Too many to list not enough time. I'll have to get back to this.
My name is Nathan Smith. I am 19 years old. Don't be fooled by my super-awesome 80's rocker style, I don't smoke, drink or do any drugs, and I am also a Christian. I play guitar...wait...I live and breathe guitar. I have been playing for about four and a half years and my influences come from all kinds of guitarists ranging from old blues players to new generation shredders. I like all kinds of GOOD MUSIC, including: Jazz, Blues, Classical, Rock and Roll, and my favorite, Heavy Metal. Not just any metal though, it has to be good classic metal with a good vocalist. I'm not big into screaming or anything of that matter. I love me some old school Death/Thrash Metal though, like Death, Obituary, Atheist, Morbid Angel, Exodus, Testament, etc. Music is my life. I spend as much time as I possibly can playing guitar. I just finished my first, and hopefully last, year at KSU. My plan, for now, is to save up enough money to build/open up a studio and become an audio engineer. Eventually, my band will get signed and go on tour, so I can make lots of money! I am sooo ready to do something with this boring as hell life of mine..... That would freaking ROCK!!!!!
