About Me



Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox !

Hello! Ryan's the name. I love heavy metal music and I also enjoy going to a lot of metal concerts. The energy in them is the best.
Hoping to do photography soon (need photoshop!!!) for concerts (something I just picked up on recently). It's difficult, but exciting to do.
Bit of a quiet guy, but also a bit of a nice guy, and I don't mind whatever other people like/dislike.
As for people who want to add me as a friend, please show a picture of yourself.....Please don't be someone who thinks he's some anime character (I'm getting this quite a lot lately), or band fan pages (I'm only going to accept 1 or 2, but only because they got permission or something from the official band) as for any promotions or other groups etc....it'll depends on what you are.
In the meantime, enjoy my page. All the best to everyone.

My Interests

Art, music (metal), computers(ps2, xbox 360, the pc...), Animes (Hellsing, Bleach and Akira for example...the action/violent animes, not the silly kiddy stuff), my bass guitar!

I'd like to meet:

People who are just sound, and great to talk to... and heavy metal bands, of course.

Music:


Metal music....just love it. Favourite genre out of all the metal genres would be Thrash & Progressive Metal (evenly). Also like Power, Old school Heavy metal & Death metal, aswell as Grindcore and some Metalcore (Alot of Metalcore sucks though). Not really a Black Metal fan (though I do make some exceptions), and I do not like Emo music.
