About Me

I am a grateful and open minded person. I love music. I think it is the ultimate spiritual communication. I'm very optomistic. I love God and I love Jesus. I think Jesus taught us the best possible way to live.I'm convinced being generous is a better way to live. I'm convinced forgiving people and not carrying around bitterness is a better way to live. I'm convinced having compassion is a better way to live. I'm convinced pursuing peace in every situation is a better way to live. I'm convinced listening to the wisdom of others is a better way to live. I'm convinced being honest with people is a better way to live. He brings to us the reality of how the world really is. Mentally, physically and spiritually. I hear talk about metaphyisics. Jesus was the ultimate metaphysician.I believe in a PERSONAL spiritual connection and have one. Uh....anyway...;-)..about me huh?....I'm just glad I grew up in Nashville and that my small circle of family and like-minded friends are here and we take care of each other. I have an awesome daughter....awesome brothers and an incredible girlfriend. I have great parents and some really cool close friends. I am a member of coolest church in the world: Highland Park. Add in a bunch of cool guitars and a job where I work with great people, have access to all of the best recording gear in the world, AND play in a couple of KICK ASS bands....why would I not be grateful? So.....all of you future stars of Dateline NBC, and other seekers of darkness....click yer ass on out of here.....'cause the LIGHT may start to get in if you hang around here too long....and we don't want that now..... do we? If ya want all of my bio bull go to WWW.MIKESIMMONSBAND.COM Peace, Mikey.............I am living proof of what happens when Kiss '76 is your first concert. Gene Simmons Bass Solo

My Interests

Spiritual connections. You do not have to be weird to experience it.

I'd like to meet:

The guy who wrote this: Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Music:

I have been a guitarist for 30 years. I love a ton of stuff. Ritchie Blackmore pretty much wrote the book for me. It was not until much later that I found out who wrote the book for him....the 3 most awesome words in the world: James Marshall Hendrix. Nod's to Allen Collins, Alex Lifeson, Michael Shenker and EVH. From the old school stuff like Deep Purple, Rainbow (Dio only) Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Rush, King's X, Dio, Skynyrd, Hendrix, and Kiss.(When you say "Beck" to me I think you're talking about Jeff.) From the "new" school I really love Tool, Perfect Circle and Sevendust. The new Andy Timmons record is the best guitar shit I've heard in years. There are also a bunch of kick ass bands and musicians around here (Nashville) that keep me inspired 24-7. Check out my website www.mikesimmonsband.com

Movies:

Gladiator, Braveheart, Outlaw Josey Wales, Last of the Mohicans, Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Capote, 2001, and Anything with Richard Pryor

Television:

Lost, Sienfeld, Law and Order, South Park, Cincy Reds baseball

Books:

The New Living Translation, Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell, Wild at Heart by John Eldredge, Sermon on The Mount by Emmet Fox, A Generous Orthodoxy by Brian McLaren, The Divine Consiracy by Dallas Willard, The Basic Text of NA.

Heroes:

Jesus, The guys and gals in Acts, My Paw Paw, My Mom & Dad, My daughter, Jimmy K., Bill W., Doctor Bob, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, Richard Pryor and the addict walking into their first meeting.... and anyone who tells the truth.
