About Me


Your Birthdate: April 18
Your birthday on the 18th day of the month suggests than you are one who can work well with a group, but still remain someone who needs to maintain individual identity.There is a humanistic or philanthropic approach to business circumstances in which you find yourself.You may have good executive abilities, as you are very much the organizer and administrator.You are broad-minded, tolerant and generous; a compassionate person that can inspire others with imaginative ideas.Some of your feelings may be expressed, but even more of them are apt to be repressed.There is a lot of drama in your personality and in the way you express yourself to others.Oddly enough, you don't expect as much in return as you give. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
I'm a bass guitar playing, combination old-school, nu-school metalhead that is still cruising along at age 46. I work in the tire wholesaling industry. I graduated from Kent State University in 1991. I am single. I have experienced the joys & horrors of the institution called "marriage". I have 2 bands that I play in at the present:
1) The home of the Four Horsemen-tribute to Metallica or
The MySpace page of The Four Horsemen
2) The Nightmare-tribute to Alice Cooper
During the 90's, I played with Miscellaneous Debris . I also played with R.U. Deadly in 2006 and my old KISS trib UNMASKED.
I have done the original band thing with some success. R.U. Deadly released a total of 16 well recorded songs. We directly opened for Manowar, Pat Travers, Blue Oyster Cult, Blackfoot, Slaughter, LA Guns, Molly Hatchet, Noisy Mama, & Chastain(twice).
You are Kyle Brovlofski. You are smart, cute, and
logical. You're normally good at explaining
things and can have a bad temper. But you're
also very sensitive.

Jack Bauer
You are Jack Bauer!!! You always save the day, you have a sexy voice, and have the longest days too often. Almost all of your love interest's die or just get sick of your need to save the world. Your not afraid of sticking it to the man, and if people would listen to you things would get done a lot faster.

Most metal moment onstage Doing a Billy Sheehan-esque bass solo with brand-new Blue Steel bass strings on my Fernandes bass in Wheeling, WV in front of about 150 screaming metal heads. Horns up, dude!
Spinal Tap moment- When I was in War Pigs, they accidently started the intro music for the show(O Fortunata by Orrff) before realizing I was not in the building. They dropped the curtain & there was only 3 of us on stage. So, they started it again(intro). I had gone to get my date, & was walking in hearing the intro(unbeknownst to me, started for the second time). I ran down & grabbed my bass & joined in. It was nice to know they missed me not being there...LOL!

No psycho slayer is going to get between you and your right to life. You're an ass-kicker, a charge taker, and if need be, a monster masher. You're level-headed in sticky situations, you trust yout instincts, and you're not afraid to get a little dirty while getting the job done. Simply put, you rock! But don't get carried away. Even though your little brother might act like a creep sometimes, you definately shouldn't be driving stakes through his heart!

Television:

24

(the countdown is to next week's episode of 24)
and also South Park, Reno 911, Sportcenter, Pardon the Interruption, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, VH1 Classic.

When I Grow Up, I want To Be: Gomez Adams Why: He's an independently wealthy, eccentric dude with a sensuous gothic wife & 2 kids. He has the freedom to spend his days wrecking toy trains or carrying on with wife ;). I think the eccentricity & freedom in his life is what really appeals to me.
