Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
As my profile picture shows -- I'm an avid guitar shredder. Music is what my lifestyle is about and for almost 21 years now I've been into Neo-Classical and Power Metal. Not only was I determined in practicing long hours but becoming part of the music industry by being an audio/light technician for 13 years for pro bands. I've been there, done that, and now reminense about it. Some of the bands that I have been involved in were Iced Earth, Savatage, Megadeth, Overkill, Cannibal Corpse, Death, George Lynch, Fates Warning, Testament, Dio, Warlock, to name just a few.
I was born and raised the majority of my life in Orlando, Fl. where I first got my start in the metal scene being so close to Tampa (the Home of Metal). From there I got my start working at the Orlando Arena setting up events for the Orlando Magic, Solar Bears, Predators, and musical events that came my way. After four years of doing this I moved to south Florida where I became more involved with just the musical side of the entertainment business. Down there alot of R&B and Classic Rock was played, as well as Mo-Town.
After 8 years in south Florida I moved to Washington D.C. and hooked up in the metal scene that was being played there for little more than a year.
I tell you what, I've been in several bands and there is nothing like working up to 18-20 hours a day setting up these shows. It's alot of work to put these acts together and the general public just doesn't know what is involved. The first to show up and the last to leave. So be kind if the show doesn't exactly start on time for within drinking your beer or 420 it will be KICK ASS.
For almost 2 years now I have been working on a guitar instructional website
ShredDead-Metal
that will teach Music Theory, Basic & Advanced Chords, Scales & Modes, and Deadly Techniques. Lessons are in both musical score and tablature which will be audio accompanied. Also included will be copyright laws, registration forms, contracts, memberships with AFTRA, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SGA, as well as sample agreements from "Artists Inducement Letter" to "Tour Agreements." I'll keep you posted when this will arrive, for it won't be too long now.
Close to 8 years ago I met my beautiful Soul-Mate through the internet and moved to Tennessee. As of March 2005, Kerri and I now have a wonderful son named Zaine.

Hi there Chad, now I have a little sparetime to say hello after a longer time! Oh, my little daughter is now nearly 14 months exploring our world and she now walks alone. You can imagine that this keeps me really busy! I have a wonderful healthy and lively girl who has got a strong will. And she already loves... shoes ! Gee, I do not want to think about when she is around 13 - 14 years old... Women... ;-) Yes, there have been many people missing me on the last album of MP, but decisions are decisions. I enjoyed my time out so far but I guess the time has come to try out something new. I will fly for a studio date next Saturday and meet my new bandmates the first time. If it will work or not comes out then. It will be a band in the Eighties style with an awsome female singer who has a range of 4 (!) octaves in her voice. I will let you know about the results, bro ! What about you, let me know what's going on !!! Have a great sunday, Martin
I wanted to let you know that I had a really great weekend with you and the kids. I love all the pictures we took at the park. I love all of our adventures. Next time we will have to go alone!
Hi Chad, just want to say hello after a really long time !!! There has happened a lot and I will write you pretty soon. At the moment I enjoy every second with my little daughter. Gee, time is going by, she is already 7 1/2 months exploring our world with her curious blue eyes... Say hello to everyone & have a great day ! Martin
I just got your comment and saw your status message. I hope that all goes well with your recovery and that you feel better real soon. I am glad that everything went well.
