"I was surprised to see Big John in the house. This guy is everywhere and supports Bakersfield music all the time."
- From N.L. Belardes' review on the 8-11 show at Mama Yasania's Pizza
Check out my buddy TINY in the burnout contest at the 2006 Bakersfield Thunder Run. He is the first burnout on this video, riding an Old School Shovelhead
My name is Johnny, although many around know me as Big John. I am 23 years old and live in Bakersfield California. In my spare time I like hang out with my friends, toss back a few cold ones, and generally just have a good time. When I’m not at home, I am enjoying my second love…Music. I can’t go through life without music. It makes me who I am, especially local music. I enjoy local music due to the fact that there is so much talent that the world doesn’t know what to do with it. I have been in the local scene for 5 years now, and I’ve loved every fuckin’ second of it. I’ve had the chance to meet some very cool people some of which I can actually call ‘friends’. I also do security for local shows now and again. Keep the order so the moshing doesn’t get out of hand (Remember, if you knock somebody down, be cool and help them up). I have been learning bass on and off for about 3 1/2 years now. Some day I hope to be good enough to be in a kick ass metal band and be able to tear this town a new asshole. The tattoo on my chest says it best.."I Am What I Am"..I am for real, you dont like me? Don't add or talk to me, I could give two shits.
