Music:

Metallica, Maiden, Rainbow, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Queen, Sky.....Classic rock is my main interest, as you may have gleened from that little snippet of my musical likes. I also really love lazz and blues. Personally, probably the best place you can go to is a good jazz gig and just relax!Classical music is also of major intrest to me, having played a large repetoire of orchestral music allready in the CCVG Youth Orchestra, ranging from Mahler Symphonies to Gershwin Ovetures. Haven't acctualy played much of the earlyer stuff due to the tuba not existing befor the 1850's!!I also really enjoy listening to a lot of christian music. Some of you who read this may be surprised, but there is a ot of very good christian bands and artists out there, such as Phil Keaggy, Matt Redman, 3rd Day, John Elliphante, Deamon Hunter, Audio Adrenalin, and many more.

Movies:

Star Wars (all of them), 13th Warrior, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and loads more. I generally like action/andventure movies, be they the ultra violent sort, for instance Starship Troopers(though they could've made more of the violent part!!:P) or really good plot line, like 13th Warrior, princess bride or Star Wars. Also, pretty much anything by Mel Brooks!

Television:

Love Mythbusters!! Graet show! Also star Trek (Yeh, I know *Rolls eyes*), Stargate, CSI Las Vagas, Miami and NY, and really like House! Written by an American, Preformed by a Britt!! Who'd've guessed that Hugh Lawrie could be so good eh?!

Terry Prachette. What more needs to be said!!

Heroes:

Abraham Laboriel, Leeland Sklar, John Entwhistle, Sting, Tim Cummerford, Billy Sheehan, Robert Trujillo, me dad, the lot of em bassists!
