About Me

NEW OBIDIL CD STARDUST ITS OUT NOW !!! YOU CAN ORDER ON [email protected] its 10eu+shipping ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------As a kid I've listened to the same music as my parents: Status Quo, Slade, T-Rex, Jimi Hendrix, CCR, Bijelo Dugme,... When I was seven, my mom bought me a blank casette. I took it to my neighbour Boris, who made me a Mtorhead and Celtic Frost compilation. Later, when I was ten I wanted to go to music school and learn to play guitar. I'm a lousy singer, so I was refused. I was practising my music on my father's acoustic guitar anyway. Two years later my friend Ata (Klemen Krmelj) and me created our first metal duo - Ata on plastic boxes for wall colours and me on acoustic guitar. We started with Slayer. Ata knew Jelenc and Cufer and he told them that he knew a great guitar player, who plays all from Celtic Frost to Slayer. Jelenc was very excited to get me in the band, so somebody could teach him playing better. Then he found out that I couldn't even tune a guitar. Great! So he had to teach me. When I was thirteen I bought my first electric guitar. I had to collect all the money alone, so I was repairing bicycles, collecting ice cream money, which I got from my grandmother and I sold all cassettes I had, the tape recorder and my moped. I've lost the things I loved, but I had my guitar! When I've learned the chords, Bad law was formed. I played rythm guitar.We rehearsed a lot, played better and better and soon we played live a lot. We mostly played our own songs, but we played covers too. Then we changed the name of the band into Quick Decision, then to Blouson Noir and then back to Bad Law. In 1995 Ata left the band and we had nobody on drums. So I replaced him. Later members of the band started changing and finally we played only covers. So I left. I admired John Bonham, Tommy Lee, Reed St. Mark and Ale-- Uranjek then. In 1997 I started attending private drum classes, which lasted two years. Later I signed in public music school, finished five classes in one year and joined Alples brass-band and rock band Oko. While playing in Oko, I went to the concert of Simon Phillips in Ljubljana. I was enraptured. I could say that being there was a turning-point in my way of taking music. I've learned so much in those three years! In 2000 I was tired and bored of playing covers. I kind of like Jimi Hendrix, but I would lose my mind playing his songs for next fourty years. I couldn't find myself in anything that I was playing then. I was lucky that Jelenc and Cufer were so sick of all too. The idea of Obidil turned at lamenting at Bojan's Pub
