---Die Young & Live Forever---
---Classic Rock & Heavy Metal Honors---
I desired to create this one as a virtual place where I can be not only in contact with some of my friends and Dragon lovers, but as a tribute too, to them and to those legendary Classic Rock Bands that I have been listening since my early days until now... they gave me the primary reason of the desire to study my career (Sound - Engineering).
This kind of music is one of the styles that I like the most and feel more akin to one of my most important ways of being... Hard Rock and Heavy Metal (in so many times and memorable situations) had been in my life and became the icons or representations of what I have been and lived along these years... starting from my growth as a (creature) person and finishing on my own career. I was dreaming on how those great songs were created while I used to play the drums with my brother, then I had one of the most important opportunities in my life: to visit a true and high class end recording studio here in Mexico City owned by Stuart Wiley (Audio & Video International Productions), Producer & Recording Engineer from New York. When he saw my passion for the music and knew that it was one of my dreams to be there, he invited (and honored) me to work with him as a production assistant, starting the next week following my visit (October 1996) with the only condition that I had to begin to study Sound Engineering as soon as possible... I was really shocked and amazed, it was just almost unbelievable and didn't wanted to wake up from that dream that changed my life forever... Until now I still dreaming and hope to still living like this lasting long.
When I began to see how this space works and saw the Music area where some bands are registered, the idea of create this place as it is took it's form. After I finished the design, I began to contact and add as friends to those spaces related to the best Hard Rock - Heavy Metal bands ever (considered by me of course) but specially the Classics, sadly forgotten or unknown by the "Nu" generations that sometimes doesn't care about it except for what they are listening right now or is fashionable (I really really hate that).
I owe too much and by so many reason to the Hard Rock / Heavy Metal music. I think that it's time to make some kind of contribution in exchange and well, here it is... maybe its very insignificant compared to what this music means to everyone of us or to me, but I did it with all my heart and soul, following my feelings just as I do every time I make a record, learn something new and many other things. While one of us still alive and do something to keep the Classic Rock Songs alive and way of life related to it, I'm sure that will never, never die. My full support goes to those bands or musicians who gave us (I mean to everyone who likes the classics Rock styles, like it or not) a true legacy.
So please, feel free to leave your comments and be welcome. Receive this space (all of you) as a Tribute, true show of Respect, Appreciation and as a way to share a very important part of my world. Thank you very much for everything, for make this happen since back then until now and my best wishes.
If you want to know more about me, feel free too to ask, but never dare to judge me without know me first. What you see on this virtual space is just one but truly important side & part of me... you will never know the core of something or someone just based on the "superficial" appearance without looking far beyond.
Dont forget to read between the lines.
Sincerely. David Dellepiane.
Sound - Recording Engineer.
