Below is a video from my previous Rush tribute band Afterimage. I ran out of time to continue with the project, but this is some decent footage from 2007.

Up above is a video filmed on 6/2/07 of me doing my rendition of Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption"
The first song in the player, "Baba Wankage in D" is just something I threw together in 5 minutes on my home recording computer. It's just me "wanking off" to a backing track of prerecorded music. Hopefully, I will be putting more music up as time permits, but my band is pretty busy at the moment, so we'll see. The other songs are very old, but all I had for mp3's when I first got on myspace.
"The Heart That Never Lies" is an instrumental I wrote and recorded, including programming the drum machine and recording the bass, keyboards, and guitars. I borrowed the drum machine and 8-track recorder from friends, and without any instructions, somehow figured out how to create this recording. It was complete in the early 1990's, but sometime around 1994 I came up with a "better" solo, and went back to record it. I can remember having my speaker cabinet in the closet mic'd up to record it! I STILL really enjoy this song, it's the first song I ever wrote all by myself. I had previous bands that wrote original material together, but this was my first baby, and not a bad piece of music to come up with for a 19 year old!
"Live To See Another Day" was a song my high school band (Eclipse) recorded in the late 1980's. I played bass and lead guitar on that track. My two friends would write the music, but always needed a bass player and a lead guitarist to finish the song off. I can remember them saying, "okay, here's the song, now come up with a solo section that fits, record it, and the song will be finished!"
I'm the lead guitarist for the band Bigg Romeo. I am here to network with other people and musicians, to hopefully meet some people and have them check out my projects and share my music, also to possibly work with other musicians, etc. I started around the time I was 10 years old, and played my first paying gig at the age of 13. In my teens, I gained recording studio experience, and also played in the pit during a recreation of Jesus Christ Superstar. Since then, I have been playing around the PA/NJ/DE/MD music scene. I can also play bass and a little keys, create vocal harmonies and sing backup and lead vocals. I have played every kind of gig from backyard BBQ's to weddings and corporate events. I have also had the pleasure to be on the VH-1 show "Cover Wars" in 2001 and to play with Sammy Hagar for a promotional event.
I play PRS and Ibanez guitars exclusively, and my live rig consists of a small rack with a Sennheiser G2 wireless system, and a TC Electronics G-major, which controls my amp, a Traynor YCS50 1x12 combo amplifier, via midi. I'll sometimes use my Avatar 4x12 cabinet for larger, outdoor gigs. On the floor, I have a Rolls midibuddy to control everything, and if I'm feeling saucy, an Area 51 modded crybaby wah pedal, a Korg DT-10, a Digitech Bad Monkey.
