The list is endless.

Television
Mainly the speed channel. Gotta watch the car shows. Other than that I never really watch tv except for the news. I generally hate TV.
Heroes

Our debut release on our own label, DZ/Records, in conjuntion with Into the Whip Records, called VOL.1 is out and available now either by CD or downloads on many of the usual sites such as iTunes, Amazon, Emusic etc... We'd love to talk to any major label.
I, sometimes appear with singer/songwriter Walker Hornung in his live band Walker and the Brotherhood of the Grape. Different vibe. Cool laid back tunes with plenty of rich sounding vocals. Probably the best singer I have ever worked with out in NYC.
I like any and all music, for the most part, and though I play hard rock/metal, I don't really listen to it or music in gerneral, for that matter, on my spare time. I am usually practicing or out on my bike or driving my '69 Camaro or getting yelled at by my wife :)
I am always looking for any other projects or bands in need of a guitar player. If you need any guitar stuff done, I would love to be a part of it.
For my other interests:
My big thing is the first gen Camaros. I own a real, numbers matching, low milage 1969 Z/28 RS. It's painfully original and still retains the original 302 engine, which is the 1st gen Z/28's deal as well as all "born with" drivetrain schtuff. If a previous owner didn't put a crappy paint job on it, it would be in the "Survivor" class. Shame on the idiot that put that paint job on!
If you are familiar with the Chevy 302's at all (no... not Ford 302...), you'll know it's a friggin' monster at 6500 and above RPM. Nothing like a high winding small block! My wife somewhat hates it though and usually refuses to be in it... No A/C :) I am very cautious with it; depending on my mood though, if any obnoxious, asshole kid in a rice burner car with an exhaust that sounds like a little swarm of angry bees comes up to me at a light and gives the look, I notice how cute the little car is and then... well... it's a go... I haven't lost a race yet.
I like the Harleys too. I have an '07 Softail Custom and I go out riding any chance that I get, no matter what season it is. I am usually out on the bike more than in the Camaro because it's getting harder and harder to take the Camaro out. Ever see the Barrett Jackson Auctions?
I would really like to find a nice bobbed Knucklehead EL as a second bike or maybe a nice panhead. Or build one, whenever I have some time. Ahhh... someday!

Me at Berklee 1992 doing a Randy Rhoads Tribute Show. This was one of my faves that I did at Berklee because I think we all played well and had a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Cool show for sure. I'll post more. There were several guests as well. Main players from that show were:
Me on guitar
Ken Tondre - Drums
Gremlin - Bass
Eric Welsh - Keys
Lance Dumas - Vocals
Jesse Lewis - Vocals
Guests:
Tony Savarino - Guitar (on Flying High Again)
Tommy Strazza - Guitar (on No Bone Movies)
Mike Chlasciak (Before he was Metal) - as the Nun (on Over The Mountain)
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone that is not a pain in the ass.
I think I've met all the "famous" folks I'd like to meet. I usually don't like to meet too many so called "famous" people because you generally get let down. There are a certain few that were cool, though.
Anyone who I would have really liked to have met are all dead so I guess that throws that out the window.
