Influences
Van Halen/DLR era Kiss/with make-up Motley Crue/the drug years Accept/the most under-rated metal band! AC/DC Bon Scott era The King! no not Jesus silly, Elvis/late 60's early 70's Judas Priest Def Leppard/before Pyromania Scorpions/another under-rated band! Steve Vai/greatest guitar player! Ever! Saxon U.F.O Prince The Commodores Johnny Cash Hank Williams Sr Michael Anthony Gene Simmons Nikki Sixx (don't laugh!) Did I forget the Beatles and The Rolling Stones? Hell no! In my opinion, they are the most over-rated bands of all time! Now I can't mention all these bands without mentioning the person who started all this commotion we call rock/blues music, Robert Johnson! I'm a die hard Spurs and Cowboys fan. But my biggest, biggest influences are... our Country that gives us rights to agree or disagree, my Family and.....................GOD!
I looove comedy movies!
Malibu's Most Wanted Don't Be a Menace to South Central (While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood) I'm Gonna Git You Sucka Friday Next Friday Friday After Next Dumb and Dumber The Jerk Up In Smoke and most Cheech and Chong movies.
When I find time to watch TV Scare Tactics Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern America's Funniest Home Videos The Creation Network Sport's Center MTV's Boiling Points (that's the ONLY thing I'll watch on that crappy station) How it's Made The Food Network is the best!
Movies that have shaped my faith in God. These Videos will make an unbeliever a skeptic, a skeptic into a believer and it will turn a believer into a person that will NEVER doubt Gods existence again.

Lolita........let's do it again!!!
Slimy blues rock. A real slinky kind of sexy feel to this piece. Really fluid guitar work. I like the vocals, remind me of Clapton or Winwood a bit. The whole piece is really tight. Lolita..........sounds like a hot dish. The bass is right on, and the guitar player really has his shit together. I nearly thought it was a drum machine in the early going. The drummer is on it. A smooth rock jam.

Rock it 'till you drop it!
Sweet! I'm loving the old-school groove. The guitar tone is absolutely righteous! Just the right amount of twang. The vocals are very nice, they suit the groove. The bass compliments everything, keeping it all together. The drums are just the right amount in your face. They're powerful, but not excessively so. All in all, a very well crafted tune. I'm sure you guys would be amazing live, and I'm sure you get the ladies dancin'! Good luck to you, and keep up the good work! Long live Rock and Roll!

Wanna meet Studio Musicians !!
Right from the beginning of the song you notice that the bass player and his intro are real studio musicians.The lead guitar is Bluesy and brilliant.The drums are perfect in timing and sound great,too.The song as a whole reminds me a bit of the older Dire Straits.....Mark Knopfler at his Best!

I finally found it! I have had a lot of people ask me to put up a video of our song Games. On our myspace music player I had put us performing the song at Rock City Bar, we played there three times and I looked thru all three videos and I couldn’t find that particular version. Then yesterday I was trying to kill some time until the Cowboys vs. Redskins game came on and I decided to go thru videos to see if I could find more songs to put up, and when I came to our Sam’s Burger Joint show I found it. That night we were a replacement band because a band decided to cancel because a huge cold front moved in San Antonio and the temperature dropped to a bone chilling 35 degrees, yes that’s right “35” degrees. So our friends “The Killing Floor” asked us to fill in and we did. Not only did a band not show up, nobody showed up, including the light show guy. I guess they all stayed home during the blizzard and roasted marshmallows by the fire place. So this was just a practice.

Obama lies MORE than his cousin, George W! It's time to kick all these clowns to the curb and elect someone who's more concerned about you and I, and not about the Rothchild and the Rockefeller families. Thanks to this president, The elitists are getting richer and richer. So much for "Hope & Change" :-(
As you know Warren, I find BOTH parties absolutely pathetic! If people who voted for Obama still think he's still this "Hope and Change" guy, then there's no Hope that this country will ever Change. He has been given a major pass for all his lies and empty promises, so it's refreshing to see SOMEBODY calling him out on this. I didn't think it would be SNL, though.. NBC, Lorne "Michaels" Lipowitz and most of the cast of SNL lean towards the left. I hope people are starting to wake up from their love affair with this fraud. My God, the man can't even stay on topic or make sense without a teleprompter. I've been called an "Uncle Tom" because I'm black and I'm not an Obama supporter. Oh well....
