It was chosen before I joined the band. Chris chose it a few years ago...long before I was in the picture.

We will start playing live shows this spring/summer. DC area beware!!!

Really, I think it changed things for the best; that is, if you play music for the right reasons to begin with. There are bands that just want to get signed and make money. Then, there are other bands that still play for the love of putting on a show. Despite what may or may not happen, I just want to play shows. If I lose a some money because people are downloading songs for free, then so be it. That just means it's easier for the band to become recognized, in turn leading to bigger shows theoretically...lol

As long as I still got to play the music I want to play. If I am going to have a label, then I want to be able to live off of music alone...so of course you still gotta look out for yourself in that regard.

It's in the making as we speak!!!!

Well on guitar itself, I love the classics (of my generation), Satriani, Vai, Yngnwie, Petrucci, and the list only gets longer. It's hard to tell that they are my influences from a lot of my playing, but there are little flares here and there which bear other peoples' signatures. I think I got my bending from Petrucci, my major scale key changes from Satch, my sweep arpegio style from Yngwie (only because I don't pick the decending patterns - I cheat like he does), and my love of modified blues scales from Paul Gilbert. Now that I look at this, I am a walking copy machine.
