Because everyfukingthing else was taken. There's no way they all exist, they gotta be account corpses! Just think -[Strict]-

Playing live could be possible once they make a time machine. Then I can be in multiple places at once and play backup for myself.

I hope it stabs it right in the arse. The media industry really only hates the fact that they can't sink tons of money into marketing and advertising to compel people to buy something they wont like. The internet give you the 'try before you buy' way of the future. they need to just suck it up and deal with the times. I mean, small companies can get forced aside because of things like this all the time, but when a corporation large enough starts to feel like they arnt getting as much money to continue the perpetual growing nature of large corporations they feel that they can whine and cry and make people legislate the problem away instead of adapting with the changing market. Bah, I should shut up now.

No. What would I need them for? I can distribute my stuff here for free. I dont want fat-cats making even more money off of me.

Locally born and raised, yet I've seen the greater part of the continental united states and parts of Canada. As a kid I had a quick foray with guitar lessons but was too lazy to actually put forth effort to learn things that didn't instantly gratify me. So i quit and just kinda taught myself from there. I am left handed but learned to play right-handed style. I got somewhat good at figuring out riffs by ear when tab wasn't available, and could play quite a few songs, but I dont remember much from my lessons so I hardly even know what string is what note. I would just shred what comes naturally. Later I came across a bass guitar and just applied what I knew. I know its wrong conventionally but I say f*** it. I just wanted a low end to accompany my left and right guitar tracks. I also f***ed around with a drum set for a while but being they weren't exactly my drums, and I am left handed I again taught myself to play on a right-handed setup. Although I do use the left hand on the hi-hat, its just my arms arn't crossed while playing. Being left handed and learning everything right handed I think seriously f***s you up at some point. I can master alot of the rudimentary skills of playing but I think to really break into the next level I would have to re-learn everything left-handed style which is a little bit too much of a re-investment for me. I guess another way of looking at that last statement is my sh*** has a kind of unique quality.... At least I like it.


I had gotten a GSP-21 PRO for guitar effects and whatnot and I would either hook it to an amp and run a microphone to the pc, or just plug the line-out directly to the line-in on my sound card. I started recording to my computer back in 95-96 using simple wav editors. I would use a simple drum machine program (back then it was all MIDI) and play guitar over it, recording the resulting mix to the pc. I would usually have the guitar in left channel and the drums on the right, keeping them seperated. Because I was using nothing but a simple wav editor that came free with my pc, I would use the wav pattern of the drums to mark the timing for me to cut, copy and paste my creation. It was a painstaking process and seems retarded now with all the new software out there. I moved into using programs like Sound Forge and Acid later and thats when things really moved into high gear.. Unfortunatly I lost alot of the projects I had going in a hardware failure and did not have a backup. Some of the ones that survived are posted here and the others I have are available on request.

I've tried to put as much info about each track as I could remember. But being that they are getting old, I can't remember as much as I would like. While listening to a song, be sure to click on the lyrics/story and see whats up!
