Music is my favorite thing in life. I like lots of different types and styles as well as lots of different instruments. I've got a metal band, which you can find links to here on my page as well.
I also like lots of other sorts of entertainment such as movies/t.v., books, and video games. I just got an Xbox 360 (Gamertag: JMCatrow). I'm definitely an animal lover, but not a PETA-freak. I'm also interested in nature, science, history, space, and mysteries and/or the unexplained.

My favorite books as a kid were 'The Prydain Chronicles' by Lloyd Alexander.
I like books about science, nature, space, mysteries and the unexplained, true crime, biographies and autobiographies of musicians or celebrities.
My Uncle Mike just loaned me some AMAZING books on the Civil War, World War II, and sky-watching... can't wait to get into those!
My Father. He's truly a great man and I owe him more than I could repay in two lifetimes.
The rest of my family as well... my Mother, my Sister, Uncle Mike & Aunt Liz, Gramma & Pap, Nana & Henry, all my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins on both sides of the family, and anyone that I've been fortunate enough to call my friend... past or present.
Anyone foreign or domestic, military or civilian, past or present, that has given their life taking a stand, fighting against impossible odds, fighting for freedom, or fighting for something they truly believe in.

About me: My name is Justin Catrow. I'm 30 years old and live in West Virginia. I grew up in the Martinsburg,WV area and went to Musselman High School.
I love music and I'm a guitar player. Not really sure when I started playing... 14 or 15, I think. I took lessons briefly but am self-taught for the most part. In the summer of 2006 I founded a metal band called 'BY DEMONS BE DRIVEN'. So far we've recorded one album and are getting ready to start work on our second. We've also played a ton of shows in the area. Be sure to check out our/my music in the mp3 player below!
'BDBD' is my main endeavour, but I'm also interested and available for other musical projects such as soundtracks, session work, show/tour fill-in, side projects, etc. Metal is my favorite music of course, but I enjoy playing, writing, and listening to many other types as well. I've played in rock bands and even written guitar parts for hip-hop songs. I'm also a pretty good lyricist too. So, if you've got a business proposition for me... let's hear it. You can reach me via Myspace or by Email at Stronger_Than_All_54@Yahoo.com. You can also use that contact info. to purchase a copy of our "Through Dying Eyes" EP.
I like pretty much all forms of entertainment... be it music, movies/TV/plays, stand-up comedy, video games, etc. Some of my other interests include science, history, space, mysteries, nature, and animals. I like to read books and watch shows about all of those subjects. I'm also a big football and hockey fan. My favorite NFL team is the Chicago Bears and has been since I was a wee-one. My favorite college football team is the West Virginia Mountaineers. The last few years my favorite sport has been NHL hockey and my favorite NHL team is the Washington Capitals! I also enjoy shooting pool and I like to watch boxing & MMA too. I can tolerate a lil' bit of basketball and Nascar, but I can't get into baseball at all.
Some things I DON'T like are people that don't say what they mean, don't speak their minds, don't think for themselves and/or lack their own identity, preach, are two-faced, are dishonest, disloyal, judgemental, or hypocrites, lack a sense of humor, or are overly "politically correct". I could also do without organized religion.
One last thing... I got an Xbox 360 this past Xmas and joined Xbox Live. My GamerTag is 'JMCatrow' and you can find my profile by clicking HERE or on my likeness below.
Who I'd like to meet: Shit, lots of people. I'd like to meet or have met...
Any of my favorite musicians like Slash, Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P.), Johnny Cash (R.I.P.), or any of the musicians listed to the left in the "Music" section... both lists could go on forever. Maybe a few scientific-types like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Albert Einstein (R.I.P.), J.Allen Hynek (R.I.P.), Carl Sagan (R.I.P.), Stanton Friedman, Galileo Galilei (R.I.P.), Stephen Hawking, or Edgar Cayce so I could pick their brains about physics, astronomy, and unexplained phenomena. I don't buy into them all but I'd also like to talk to William Cooper (R.I.P.), Peter Joseph, Alex Jones, or Jessie Ventura about conspiracy theory type stuff cause I find it interesting. Some other people I'd like to meet/met would be my Grandfather, Henry Pugh (R.I.P.), who died before I was born. Or writer Hunter S. Thompson (R.I.P.), radio personalities Elliot Segal and The Greaseman, or some of my favorite stand-up comedians such as Bill Hicks (R.I.P.), George Carlin (R.I.P.), or Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P.). I'd also like to meet/met some of my favorite athletes like Walter Payton (R.I.P.), Brett Favre, Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, or the most beautiful athlete ever, Gina Carano!
Below you can hear/buy some of my music! Check out our bands entire debut album, the "Through Dying Eyes" EP (pictured below), other original songs, demos, cover songs, jam sessions, a demo of the 'Star Spangled Banner' that I did for a movie soundtrack (it didn't get chosen), and even a few hip-hop tracks by some friends of mine that I wrote the guitar parts for.

