Have you performed in front of an audience?
Haven't played live much in the last few years. Family, 9-5 job, etc. make it tough to find the time to fit in the music, which is why I've enjoyed my home studio so much.
Your musical influences
Iron Maiden (Adrian Smith) was my first real "guitar hero". The song Wasted Years was my inspiration for picking up a guitar. As I progressed as a guitarist I looked for more and more challenging songs to play, so I got into Megadeth, and eventually into bands like Fates Warning and Dream Theater. Nowadays I've been listening to bands like Killswitch and Protest the Hero among many others. Vocally I've been compared to Geoff Tate (I took opera lessons in college), and I know the Bruce Dickinson influence is there.
What equipment do you use?
Mesa Boogie TriAxis, Simul 2-90, ESP Guitars, record on the Zoom MRS 1608

My daughter is moving into her new apartment in two days. Needed my help with the deposit so I "loaned" her $100, put electricity in my name, and just now paid the $87 for deposit on it. Left me with $27 in my bank account. I have no regrets because she's my perfect, my love.
Made this your own!
