About Me

Howdy!
Turtle here...
Just made a little page to throw my songs up on & hopefully get a listen or two. I HATE having to use a drum machine program, but I don't have the means to record drums....I believe in totally live, totally real, but I guess you have to make do with what you have, take what you can get (anyone know what song that's from????).
I'm currently looking for someone to jam with...The band I was in before didn't work out too well, they wanted to play mostly covers, I didn't...You know how that goes....I'm looking for talented, diverse, no ego having people to put together a JAMMIN ASS funky, heavy, bluesy type of original thing...Too much of the music coming out now is CRAP...Where did all the deep down soul & feeling of music go?!?!?!?!
I've been playing since I was 9 or 10 (I'm no Eddie Van Halen or anything)...I grew up on Maiden and all the good ol' thrash and death metal. I still love it but, there are just waaaaaaaaaay too many bands like that...After my metal only 10 year long phase I finally got an open mind and decided to branch out a tad. I started checking out all kinds of other stuff & man did I miss a lot...I never even listened to Stevie Ray until after he was gone...Very Sad!!! After listening to all of Stevie's songs over & over & over again I started checking all of his inspirations...Albert King & Hound Dog & all them dudes...very cool stuff.
I love Skynyrd, all the old 60's stuff Hendrix, Joplin all that...All the funk from P-funk to the Chili Peppers (Mr. Bungle is still the best!!!!!!). All the real deal punk...DK, Ramones, The Clash, Minor Threat, Sex Pistols, Social D...(green day don't count!!)
I love it all except country, metallican't (SELLOUTS!!!!!!), & all the tough guy rap (I love the Beasties though...geniuses, hands down better than ANY rappers out now...and all their funk stuff is awesome too...let's see m&m or jay-z pick up some instruments & crank out some sweet tunes like the Beasties!!!)
Anyways.... I have my own equipment, transportation, place to jam..blah, blah, blah.... I just wanna jam & bring back some real music!!!!!!!!!
All the pictures on this site, except my own personal pics, came from various places on the net, if you're the owner and want them taken down...let me know & I will remove them right away!!
