I love many many more bands, pretty much anything from classical mozart to the heaviest of metal(Battle, Death, Black, you name it), its all good in my opinion. What i try to always remember, no matter what kind of music it is, it takes talent to produce it, so i try to always respect all music, even if i absolutely hate it, some other mother fucker out there might really dig it and get something sweet out of it. So i always respect music for what the people who made it, put into it.

I have read some pretty kick ass books, I usually like books that i can relate to in some way, I like a lot of books that are about ancient history and stuff. I like a lot of rock n' roll books, I like a book called Rock Star Super Star, yes I know crappy title, but its a good book, I like the star wars books, ummm I like quite a few books but I usually just don't find the time to read, The Divinci code its awesome, I loved Virtues of War by Steven Pressfield about Alexander the Great and i also love Buddha by Deepak Chopra. Those two by far are my favorite books yet to date. I also love a lot of guitar mags like musicians friend and stuff, but i also like a lot of books that are about the philosophy's of life and just a better more peaceful way to live, a lot of books that people wrote to long ago and never got recognition for there brilliant ideas and literary works.

I have played guitar for the last few years of my life. I have been in a million and one bands, only few of them ever really did much, so im definitely no rock star if thats what your wondering. I play just about anything honestly, but my greatest love in music is 80's heavy metal/rock/hair metal and newer rock n' roll as well of course. But really anything with a cool groove and melody im totally down with. I love music with meaning and seasoned talent behind it, meaning well put together and almost poetic if that makes sense. But sll rockers must have a soft side, so i also love rockin the acoustics and ballads. To be honest I love all styles of music for the most part.

I have played a few shows over the last few years i guess you could say, nothing to immaculate, but hell its been a lot of fun and i think thats where the real feeling of rock n' roll is, whether it be sitting in your room jammin to your favorite tunes or up on stage jammin em to a crowd, its all about enjoying and celebrating the feeling of rock n' roll, its not the money or any of that shit, its the haze and excitement you get from it all. But right now for the moment im kind of flying it solo, writing tunes, learning how to be a guitar player ;p jammin with whoever has the desire to and just picking up shit along the way. Lifes a learning experiance and so is bein a musician. Every musician, whether seasoned or fresh out of their first music shop has something to offer. No matter how good you are, there always seems to be a new trick to learn, which i love about music. Its the same as life, theres always something more to learn and understand.

See the thing about me is im a philosopher in a warriors world. Darwinism to be the basic principle of existence. "Survival of the fittest" hell you could argue it to the end, but in society, we all know it to be the way of all living things. The strongest always prevail. But for me im a man of words and thoughts, someone who ponders every aspect of existence, historically, theologically, philosophically, futuristically, Phychologically, it all. Enough lly's to make your fuckin head spin ;P But if i have discovered anything about my quest for understanding and wisdom, its the fact that we spend to much time thinking and speaking, when we should be doing, experiancing and putting our ideas and words into action, because in the end, words are only words, thoughts are only thought, action is the product of the base we set up with such things, but constantly we say "oh i wish i had this," "oh i wish i had that," "I want to do this," etc. But we never take those thoughts and put them into life as action. Action is the only way to accomplish anything. If i turn on a focet and walk away and tell you "oh my god someone should really turn that water off... oh wow look how much water they are wasting" but never myself take the action of turning the water off, it will stay on and i will keep wasting the water. Now apply this to time. I keep saying i want to do all of these things, but never do i take the actions needed to get there, and time just keeps passing on by, wasted by my inaction. A rude awakening to us all, is the fact that time is not endless. It ticks away and we get caught up in the stupid petty things of life, wasting precious time we should have been spending on enjoying life and accomplishing our desires and dreams. What im saying is stop thinking so much and start living. Im not saying throw out questioning, or common sense, im just saying dont get to caught up in thinking and miss the opprotunity to live.

