About Me

Music...Obsessed with playing it, writing it, organising it via gigs/shows, etc... It's a healthy habit...ha ha...I play guitar, drums, bass, keyboards and vocals...As i said, i love music! Something to do!?Like cooking, eating and chilling with "buds" and my good buds...heh hehJust being content to be happy, Happy to be content.You've got to smile lots, because it actually takes more facial muscles to frown, so being the kinda semi-lazy bloke I am, THAT'S MORE HASSLE I DON'T NEED!!! Heh heh /Just a normal kinda guy, I'm honest, likeable and above all friendly. This world is too divided as it is, so the more we all pull together, the better is it as far as I am concerned. /Politics and such subjects are fine for debating, but you've got to honestly admit... Anything that serious that so badly managed has got to funny, right!? Correct me if I'm wrongI've been lucky enough to meet someone who I care for very much and who actually puts up with my randomness and beastly habits. So thanks Alison (or Ali, as she prefers to be known as), you've filled in that void in my soul. NOW MAKE ME TEA WENCH!!! HAHAHA!

Crushing Extreme Metal: In This Defiance Heaving Alt-Rock/Metal: Enochian Theory

Solo Material: Benedict Hayes

My Interests

Trying to not feel too crap about everything while keeping a big stupid grin on my face...heh heh Writing music...Many genres..as long as it feels good inside when you play it. Screw what anyone else thinks!... They don't have to play it do they?... You don't like it, go listen to fucking Greenday you fucketty fucking fuck!...Hanging out with my ickle Scottish honey, Ali. She's good for me and I'm thankful for that. Your hand in mine...WWW.INTHISDEFIANCE.COM / WWW.ENOCHIANTHEORY.CO.UK

I'd like to meet:

Any persons who aren't full of it and are straight talking. I'm an open-minded kinda bloke and have no problems with anyone or anything. Anyone anywhere, Let's converse...coz you may just have met the best person you'll ever meet!

Music:

Anything..as long as it hits the right note (Excuse the bad pun...heh heh) So many bands and artists, there's no point in listing them all. Who reads them anyway!? (Well...I do actually...doh...heh heh) Ok, here's a few that impress me no end: MESHUGGAH / Tool / AT THE DRIVE IN / Devin Townsend / NIGHTMARES ON WAX / Pantera / SLAYER / The Mars Volta / THE BLACK DHALIA MURDER / Portishead / LTJ BUKEM / Nick Drake / PIG DESTROYER / Iron and Wine / KATATONIA / Hope Sandoval/ DALLAS GREEN / Squarepusher / EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY / Aphex Twin / TOTO/ Prince / Jose Gonzalez / THE BLACK DHALIA MURDER / Van Morrison and many many more.../ CHECK OUT WWW.INTHISDEFIANCE.COM and WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ENOCHIANTHEORYBAND and WWW.MYSPACE.COM/BENEDICTHAYESAnd all the bands I used to listen to that still own a part of me...

Movies:

Ummm...Transformers - The Movie anyone? ha ha The Life Of David Gale / Rainman /

Television:

T.V is irritating and a worthless distraction kiddies. Read a book, Scour the 'ever reliable' internet for your news, Make your own entertainment...have a wank maybe? Buy a DVD of your fave shows if ya have to... Oh...and speaking of downloadable DVD action, Family Guy! ;) Simpsons, Spaced, The A-Team, Neruto...more more more!

Books:

Too many...Brian Lumley, Stephen King, Mr Ellis, James Herbert, Poppy Z Brite

Heroes:

Woah...anyone who has the conviction to believe in themselves and what they want to do...no matter how high they are... ROFLCOPTER Mr Thordendal, Mr Kidman, Mr Hagstrom and Mr Haake... Legends! Mr Keenan, Mr Jones, Mr Chancellor and Mr Carey... Beautiful freaks! and of course, My lord and master... DEVIN TOWNSEND!!! So many other too, they make me think "Man, Your done especially well! Thanks for the memories."
