BERUBE STEW!!!

About Me

Berube Stew @ www.braingell.com !***TUESDAY 8-11PM*** ***SATURDAY 11-2AM*** (note all times are eastern standard time)The show I do is called "Berube Stew" at www.braingell.com . It is so named because I play eeeeeeeeevery type of metal... Its a "stew" get it?!?!I also have been known to zing with country, rap, jazz, swing, top40, disco, bubblegum, or whatever the hell fits the mood.I like to run my show off of the mood and antics of the chatroom. If you come in bitching about Celine Dion, you can BET YOUR ASS I am gonna torture you with a little of it... I do corny shit like that to keep everyone involved and for everyone to have fun.If you have requests, by all means, LEMME HAVE EM!I like to mix shit all up every show so you never know what is coming next. Sometimes I do themes, sometimes I dont. Sometimes im in a heavy "death" mood, other times im in a silly dancy mood... etc...I guarantee, if you like metal you will ALWAYS hear songs you like in the Stew.And another angle of my shows... I like to educate people about music. I love telling stuff bout the bands, or certain songs... I also like to show the "kids" what they have missed... I cant tell you how many times I have mentioned "Earth Wind and Fire" on a show and a 20 year old says, "Who?!?" Thats where i gotta play a snippet. Gotta entertain AND educate, to steer the kiddies toward having an open mind, ya know?!?Look... Just show up for my fuckin show... If you dont like it I will give you your money back (minus shipping and handling).See ya'll in the Stew!www.braingell.comNow maybe you would like to know stuff about me...I was raised by parents who played Rod Stewart, Doobie Brothers, Pink Floyd, Earth Wind and Fire, Joe Cocker, America, and blah blah blah... Well I inherited all of their tastes plus develped tons of my own.I have been a musician since 4th grade and am a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and sax player. I can sing too! After high school I ended up shlepping gear and "doing lights" in nightclubs and on the road... I have worked with tons of bands in tons of styles, but the biggest road stories i have would definately come either from working with Pantera and Wrathchild America.Other bands of "metal interest" i have worked with are: Faith No More, Death, White Zombie, Rush, Deftones, Lynch Mob, XYZ, Vinnie Moore, Don Dokken, Kreator, Morbid Angel, Doro, Dangerous Toys, Motorhead, Overkill, Savatage, Ramones, Life Sex & Death, Testament, Stu Hamm with Alex Skolnick, and oh yeah dont forget Trixter!!! Anyway there lots of others I dont remember off the top of my head, but u get the picture, right?There is all kinds of other crap about me, but I dont really care to type about much else... Tell ya what... Wanna know something in particular?!? Contact me for the answers to your questions!

My Interests

Music is really the main one... Im a drummer, bassist, guitarist, and sax player. Metal is my poison, but I also dig the jazz, hiphop, swing, rockabilly.... Im sure there are others Im not thinking about.

I'd like to meet:

Can't really think of anyone I would WANT to meet, but I can think of LOTS of people who I would like to give a piece of my mind to... Who? Oh, anyone that pisses me off I guess... How bout.... G. W. Bush! I'd love to tell him what a worthless F*** he is. Theres LOTS more that get the same view from me... But, lets not go there...

Music:

Listen to BrainGell Radio here and come check out the site
www.BrainGell.com

Movies:

I pretty much like just about anything, 'cept super-girly crap and foreign.

Television:

Battlestar Galactica, Lost, 24, Metal Mania, Headbangers Ball, Dirty Jobs, American Chopper... F it... just add all shows from TLC and Discovery Channel.

Books:

Star Wars books... thats it... nuthin else.

Heroes:

Me... I shouldn't be alive and I shouldn't be successful, but as mom says, "You are the god damn luckiest person on this planet."
