Lord Grandmaster Funk the Third

About Me

Hola. That's Spanish, for how dooo. I'm James, or Jam as most people call me. That has nothing to do with the stuff you eat, but simply a shortening of my name. I knooow! I'm doing a geology degree at Leeds Uni, the proper one, which rocks! I'm originally from Hull, which i think gets a bad press, it's not that bad! Honest. I love rock music, but old rock music, from back in the day when it could actually be called rock. None of this new-fangled stuff. I attempt to play the guitar and bass. More of the bass though. That's pretty funky. I think and day dream a lot, maybe a bit too much, and not really about anything in particular. I have a lot of free time on my hands so my mind tends to wander. I play football every now and then, just a kick about though, nothing proper. I also do thai boxing, which is quite fun. Rocking! I like to be in bed by 8... and home by 11.

My Interests

Well my main interest is music, either playing it or listening to it. I try to play the guitar and bass. I watch a lot of films so i suppose that counts as an interest. Football's quite interesting, as are most sports really.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet Brian May, he's a leg end.

Music:

Rock music! But mainly the old stuff, i'm not a fan of most things modern. I'll listen to most stuff though, Blues, Soul, Reggae, Funk, Country, Folk, Jazz etc. My favouritest bands would have to be... prepare for the list... Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Queen, Iron Maiden, Guns n Roses, Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, Foreigner, Kinks, Cream, Supertramp, KISS, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Eagles, Rainbow, Lynyrd Skynyrd, RHCP, RATM, Bob Marley, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Rush, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Lionel Richie, Norah Jones, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, Parliament/Funkadelic, Metallica, Michael Jackson, Eminem, NWA, De La Soul... Etc. Etc. Not rubbish stuff like indie though, that's shit! As is all this techno stuff.

Movies:

Comedies are my favourite. Austin Powers, Spinal Tap, Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Anchorman and many more. Shaft! Kiddy films are nice, Toy Story and Shrek par example. Stuff like Gladiator and Last Samurai is good toooo. Like action stuff, mans films! Forrest Gump's ace. Kindergarten Cop's definately a favourite, "I'm a cop, you idiot!"

Television:

My favourite TV programme has to be Father Ted, it's aaace. I like most comedies really, as long as they're silly. League of Gentlemen, Ali G, Bo' Selecta, The Office, Operation good guys, Family guy, American dad etc. My parents are aliens is ace! And blue peter, can't forget that. Stuff where you learn things are quite good, like programmes about the Aztecs that are on at about 3 o'cock in the morning.

Books:

I'm not really that into reading. Do enjoy the odd Stephen King book though. Read a few Bill Bryson books too.

Heroes:

I don't really have any heroes. Maybe ace guitar people, such as Brian May, Slash, Angus Young, Jimmy Page, Dave Gilmour etc. I think Arnie and Mr. T deserve a special mention here too. Stan Smith (American dad) and Quagmire (Family guy) are also leg ends.
