About Me

I design AlterBridgeBand.net and Mark-Tremonti.com so this page could well be heavily Alter Bridge orientated at times. Feel free to add me if you are into Alter Bridge or Mark Tremonti.

I'm currently doing my BA (Hons) in Fine Art but want to pursue graphic design and web design. I play guitar and may put up some clips some time but need new equipment first and i'm broke. Bla bla bla...

I've just started to drive..well.. not so long ago.. and I AM the Stig. Ok.

I edited my profile using another site coz i'm being lazy and i've lost my touch, check out these Myspace Layouts! I know.. i've sold out.

My Interests

Play guitar, do art, graphic design, Football (soccer), Pool/snooker,
Alter Bridge.

I'd like to meet:

Mark Tremonti and the other guys (again), Rachel, girl of my dreams (lol) and you?

Music:

Rock music, pretty much anything with some good guitar in it.

AC/DC, Alter Bridge, Audioslave, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, Coldplay (at times.. shock horror), Creed, Deep Purple, Disturbed (the songs i know anyway), Eric Clapton, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Santana, Sevendust, SRV, Steve Vai, Staind (Break The Cycle), Stereophonics sometimes, Submersed, The Mars Volta, The Mayfield Four, Troy Stetina, Velvet Revolver - to a point + many more when i can think of some others.. or when i can be bothered. But you get the picture. Guitar orientated stuff. I'll listen to pretty much anything with some half decent guitar in, electric or otherwise, even if i'm not a major fan and only know a certain number of songs (which is also the case in one or two of the above bands listed). I appreciate a lot of things that might seem unexpected for me as long as it's not hip hop mostly.

I saw her in an empty bar
the smell of wine and cheap cigars
trigger visions of her face to this day
we tried to dance for years to come
but two can't lead and waltz as one
we loved and learned
and learned to love
but it was not enough

foolish pride got in our way

(chorus) She could take my heart and soul
she could take my hand to hold
but why'd she have to take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
she could want or ever need
don't make me pay for all the past please

So now we're living far apart
I hope to god our paths don't cross
this may seem shallow..but her beauty makes me weak
I long to hold her once again
and reconcile and then give in
to realize that later on we made the same mistake

Hold on to the lessons you've learned

(Chorus) She could take my heart and soul
she could take my hand to hold
but why'd she have to take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
she could want or ever need
don't make me pay for all the past

So much to tow
bogged down with all the history to hold
the blame fell hard on me
apologies were too short lived
she never really could forgive mistakes

She took my heart
she took my soul
she took my fragile hand to hold
she took advantage all the time
I'll take her back cause her love makes me blind

Movies:

Action/adventure, military... generally the blokey sort. Some comedy as long as it actually is funny. some comedy films try too hard.

Watched this again today. I can't help but laugh every time i watch it.

Television:

Lost at the moment. Spooks, Ultimate Force, Casualty was ok with Leanne Wilson in it. lol. er...a whole load of classic comedies - Only Fools and Horses etc. My Family... coz i'm sure a lot of families can relate to it. lol. Can't think of much else right now.. i usually watch football or films on tv if anything. TOP GEAR! oh.. and you can't fault classics like the A-Team now can ya?

Books:

Books by Dan Brown,
Chris Ryan,
Andy McNab.
I'm a guy.

Heroes:

Guitar influence is Mark Tremonti
