Looking to play thrashy, trashy, sleazy, dirty, heavy, grindy rock/metal - influences are huge - plays lead/rhythm, 6 and 12 string, clean and dirty - hell - whatever the song requires!
First picked up a guitar in 1986-87 - Van Halen and Randy Rhoads made me wanna be a rock star! Earliest influences as well as these being George Lynch, Dave Meniketti and Alex Lifeson.
Played with no name bands in the 90's, till joining 9xDead precursors Distorshaus - withdrew from live playing to pursue other interests in 1999 till 2003, and then has spent time playing with hardcore punksters This System Kills (http://www.geocities.com/thissystemkills/ ), 9xDead (August of 2005 to early 2007) and lately a short stint in First of the Stygian (myspace ID: ukpowerthrash - check em out, very good guys!).
These songs are rough demo's of stuff, some may end up as song idea's and some may never again see the light of day. Very rough demo's - may contain nuts - contents will settle during transport.
