   50/50: General Info
Member Since2/2/2006
Band Websitehttp://www.5050band.com/
Band Members Myspace Backgrounds Myspace Backgrounds Brian Copeland: Brian has been fronting a number of local bands around Rochester since the late 80s. These bands include No Parole, Highwire, Captured, and Catch 22. He has a wide range of influences including Journey, Aerosmith, GnR, Van Halen, STP, Ozzy, Soundgarden, and many more............................ Nick Iovine (pronounced I-veen): Guitar First guitar riff wasn't 'Smoke on The Water' or 'Stairway to Heaven'. It was 'She' by Kiss. Although First solo learned was Freebird. Climbed out of the basement with a southern rock band at age 15 and gigged around town. That quickly evolved (as my hair grew) to more heavy 80's guitar stuff like Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Dio, early Y&T, Riot...etc. Main influences besides the Skynyrd trio were Paul Gilbert (Mr.Big) Steve Via, all of Ozzy's guitarists and of course, Eddie VanHalen. Played locally in bands such as Pantara, Highwire, Moriah, Catch-22 among others. Thanks to all that have been supportive and to you for reading this. (and I did cut my hair)............................. A.D. Zimmer: Age: Older than I look Instrument: Bass Years Experience: 24 Influences: Gene Simmons (Kiss), Billy Sheehan (DLR, Talas), Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), Geezer Butler (Sabbath), Geddy Lee (Rush), Les Claypool (Primus) and others in the 80's big hair bands. Gear: A.D. uses ESP Custom basses & Ampeg amps because he wants the best! Hobbies: This is my hobby... Love to surf the net too. First Album: (Vinyl) Kiss Alive. Saw the pictures of Gene Simmons and the rest is History or Kisstory so to speak. Thanks to all for the support and coming to dance with us. See Ya soon!................................ Rob Mount: What Rob brings to 50/50 is raw solid power! He is a very knowledgeable, technically oriented player of 35 years (twelve of those classically trained). Rob has a great "rock feel" not unlike the players he admires, citing such influences as Tommy Aldridge, Scott Travis and Deen Castronovo. While his drumming has been internationally acclaimed in Europe and Japan with Metal Blade artist "Liegelord", Bareknuckle recording artists "Thick As Thieves" and "Ramrod" (featuring members of Overkill), Rob's style culminates these influences and brings his own touch to the band. He has also completed numerous recording sessions with various bands and has been performing extensively throughout the US, Canada and in Germany at the largest Heavy Metal festival in existence - the Wacken Open Air Fest. Rob's intuitive energy drives 50/50 from start to finish....................... Dave Belec: Dave plays keyboards, rhythm guitar and backing vocals...basically whatever it takes to fill out the sound and make the rest of the band shine. A true utility guy. He's classically trained on French horn, toured Europe and most of the US as a brass man in a former life. He's a self-admitted hack at keys, but enjoys it too much to stop. He's played with many different musicians in the local scene, and for a while he just played with himself. Dave's damn glad to be here. His primary board is a Yamaha Motif, his ratty secondary is an old Korg X3. His guitar is a Yamaha Pacifica through some cheap pedals into a Marshall. For Pete's sake, don't tell Marshall. Dave also enjoys Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. As for musical influences, he's been known to drink Bud faster with .38 Special on the jukebox, preferably something from the "Wild eyed southern boys" era...............

One night, as a couple lays down for bed, the husband starts rubbing his wife's arm.
The wife turns over and says 'I'm sorry honey, I've got a gynecologist appointment tomorrow and I want to stay fresh.'
The husband, rejected, turns over.
A few minutes later, he rolls back over and taps his wife again.
'Do you have a dentist appointment tomorrow too?
