I first heard rock music when I was young. My mom would play Zepplin, Melloncamp, and Journey around the house and I never really liked it at that time. I first got into Rock / Metal when I was 12 or so when I recieved my first Guns~N~Roses album. From then on it was straight to Metallica, then White Zombie and shortly after Pantera. I first picked a guitar up when I was 20. I borrowed from a guy in the army for a week or two. I liked it so much I decided to get my own. A bought a B.C. Rich Warlock with the widow head stock ( wow what was I thinking ? ). After that I kept practicing and learning my favorite guitar riffs learning Slayer stuff and so on. Since 2004 I've been a member of Lamera Spending alot of time writing new Ideas with my partner in crime Max. Just recently tried the singing thing in 2005/06 ???? and that seems to work pretty well too.....
