About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Thanks for checking out this profile!!
PS. If youre a band, and NOT metal, dont bother adding me to your bands friend list :)

My Interests

Well, the biggest thing in my life has to be heavy metal, I live breathe and worship it. I love playing guitar and have now been doing so for 6 years, I've been involved in many bands, including the legendary Leg-End X and I've currently a new project which is shaping up rather nicely called Enmity and I also play bass but no longer so in a band.
Guitar wise, it's ALL ABOUT IBANEZ. There is no other guitar make on the planet that can compare. Nuff said. I'm using Laney amps because they are simply amazing, and under-rated (So I put a link on this page). Strings, D'addario all the way.
Outside of music, I'm taking a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology, and I'm likely to take that to PhD level (Unless I get signed)
I also enjoying surfing/body boarding whenever I get the chance, but I havent done it for quite some time.
Another kick of mine is running University Societies;
Aston Rock Society President 2004/05
Aston Live Musician's Society 2005/06
Aston Metal Society Secretary 2005/06
Aston Metal Society President 2006/07I really have enjoyed Uni wayy too much. :D
