About Me

"Music was my first love and it will be my last,music of the future and music of the past" (John Miles)

My name is Michael and I live in the wild south of Germany. I think It’s hard to describe myself. I’ve been a rock music fan for many years and I and can't get enough of it. I love to go to concerts and festivals. My all- time favorites are Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow, The Doors, Rory Gallagher and Alice Cooper, but I’m also open-minded about all kind of rock music like Tool, Muse, Turbonegro, Oasis, Faith No More or Queens Of The Stone Age. I love to party all day and all of the night but life doesn’t exclusively consist of party. I’m a meditative guy with all his idiosyncrasies ;) If you would like to know anything, just ask, I will try to give you an answer! Don’t be shy, I won’t bite...
