About Me
Hello everybody, The main reason for me being here is partly to share my interests with others mainly the art, bikes and music which contains mostly metal but i'm really into much more since MMEB has been one of my favourites since childhood.In the photo gallery you'll see some drawings, many are several years old, a few airbrushes . The devilhead is a claymodel which is airbrushed and vernished. It's lifesize and really stands out! I made another one before, a werewolf which was placed on a board. That one i've traded for a nice tattoo on my back...Too bad i didnt take a picture of that one. My proudies however are the wooden swords; The very first one i did was a creation with Savatage in mind ( the favourite band of my wifie at that moment), and that one's still in my ( or her's )possesion. The second was the famous " Metalium-sword"... at least,famous to me . The guys from Metalium loved it too so it's still in Lars' possesion which i am very proud of. After that i carved the Iced-earth-sword but the last one is still my masterpiece, or so i reckon. It is the Swordmaster made for Nightwish. Tuomas, singer and leader of the band bought it from me after a concert so we got a chance to get to know them too. However i never got the chance to get in touch with them eversince.Another interest of mine are bikes. Started to learn on an easy chopper; Daelim Evolution, an 125 cc and therefore easy to manage but i still made my first fall with it...damn shoulder still hurts sometimes...! That was good enough for a few months, needed something faster...A Suzuki VX 800...Baaad call!!!was way to heavy for me at that moment. So i changed for a smaller Yamaha Virago 535, again a chopper and that made me aware that chopper riding was too easy, too lay-back for me. So i got my mind set on some off-road-machine which came in the presence of a Honda Dominator 650. Had some work on it since the former owner felt the urge to threw it on the floor... But i guess i got a bit tired of that one so i sold it again, made some money out of it and started to look for something else...And that something else really was something else; A Kawasaki GPX 750 R. A sport-touring machine from the late 80's. It was in a perfect condition although i needed to replace the tires and adjust the engine and carburators, but it nearly looks like a brand newone, it's got only 20 000 km...its 19 years old!!! I love driving it, try to ride safely and hope somebody's watching me...LOLFinaly the music-section. As i mentioned, metal still is my main interest. Most popular bands are ( in no particular order ), Nightwish, Iced Earth, Metalium, Pure-inc, Savatage, Rammstein, Judas Priest and many more. A lot from the old-school like Saxon,Iron maiden, Anvil, Rush as well ofcourse. But i like other stuff as well, Manfred Mann's Earth Band has been a favourite always, i like bands like The Police, Fisher-Z, Supertramp, Bowie and stuff as well. Once in a while i even place Elvis in the player. And i like a lot of the Belgian Pop scene as well, as long as it's got balls...
