist. So the other guitarist and our drummer decided: "This one is your job, Gerry!" So we..ve picked up also a lead guitarist in this band and played a lot of gigs and recorded two albums until the end of 80..s, influenced by the "New wave of british heavy metal" and U.S. bands like Motley Crüe, Dokken etc.
After this decade the guitarist and me formed an AC/DC cover band called BIG BALLS . At this same time we had a new band with the name DYNASTY . In this band my job was writing & singing the songs and playing guitar too. I..ve played a Peavey Vandenberg signature model. In 1993 both bands were splitted. So Ralph, my guitarist and me decided to found a new band with professional qualities. We established the band SLUTSY TIPSY . We played and toured all over germany and recorded two albums called "Return Of The Rotton Rip" in 1998 and the album "SlutMachine" two years later. Since starting Slutsy Tipsy I play an ESP George Lynch Model Purple Tiger and I play an old 50W-Marshall Top and use Sure microphones. I..m also a big fan of guitarist George Lynch and his Lynch Mob. The Mob rulez ;-) Since end of 2001 I am also a band member of the huge band-project ROCKTAIL-THE BAND . This project includes 30 - 40 musicians. We play big shows - only cover songs from AC/DC, Metallica, Nonpoint, Queen, Megadeth, Velvet Revolver, Whitesnake to ZZ Top. In 2005 we..ve played the biggest show featuring the KMS-Symphony-Orchestra. In most of the songs we have different crew members, so the musicians change places from song to song. From 2006 until the end of 2007 I gave my voice to the Hardrock-Metal Band ATERIAL . In October 2006 we..ve released the album "Bodyshaker". You can see a part of the release show in my videos. Since autumn 2007 we..ve formed the fantastic Rock-Band D . N . A . . Featuring the amazing Thorsten Koehne on lead-guitar, Klaus Alberti on bass, Kai Paulmann on drums and Gerry on lead vocals and guitar. In August 2008 we..ve played some famous rock..n..roll songs together with a symphony orchestra on a festival stage directly in front of the famous castle of Celle. The D.N.A. Videotrailer 2009 is on the myspace page and the Promo CD is coming out in April 2009. Some big festivals will follow this year. The D.N.A. official my space page is on the screen!!
