MUSIC'S IN MY BLOOD

About Me



Pimp out your webpage with PimpWebpage

I'm a self taught guitarist who started playing at age 16 when most folks get their first car, i wanted a guitar. I lived in San Diego at the time and started a band there with friends Steve & Danny Frey, writing our own stuff which at the time(1979) was a breakthrough cross between punk and metal, which by the late '80's became known as "speed metal". Upon moving back to Missouri in 1981, I became more practicle with my playing and started using it to play in the club scene around the area. I've been in several bands since then playing all styles of music and have an on going project since 1995 with the band Roll-n-Thunder, whom has done many USO tours since 1996, and still dedicates their time to doing USO/AFE tours. We are currently in the writing stage of a new CD and hope to do a USO circuit tour in the near future.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 26/06/2006
Band Members: All of the stuff on this site is solo instrumental, I'm playing all the instruments, using a drum sequencer as the only machine, used for percussion.
Influences: Way too many to list!!! early on i would have to say the Beatles influenced me to be a musician, and Van Halen's debute album convinced me I could do it if I tried. Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd were a huge influence on me once i began playing and writing as well as Ted Nugent, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath. Then came Randy Rhoades, and blew me away!! since then I've had so much exposure to all types of music, that i expanded my playing to more than just the guitar and started banging on keyboards and anything else i could get ahold of.
Sounds Like: a maniac run wild
Type of Label: Major
