Joe Jam

About Me

Hi I'm Joe, I enjoy Tim Burton and Adam Sandler movies, music, lucid dreaming, Cheese It Party Mix, the letter W, and dystopian novels. I play guitar, piano, harmonica, and mandolin. I have an amazing girlfriend. My yahoo messenger ID is jluegers. Talk to me sometime.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 29/10/2005
Band Members: Joe Jam was a band I tried to start in middle school. There aren't many bands in middle school so a lot of people wanted to join, and I let them join. Eventually we had 75 members (I don't know why I needed break dancers and security). However as far as the music went I realised that I was the one doing everything. So ironicly Joe Jam is now a one man band. Just me playing everything (except the drums which are made with a computer program.)
Influences: Pink Floyd, Danny Elfman, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Nicolo Pagannini, Franz Liszt, Led Zeppelin, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, Joe Satriani, Neil Young, Alax Traylor
Sounds Like: Sounds like hard-rock instrumental versions of my favorite classic rock songs or slow, eerie, original songs. Yea my original songs always end up in clean.
Record Label: If I told you that I would have to kill you

Looking For Musicians

Quit the Band

Well after much consideration I decided to quit To Die For. I had a great time but metal just isn't for me. Don't get me wrong, I like some metal like The Mars Volta and Rob Zombie but have never been...

The Lowdown

My band changed its name to Eclipse because we were tired of explaining to people that even though our band name was Name Pending we weren't pending a name we were just lazy. Why are we called Eclipse...

Goings on

Wow

I think last night I did some of the best guitar playing in my life. I broke a string right before the show and accidently put it in standard tuning once I replaced it. So, not being able to play...