Another huge fact of my life is that im a huge history buff, i love ancient history, ancient battle strategy/technique, ancient architecture, ancient literature, art, philosophy just everything about ancient history fascinates me. I also love learning about and studying theology, im actually writing a book about my philosophies of life, theological understandings and many of life's questions that i wish to answer through my own personal experiance and study, im not sure how long it will take to write, but i have a lot to experience and to learn before i can ever come close to finishing it, and of course i also have a lot of wisdom to gain, I may be "wise" to some, but im no Ghandi, or Buddha, or Jesus, or Muhamad, etc. so this book may be finished on my death bed, who knows.

One of my biggest loves is music as you may already know. I gave up everything for it, only to gain back that and so much more in return. Trust me it is worth every moment you put into it, its a lot of work, but anything you have a hell of a lot fun with is. Really the hardest part is getting past the first big bump, which is starting, getting down the basics and just getting comfortable. Every musician had to start somewhere and let me tell you, none of them were pretty in the very beginning and i speak from experiance, i cant tell you how many fuckin times i played Smoke on the Water or Iron Man, let me just tell you that it was enough that if you were around me in those days you forever will hate those songs ;P But ultimately those were thing types of things that started me out. Even then my biggest regret is thinking "hey i want to be a rock star, fuck the fundementals!" hell now i kick myself in the ass as i go back and learn all of that shit. Really all you need to do is just learn the chords and scales, get comfortable with timing and rhythem, goof around and make stuff up, learn about keeping things in key, etc. LEARN THE FUNDEMENTALS AND BASICS so that you can be a guitar player and not a fuck head like me. Dont get frusterated when things dont work out, just keep trying and practice. No matter how great of a player you end up being, you will always have to practice. Stevie Ray Vaugn practices 8 hours a day and as a result he is one of the greatest players in the world and gets to play guitar as a living! how fuckin cool would that be? and the only reason i know this and say it now, is not because im a seasoned player, its because these are the things i struggled with and had to learn to move to the next point. I learned these ethics from the multitude of players i have had the blessing of coming across. If you dont like me, listen to them.

But basically what i would like to say to everyone is just hey have fun with life, enjoy every minute of it, just be yourself and fuck everyone else, don't feel the need to be what people and the world thinks you need to be, be who YOU want you to be and don't give me any of that crap, that you have to be this way, you don't have to do anything, we have one gift as humans, the power of choice, you can use it or you can disregard it, thats up to you. You can be something you don't want to be and do something you absolutely hate because you were told to or do something you love and live happy. No im not saying don't listen to your parents and friends, etc. You should always take advice and learn from everyone, they all have something to offer as individuals. Just dont be a pawn of the whole of society. Be the king of your own destiny. Take what you need from peoples experiance/guidence and maybe use it to help influence your decisions, but ultimately, its your choice. Your true friends and loved ones stick by you through it all, none of that floaty fake school bull shit. Life's to short, theres no need for senseless fighting and bickering, just move on and have fun, enjoy yourself once in awhile. One thing i would like to add, is just respect people, respect what they have done for others and for you. Don't be selfish, enjoy what you have and give everything you can, our society is fucked up enough, we don't need to be adding to it. Well hey just enjoy it all while you can. Thanks for reading my rant and pointless commemoration to my life im done now. ;P

If your wondering what i do musically and what my gear is, i play lead/rhythm guitar as well as slightly sing. I have a Peavy Triple X half stack(oh my fucking god is it awesome), a 1991 GSP 21 Digitech effects processor, a Crybaby Wah, a 1987 Gibson SG Elite and a Ibanez RG350DX and an Ibanez RGT6EXFX with EMG's and if you really are interested, i use Standard E flat or standard typically(my favorite tunings), but i pretty much use everything from standard E-standard-standard/drop B when it comes to covers, but mostly E flat or standard for originals, but at times i mix it up a bit. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this, talk to you guys later, have a good one.

Its not my place, nor right to judge.

Guitar, Philosophy, Discovering different aspects of the mind and life. Drawing, History, Headbanging and Rocking out, the typical metal head activities i suppose.
