I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is David Murphy (Murphy to most of you, it's what I prefer). I'm a former professional musician with almost 15 years of drumming experience.I was originally from Mankato, Minnesota up until November 15th, 2007 when I moved to Hinesville, GA to pursue other interests besides music. Things never really worked out for me in that interest, and I've ultimately come to the realization that music really IS and HAS BEEN my entire life, so why deny it! It's hard to change how you were raised and what's you've known your entire life, so why fight it?
I've seen many ups and downs in my life, some out of stupidity caused by myself, some by my family, some by so called friends, and I've also suffered a few injuries to put me out of music for a while, but hey, that's how life goes. Sitting and complaining about it never changed anything. The best thing I can do is just roll with the punches and work on getting back to where I was before... so watch out!
Thank you to all of my real friends and old fans from back home who have given me all the support and confidence I need! You have all truly been a blessing to me!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm not into that typical bullshit about wanting to meet these "so called" superstars and famous people. I believe that all people are equal in nature and just because some people accomplish more doesn't make them better. Meeting everybody from all walks of life suits me just perfectly fine, as long as you respect me and my choices, I'll do the same for you!

Remembering The Past Through Friends
(Got something you want to add to the list?! Send me a PM with what you want stated and it will be posted as soon as I get time to do so! Anything and everything will be posted!)

Damn Murphy, what an insane night we had at The Masquerade in Atlanta! A liter of vodka in 30 minutes without getting sick! You can after party with us anytime boss! Keep on rockin! Hope your knee holds out for ya! - Five Finger Death Punch

How about that night that we picked you up from the gas station and you came back to my house we watched movies and got drunk, then you spent most of the night in the bathroom! lol anyhow it was still fun!

Oh and the night at Revolutions where I got to sing Picture with you!!

Dude, that would have to be the night that a bunch of us were runnin around downtown mankato drunk off our asses, then I passed out in the upper level of the mall, cops came and we all ran like mad crazy haha! I'll never forget your drunk ass that night...

Oh shit man, you can't forget the time when we were in basic and you mouthed off to DS Marlar about how your firing pin was jackin up your M16. Dude you were fucking right, and we still got smoked for it! Kudos for showing the DS up though! We all miss ya from 3/57!

I remember the night that you got up on stage with us at The Quest in Minnesota and jammed for 3 songs and the crowd liked you better than Richie! He got so pissed that night! But man, that drum solo was SiCkNeSs!!! Glad to hear your back in the scene!

We will always remember the time you came to our show in Savannah and did vocals for Drift And Die. Kevin even drove to get you a lefty flip electric so you could jam too! I don't think you paid for a drink that entire night after that! We'll miss you here, and don't forget about us when you blow up again!

Oh Mister Dave! I'll always remember the time when our bands got together for that show in St Paul and that huge wedding party came in, and it ended up turning into a reception. Remember having to do all those sappy love duets for dollar dances and we had no practice? Talk about great practice! Look me up next time your back home!

Haha oh no way, I've got the best one! Remember the show we did with Downfall in Green Bay, and you jumped out of the 6th story window in the hotel into the outdoor pool! Or when you nailed that chick on the table in front of like 25 people and we taped it! Man you are a TRUE rockstar! If you ever need a guitarist down the road, you know where to find me! Best drummer hands down!!!

Man you got a lot of music memories on here... time to add one more! Remember the night at Renegades when you GUARANTEED you could pick up any chick in the bar by the first set break, and the 4 others of us ran around telling all these hot bitches to turn you down to piss you off and you still got tail?! Fucking legendary night man, Renegades still talks about that night! Duluth misses you man!!

Breh, remember the night that you and Kasey came and got hammered at Dutlers, and you did "Lets Make Love" with her? That was off the chain! Then you followed up with "What Happened To Us" by Hoobastank and EVERYBODY went crazy? I don't remember a bar going so crazy in my entire life! A small mosh pit at Dutlers... who woulda thought! Kato misses your music man...

Thats an easy one for us! Extreme FUCKING Entertainment! You used to let us do our own material at your shows! We don't know any other show that has ever let artists do their own written material! You helped blow us up man, we miss EE in Southern MN!

