The G Bomb

How I learned to stop worrying and love the G Bomb

About Me

By night I work for Puny Human Promotions booking unsigned acts for local shows. By day I am an IT Manager for a charity. Before this, I worked with my wife for her promotions company, Wiseguys Promotions and doing some arty type stuff designing web sites, making backdrops, posters/flyers etc. for Zombie Works - Musicians Services when I'm not getting drunk and listening to Heavy Metal, and sometimes when I am drunk and listening to Heavy Metal.I play bass in The Massacre Cave, Teapot Jacuzzi and Apocalyptic Buddhism, though I may be taking up some guitar duties for them.

My Interests

Yes I have some.

I'd like to meet:

My maker.

Music:

Metal, Metal and of course Metal.

Slayer - War Ensemble


Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss


Amon Amarth - The Pursuit of Vikings


Argonath - The 45 Rebellion

..

Movies:

Sometimes

Television:

I have one and when its not being used as a games displayer it shows some TV programmes!

Books:

Are things with words in em. They look like blocks of wood except that they split in the middle!

Heroes:

Got a few but not many.

    The Maiden of Metal, my wife for bringing real music to Glasgow. Les Paul for creating the electric guitar
