About Me

I am the guitarist for the doom/metal/death/tech/muppet band SPASTICATOR.I have been playing guitar, piano and keyboards for over 20 years. I grew up listening to all the hair metal bands with the "hot rod" guitarists. My favourite guitarists are Edward Van Halen, Richie Kotzen, Steve Stevens, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch, Andy La Rocque, Michael Denner (you get the picture).I play all styles of music and I am going to use this page to tie it all together. I love playing cock-rock/power-rock/ballad-rock/pop-rock/pop-death/death-me tal/tech-metal/doom-metal/tech-death/satanic-death/satanic-p op/dolphin ambiance etc.What ever I am doing I can always guarantee a bloody ear and a degenerative hip joint. I will use this extravagant space to showcase my non-SPASTICATOR activities including my soon to be legendary SHREDFEST which will be a regular guitar shredding extraveganza involving real guitarists with real bands on one stage similar to another event of which the name escapes me...