It's not a music one, but it's a good one :) Remember when Joe broke up with me, and I was feeling depressed so you took me out on a date to cheer me up? I had so much fun!! Your always a great guy to party with, and hey, don't worry about the trashy ex's in your life... we know where your heart is! Just be easy on em with the new group, huh? :)

I dunno if I should post this one, but it's what I remember you from the most! Remember when we went to the pit after that show at the Whats Up when we all got trashed, you said "Hey! I wonder if Boobs float!!", and unsnapped my suit top?! Lol that was crazy... we had fun that night didn't we!!

Murphy is the shit!! Remember the night we got drunk and we all stole the shopping from Hi-Vee and carted it like 13 blocks across town, then you went on top of Washinton Hill and went down standing up inside of it?! Your a crazy ass guy, and an even more fun musician! Best of luck with the new group! <333333 you!!

Why do you have to leave us here in Hinesville! All the good talent leaves us! I know I haven't known ya long, but you did a really good job playing with Southpaw at Gilly's when I met you. I'll be sure to keep in touch, and you better do the same! You can always take me with you know :)

How bout that night at about 3 or 4 in the morning that you got pissed at your ex at my place and I thought you were going to go all suicidal on me and I called the police on you. When the police showed up at Lions "aka Mikes" Pond and the one cop drove down the walking path in their SUV you stripped down to your boxers and almost jumped off the end of the dock into the water. The police asked you if you were going to hurt yourself, and you told them no... That you got into a fight with your girl at the time and you were drunk, and just wanted to go for a swim to cool off and that it was just a big misunderstanding. The cops told you and me that we should just go home and sleep it off. Hell with that!!! We just went back to my place mixed more drinks and drank till 6 or 7 in the morning!
* Read Murphy's Rant About This Night *

Holy shit, I remember the time that you, Ben, and Ron all went down to the triangle in Mankato with your entire organized "Bar Sluts Are For Us Campaign Shirts" to see how many girls you could pick up, and you got 2nd out of like 13 guys! I remember you having to drink like 15 shots of Morgan for losing that too since you bet Ron you could own his modeling ass... lol! I've got that picture floating around the house somewhere still! Speaking of that... Isn't that when you met Sarah #5... (Sorry had to throw that out there hehe!!). I miss ya buddy! Let me know when your back in town for a visit ;)

I got one for ya, but I doubt you'll post it! Remember when you hooked up with that girl on your birthday who I said would be no good for you, and then like a week later you stopped talking to me? Yeah... that wasn't very cool, and you even quit playing with your band over it! But hey your single again I seen and broke free from your chain so I understand. NoiZeBoX was a great group with the few shows you all did, sad to see you leave but happy for the success! Keep in touch!

Dude, Murph your the fucking man! We all had a BLAST in the studio with you and loved to hear some of those stellar drum solos and covers you produced! We're all really happy in the progress of your music and hope that you won't forget about us when your on the road! Oh and by the way, Hannah pretty much has the biggest crush on you (as if you probably couldn't tell, she was around you 24/7 when you were freestyling!). Any girl would be lucky to have you! Your such a sweetheart and so talented! Best of luck to you in Texas and on the road!!

Murphy you ROCK! Glad to have you working up at Basin Nights now! You run one of the best shows I have been to! Thanks for singing all of those songs with me on thursday! You have such a beautiful voice, and the personality to match! See you again soon!!

Dude... I seen this entire "Remembering The Past Through Friends" deal you have and I just wanted to say that your voice sounds so identical to the lead singer from Saving Abel! When I heard you helping Dagger with "Addicted", I about shit myself! You put on a great show, we will be at basin on thursdays from now on just to check you out!

Hey Murphy! Thanks for having me over after the bar closed tonight! Sorry if I came onto you at the bar, but your too damn cute!!! I really admire how even though your single you wouldn't take advantage of a drunk me! I hope "that girl" you are interested in realizes how great of a guy you are. Thank you for the great night! I'll be sure to come back more often just to see you.
