About Me

Certified Numpty, music lover, Mixed martial arts freak, Language Junkie and a consummate drinker of Vodka and more recently Morgans' spiced mmmmmh.... I play in a band that used to be called Pyrocore until I found out that some sh*t band in california had got there first - dam you guys! We're currently in the practice room writing some toons but its taking time - we all work full time in our respective Jobs so its hard to get things done as quickly as we'd like. I've played guitar for about 7 years or there abouts. Im not a great guitar player as i've never put in the time thats required and all my respect goes out to the people who do. I only own one guitar - Ibanez 7 string XL kitted out with a midi pick up which gives it a kinda borg(esk) look. The language thing started a few years ago when for some daft reason I convinced myself that I could learn Japanese. I found that I had a good memory for vocabulary and have since taken up German. I also have tried learning Chinese, Polish. If I won the lottery I think i'd go to each country for a couple of years - any donations would be most welcome x. The Martial arts part of my life started a couple of years ago when I realised I had lost a lot of the fitness from my teenage years. To cut a long story short I started going to a kick boxing/ Karate club all taught by the same teacher - Sensei tuscay. The difference with this club is youre made to work and the people who go are a great bunch of people - no egos. I plan to start getting some ground fighting classes in soon as I seem to be naturally a lot better at that. I also plan to return to University at some point - not sure what to do though.

Marty Friedman
You are Marty Friedman! Formerly of Cacophony and Megadeth, you have one of the most distinct sounds of any guitar player. Your style fits well in any type of music; you are so versatile that you have to stay solo so that you can stretch every aspect of your ability. You are one of the best sweep-pickers ever to live, and you're very elusive.

My Interests

Martial arts and music.... travelling, languages (Japanese/Polish/German/anyone?? Teach me something) Although can I just say: Im total crap at all of them. And most recently, I've started hitting the weights pretty hard - All for my summer of training like an idiot seeing if I can get good at Brazillian Ju Jitsu - Possibly the best art ever created!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone! doing whatever and from where ever. This site is all about networking and stuff so lets get into the spirit of it. Also Im hoping to chat with people about films and animation, especially Japanese and German Films as Im learning the language and want to get a better of idea of what films I should watch. Also proud to say ive been to the Mitaka cartoon museum in Tokyo - Mononoke no hime for example amd spirited away were made by the company that runs it. AMazing place.

Music:

MOstly guitar based music but the sound tracks out of lord of the rings and last of the mohicans was pretty dam good.Death metal: Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy and Napalm death Heavy metal: NEVERMORE!!!, Children of Bodom Nu metal: Fear factory (should I class them as that??) Prog metal: Dream theater, Evergrey, Areon, Masterplan, Mercenary, Symphonyx, Adagio. Rock: not sure...... Weird stuff: Primus, Ozrics Misc: Satrian, Vai, Stanley JordanLamb of God have just sprung up on the musical Radar for me, the song "redneck" is amazing, and theyve put up on myspace for free.... go enjoyTheres a million more, trust me. I've just named the bands I've been listening to lately

Movies:

I love films but I hate this new stream of pish coming from Hollywood right now. Theres different films for different times but theres just no excuse for just how bad some films are.... like Resident Evil 2: Probably the worst film ever made, acting, story, directing.... everything about this film is crap

Television:

I fecking love the UFC (thats the ultimate Fighting championships to anyone not in know). Its on bravo or player most nights. Its not for everyone but it is an exciting sport with a hell of an amount of skill and its growing as a sport, so you guys should take note: www.ufc.com

Books:

My phase reading about Serial killers far behind me, Im not a wannabe just I like to read about extreme people and finding out what people and the world are all about good and bad. Instructional stuff too but im open to anything that makes me think..... crime fiction novels are a NO though.

Heroes:

Devin Townsend, Steve Vai, Jeff Loomis, Andre Arlovski, Matt Hughes, George St. Pierre, Tito Ortiz (the guy who inspired me to take up martial arts), Stewie Griffen and Myself..... oh and michel Thomas, Language teaching Guru.
