After seven years of the same shitty bio I decided
to break down and update this thing. The last time I did this my son
was only three and tugging at me because he had to go to the
bathroom. Well guess what? He is ten now and doesn’t need help
anymore. I am not quite sure what to write but I will do my best and
without a doubt bore many. I am not very surprised that we have been
together now for 10 years. We have managed to separate our
relationship as band mates from our friendship. Many times what
kills a lot of bands is the fact that they become too personal and
therefore take offense on a personal level rather than what it is. A
band. We go out, play loud, and have a lot of fun. We have been
lucky to attract interest from many age groups and that is why we
have the turnouts that we do. I have been playing since I was 8 or
so but didn’t get completely into it until I saw a Judas Priest
concert on MTV at 15 and was so inspired that I went out the next
week and bought a new guitar and started playing it constantly. I
went from listening to my father say “ You better keep practicing”,
to him telling me that I better do something besides playing or I
will find myself out of the house. But I have always credited my
father for the reason why I am still playing today. Shit, who wants
to be practicing “Camp Town Races” at the age of 9 when you could be
out playing baseball or football in the street? I would have quite
after 2 maybe 3 years tops if it weren’t for my dad. So I went
through the usual routine that many musicians in this city go
through; starting a band, someone quits, getting into another band,
someone quits, this person doesn’t like what we are doing, someone
quits. Always the same shit. I always wrote original music though.
Ever since I was 16 or 17 and I think that is why I am so obsessed
with great songwriters. I love to listen to all styles of music and
listen to song composition. I think that is why I have such high
regards to Cornell and Grohl. They not only are great musicians, but
they also have a ridiculous talent for writing great songs. I am
very happy that we had the opportunity to write and record our cd.
It was a cool path and hopefully we can do it again. I won’t bore
you with the technical stuff like what amp or guitars I use. If you
actually care, you are a musician and probably think I suck anyway.
But I will say that I LOVE my Mesa Boogie amps………and Strats……..and
Les Pauls……..and Ibanez. I am in my fourth year back at school.
Majoring in Mechanical Engineering and would love to chug a bottle
of Drano because of it. I am the guitarist for my nephews band Gauge
and love everything about it. We were fortunate to play the Whisky a
Go Go this summer and plan to return to LA in the near future. WE
NEED MONEY! Hint Hint. So after all this, go ahead and wipe the spot
of boredom drool that has accumulated at the corner of your mouth,
scratch your crotch and remember……..Daves Planet is like a sore
penis……..you just can’t beat it!
