I am the Owner/Engineer of Rampage Sound Studios. Click the Link on this page. I'm one of the Lead Guitarists for Xhibition, a Melodic Hard Rock CD Band.
I've been playing Guitar since 1979 and been in many bands and projects over the years. I heard Highway to Hell by AC/DC and that was it... I had to play guitar. Brought out my old clarinet books and transposed it all to guitar.
Some of my influences as a Guitar Player are (Early on) Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC's Angus Young. Then I progressed as a player, got into Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, Def Leppard (Pete Willis Days), Vivian Campbell (Dio), Gary Moore, John Sykes (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Tygers of Pan Tang). I then really listened to Blizzard of Oz with Randy Rhoads, and it was over... I went out and got everything I could on him, started refining my style as a guitar player. More Modern Day Players I enjoy listening to Steve Vai, Joe Satraini, John Pettrucci (All fellow Long Islanders), Alan Holdsworth, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch, Tommy Alderidge (Double Bass Drummer Extrodinaire), Billy Sheehan (Bass Extrodinaire), Mike Portnoy (Drummer for Dream Theatre) and many more. I now listen to almost all kinds of music for ideas and inspirations.
I've Recorded Produced & Engineered & Mastered many Indie and A/R CD Projects both local and international artists.
I love the outdoors, movies, spending time w/ others. Ya wanna know something about me... ask me. I'm a very open person as you will find out.
Come on back soon. Thanks for reading.... Ciao
