Les King
I write and play to just about anything. I mostly spend my time with anything progressive, though. My main influences range from Dream Theater and Scale The Summit to acoustic works and your average pop bands.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The only place I currently play live is at my church, and I do enjoy it although I can't play as hard as I want to.
Your musical influences
Definitely Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci, they're my two favorites. Besides them, I enjoy Chris Letchford and Andy McKee.
What equipment do you use?
I'm playing an Ibanez S7320 as my main axe, and I run it into a Randall RX120D half stack for amplication. For recording purposes, I run directly into an M-Audio Fast Track and use reaper as my DAW. For plug-ins, I use Amplitube 3, EzDrummer, and several cabinet impulses.
