About Me

Hard rock / metal, side project from my main concentration ’FURY UK’! I’ve done everything solo. Guitar, bass, keyboards, plus drum & synth programming! These recordings are a little old, i recorded them a few years ago, but quality wise for what it is, it hasnt dated.
Im a lover of the early blues heroes of the 60s & 70s such as, Peter Green, Eric Clapton movin to the 80s, Gary Moore, Pat Travers mixed with the technical drama such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani (the typical 2) but with more in-depth players such as John Petrucci, Richie Kotzen, Doug Aldrich, Tony Iommi, Richie Blackmore, Jason Becker etc.
Taking musical influences from Dream Theater, Deep Purple, Iommi, AC/DC, Van Halen, Rush. I never really try to concentrate on songwriting to what is mainstream, popular, or even what is best to ’show-off’ to the listeners. I just love playing, and do what i like doing. No remote attention to what is going on around me, i just do it and try and pump it out from my heart.
I’ve been playing since age 10, original guitar influence from my dad ’Mark’, he got me into playing, influenced me, and still does. He can hit blues rock harder than a ’stone in the sky.’ hehe.
Let us know what you think everyone.
Cheers
