About Me

Shakey had a love for music since the age of 8 when he first played on an Old Vintage Organ Piano, and hanging around his Uncle John and listening to all the Classic Rock Bands, and his Uncle taking him to his first Rock Concert in 1978 at the age of 10, Black Sabbath with special guest Van halen. The concert opened up with the spotlight on Eddie Van Halen Playing Eruption on stage at The Spectrum in Philly in 1978, that's when his life changed forever. But Guitar wasn't his first love, He Pleaded with his Parents for several years to get him a Drum Set For x-mas, it never happened. Then in 1982 at the age of 14 Shakey got his first Guitar & Amp, he played for hours every night, learning how to play on his own & learning his favorite songs for a Year then joined his first Cover Band called Rebellion in 1983, from there he spent the next couple of years playing in & out of Cover Bands until 1989 when he started to write his own music and formed a short lived Original Band called Enemy Force that he fronted and played Lead Guitar in for a year, took a few years off when his Daughter Brittany came into his life, and came back in 1992 with a Band called King's Ransom that he eventually Fronted & Played Lead Guitar in, from 1992-95! Metal music was dying off so it took KR with it..Shakey not happy with the change of times, took off a few more years (Miserable Years)And then picked up his favorite instrument the Drums in 1998, he played in Bands The Rough Riders and Cryonic until returning to Lead Guitar in 2000 to form Hangmans Cry and try to bring the Music he loved Old School Metal back out on the scene, Shakey took over the Frontman duties in 2001 and has done everything in his power to keep the band striving through it's many turmoils in it's six years of exsistence! He also Fronts a Hair Metal Tribute Band called Mane Attraction, his Love and Passion for his bands and his Love & Passion to Sing, Perform, & Please His Fans shows when he is on Stage, and his goal is to give a 110% at every show and make everyone who comes out to see his shows wanting to come back for more & more!Layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts

A few that are personal influences to my life..Like Eddie Van Halen, who I saw play when I was 10 years old at The Spectrum in Philly..It was a religious experience, it made me want to be a musician..Howard Stern, because I always wanted to be a radio Dj, matter of fact I will be going to school for that this spring..Howard mostley because he had the balls to speak about things no one else would have the balls to do..But most of all to the ordinary working people who have to get up everyday and earn a living for themselves and their families, they are the real heroes...
