I like many types of music
My favourite rock bands change but at the time I wrote this they were; Dream Theater, Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Iron Maiden,

Other favourites inlude; In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Iron Maiden, Yes, Rush, Queensrÿche, Iced Earth, Dio, Seventh Wonder.

I have also recently gained an interest in Folk Metal. Bands I like in this category include, Korpiklaani, Elvenking, Eluveitie. Turisas also have a folk side to their music and I like them.

Favourite guitarists include; Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Mike Stern. One of my main ambitions in life is to become a virtuoso guitar player.

Favourite composers include; J.S Bach, Handel, Mozart, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius

I also listen to and try to play Jazz, both on guitar and piano.
My favourite fusion players include; Mike Sterm, Chick Corea, Frank Gambale, Al Dimeola and Allan Holdsworth.

I like quite a variety of music but usually not what is played on mainstream radio. This does not make me any less open minded but is evidence that I have a genuine music taste rather than listening to the small range of music which is played on mainstream TV and raido.

You can check out my page on Last fm (formerly Audio Scrobbler) to see what I have been listening to recently. (i posted this ages a go and no longer use it)

Can't be bothered writing any more ..

I do like some strange comedy such as the leauge of gentlemen and monkey dust.

I also am a science fiction fan. I particularly like Star Trek and Dr Who.

I am also a bit fan of Neighbours, despite it being a cheesey Australian soap. ..