hey bro, let's let go of our vices and become the band we should've became a long time ago. It's never too late though. Let;s be that great band we were always meant to be. We still have time to leave our mark in the music world. and I'm so hungry. I want it more than anything. And I've always wanted to do it along side my best friend. That has never changed. Let's get our heads in the gane and make our dreams come true. Let's be one of the biggest metal bands there is. I want it so, so bad and and I want to accomplish it with my best friend since I was young with this dream. Please do this with me man. Your friend forever, Matt
So what's the deal with the band right now? I guess what I'm asking are you ready to get it going once again for one more serious run with no bs and no looking back. I'm doing nothing but getting older and I want to give it one more shot before it'sall said and done. I'd like to do it with my best friend if possible but only if you have your problems left behind too. I'm tired of watching my life go wasting me by and am ready to do something while I'm still young enough to do it. We can still rock the shit and form a serious metal band. I want to give it one more go. What do you say? We were meant to do this together, you know that. Let's get to it. If I've gotten crazy let me know but if you still have it in you let me know and let's do it.
That's actually Tommy's. He got it for Christmas so I'm not sure how much it was. I'd like one too though, I wish they made better girls jerseys in hockey, they should learn from the NFL.
Hey stranger! How ya been? Where have you been hiding at? I haven't seen you for the longest time. I hope all is well. I don't think i ever thanked you for the ticket to the LOG show so thank you...I had a blast! Keep in touch.
I need everyone's help this Saturday night. This the first ever metal show at Longshot's and depending on how many people comes out will determine if they have another metal night. I hope to see you all there..
Hey Justin!! Your right long time no see huh! Hope your doing good, I like all your band stuff, the way it looks you ROCK!! anyways I miss all those crazy times we had back in the day!! Tell Sarah I said hi too!
Well, 2 games apiece now. Home ice is making the difference this series although I hope that gets reversed for one game or the Caps will take it. I wish we could tix to the game in Washington on Sunday. That would be awesome but I bet they are a good penny. You ready for Monday? I sure am. I'm going to head on up your way tomorrow sometime so I'll catch up with you when I get in. Later broham.
Man, I can't wait to see some Lamb of God Monday. Same goes for Unearth and Testament on the 28th. You already know how awesome Testament is and I've only seen Unearth live twice but definitely can't wait to see them again. The Oncoming Storm is one bad ass album as is their new one. Some great shows this month.
What up man? I love some hockey even though my teams losing but man these announcers are some Ovechkin nutswingers. I'm surprised he just doesn't walk around with his wang out so everyone in DC can take a suck. It's too much. 2 hat tricks in one game though. That was pretty sweet.
GDit! 3-2 in favor of the wrong team. Oh well, it was a good game. Hopefully they'll all be good and it'll be one of those awesome 7 game series. Whomever wins though looks like they're gonna get Boston and they're looking beast.
Wishful thinking man. Actually I'm a little conflicted as I do like both teams but I like the Pens better. Should be a good series though. Hopefully it'll still be going on when I come up weekend after next.
Hey thanks Justin for the addy!!!! Myspace is a pain in the ASS it will not let add photos for my album profile I sent you an e-mail couple of days ago my pc is back up for how long who the fuck knows!!!
you're welcome it was one of my favorite songs of yours and i have to hear you guys somehow since you haven't been playing anywhere. when you guys gonna do some shows? I want to go on the 11th but i haven't got a ticket yet... i'm planning on it tho.
