About Me

MySpace Contact TablesIm Rob, a guy just trying to get by and do my thing. Im a very private guy, keep myself to myself and critically watch the world go by. Onto the music..Good hard hitting rock has kept me inspired for years and sometimes I wonder what I would have done without it. I was the little kid with his leather jacket, bullet belt (live bullets collected from an army firing range)and long hair, I had the denim and patches. Rock guitarists were and still are my heroes. To be able to create music through an instrument like that and live that lifestyle drew me in. Now, well the hair has nearly gone, the denim and leather have all but disappeared but I still love rock and roll. I aint no natural guitar player (if there is such a thing)and wish I was a load better, but I still love doing what I can and rocking out. Rock guitar is a huge release for me. I mainly play rhythm and play a lot of covers. Maybe its time to start writing. I'm a Rock N Roll Outlaw! I suppose I should know better than to keep buying more guitars, keep having tattoos done and keep jumping about at gigs....But Bollox!

My Interests

Guitars, Gigs, Fast Cars, Fast and cool bikes, Booze & Women

I'd like to meet:

Any number of old school heavy rock musicians for help and advice and to hang out with. I respect anyone who can play an instrument but respect them a whole lot more if they have the time to talk and dont act like an asshole. My parents, who left this earth several years ago.!!!

Music:

My favourite subject as I simply love & live good hard rock. Almost every weekend was spent going to gigs, playing guitar or buying rock albums. I listen to anything from Airbourne, Voodoo Six, Nixxin, AC/DC, Trust, Krokus, Rose Tattoo, Thin Lizzy, The Cult, Guns N Roses, Rush, Iron Maiden,Slayer, Venom, Zakk Wylde, ZZ Top, Blackfoot and hundreds of other bands that I cant remember right now. As you can see, I play a lot of rock guitar and can lose myself for hours on end with my Gibson Les Paul and other guitars.

Movies:

Not really a film person unless its porn!

Television:

American Dad, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Football, Motorbike racing, Formula 1, Top Gear, Biker Build Offs, American Chopper.

Books:

Rock autobiography's, the usual guitar monthly mags and the odd Metal mags.

Heroes:

Angus Young, Ozzy Osbourne, John Sykes, Billy Gibbons,Randy Rhoads, Slash, Adrian Smith... anyone that can rock out, is cool and has time to talk.
