About me:

Well a lil about myself , I started playing guitar when I was 12 years old . Put my first band together when I was 15 called High Voltage . We were together along time , then that ended and I got the gig with Zakk Wylde in 1996 . We toured 96 , 97 on the Book Of Shadows tour . Then in 1998 , Black Label Society was formed . Through the years the lineup in the rhythm section has changed . We have had many kick ass bass players come through , heres the lineup , started with John Deservio ( JD ) , then Steve Gibb ( SOB ) , then came Mike Inez ( Alice in Chains / Ozzy ) , Robert Trujillo ( Suicidal Tendencies / Ozzy ) , THEN came James Lomenzo ( White Lion / Pride and Glory / David Lee Roth ) , and FINALLY back to John Deservio AGAIN !! It came full circle . And we only had one drummer change , BLS started with Phil Ondich on drums and he was replaced by Craig ( Louisiana Lightning ) Nunenmacher . And Craig has been the rock for many many years . I have been beside Zakk for 12 years , and many many great things have happened through my career with Black Label .... I have my very own signature Washburn Nick Catanese guitar , I have a siganture string deal , the Dean Markley Shotgun Set . And all of the other great endorsers i have ... EMG pickups , Fuchs Amps , Electro Voice ( EV ) speakers and Cabinets , Zoom , Samson , Affliction Clothing , Monster Energy Drinks , and now i am proud to say I have signed with Paul Reed Smith guitars and will be out with a new Evil Twin Paul Reed Smith . Then in 2007 , after meeting Mike Stone , we started Speed X , and Speed X is myself , Mike Stone , Mike Froedge ( doubleDrive ) , and Josh Sattler ( doubleDrive ) . Our debut CD is almost complete and ready for all the ears of the world to be pummeled . I am very proud of the place I am in the world , I have fantastic parents ( supportive as all hell ) , and my father who has bent over backwards to be my manager , BIG NICK ( clc1645@aol.com ) if anyone needs to email him , my mother who is my backbone , and my beautiful beautiful fiance Tiffany , who is my world , and I wouldnt be the man I am if it wasnt for you and your understanding . Outside of music , I love Racing , Nascar , NHRA . I have experienced driving Nascar at the Richard Petty driving school and the Jeff Gordon driving schools . KICK ASS fun !! Also I just started playing Inline Hockey , which kicks my ass everytime , I really give hockey players all the respect in the world . As you can see I am a very happy and content man on this planet , and my last words .... BE THANKFUL AND NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED !! It can be gone as fast as you got it . Much Love Nick Sept 4th 2008
