I played live with a few bands, but nothing that really got off the ground. Playing live though is easily one of the best feelings ever. Having the crowd feed off you and in turn you feeding off the crowd is just mindblowing.
Your musical influences
My main influences over the years have been Matt Heafy from Trivium, not in a technical playing aspect, but in a more songwriting aspect. I love the way he writes songs and have taken so much from him. I also love Jeff Loomis, due to the fact that he and many other people show rhythm guitar isn't 'easy'.
What equipment do you use?
Just a laptop with pro tools LE and a few peices of gear, nothing major.
