"He's a crack head and a tree hugger, but he does have a bass sound like the devil's windchimes and he plays an 8 string. That counts for something." - Karl Simon of The Gates of Slumber , in reference to me. I play "at" a 12 string bass now.
I don't really fit into anything. I am who I am. I strongly discourage you from trying to change me in order to make me either like your idealized homo sapien or something more familiar to you and your own small mindedness. If you want to know me, you had better accept me, warts and all.
I AM 42% WHITE TRASH! The white trash in my blood will not keep me from becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but it will keep me from a good haircut and any sort of fashion sense. Take the WHITE TRASH test at Fuali.com
Oh, you're still reading this. Ok, I'll throw you some biographical scraps. I'm a college graduate who's returned to the blue collar life of my childhood by working in a warehouse as a wage slave. I'm part of the comedy group Attention Deficit Theater. I also dabble in multimedia and promotional work for Indiana-based metal bands. I'm getting frighteningly better at audio/video production; I may make a career out of this. I also do the occasional freelance "rawk" journalism and photography for webzines such as SeedsOfEvil.com and Indymetal.com.
I make half-assed attempts at trying to find further meaning and purpose to my life before it ends. I have WAY too many interests and don't make enough time for any of them, really, and it will only get worse with age. I play a 12 string bass in Unholy Mockery . I'm probably doing all of this to distract myself from the fact that I have no chance of getting laid, let alone finding that mythical "soul mate". I feel no need to make myself more socially acceptable just to pick up women. Therefore, work is the one thing that validates my life. Anti-depressants help as well.
"But I also love the rebel element of making heavy music. Metal's this great working-class anti-establishment form of music for people that hate fluffy pop songs. The hardness of it, and all the lyrics about people being filleted with big knives or having their heads chopped off, these things help it stay underground. It will never be the music that cultured people play in flashy clubs while they drink cocktails or try and pick up women. Generally, they want something... lighter." - Ian Hill, bassist, Judas Priest
"Socio and economically speaking, most rock and heavy metal fans are not as well off as most alternative and pop fans. Most people who listen to alternative and pop are a little different than the heavy metal fan or the rock fan. Most heavy metal and rock fans are hardworking blue-collar people. Every once in a while Ill come across a lawyer or a doctor who likes heavy metal, but for the most part its not like that." - Dave Mustaine, vocalist/guitarist, Megadeth
"And isn't it ironic that death metal is the first form of rock music that has caught on with poor people over the world. When I was in Brazil, I was told that all rock music and punk was scorned by the people of the slums. It didn't speak to them. They thought of it as a bourgeois [art] form they didn't want to have anything to do with. They would rather listen to samba or death metal. Death metal is popular from Moldavia to Cuba." - Jello Biafra, former vocalist, The Dead Kennedys
