About Me

"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.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There arent too many people I would actually like to meet at this time. One would be Ozzy Osbourne, I mean come on, its the Ozzman, 'Nuff Said. I would also like to meet the man who inspired me to play bass Flea from RHCP. and if only he were still alive, I would like to meet Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Was a truely sad thing that happend to him. But atleast he went out doing what he loved to do best, playing on stage for the fans.
