It's great for small time artists to get their name out, and be heard.

Probably if the timing was right.

First band (Magnum 470) I was in, I played bass guitar. It was a short lived experience, only 3 months and one show. My second band (Three Small d**k aka T.S.D.)I also played bass guitar. We stuck together about 8 months did 3 or 4 shows. Following that I began my solo artistry and haven't had a band since.

My musical interests are very broad. I enjoy Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Doug Aldrich, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Rusty Cooley/out world.
