JB Nation was the lunatic behind the "DEADNATION" and "JB Project" protocols (2010 - 2024). By the year 2025, he merged both subjects into 1 name "JB Nation". JB Biography: "Cockpit" was my 1st experimental project with a full band. From 1993 to 1998, I was struggling with this band to revolutionize my soon to be "John Balls" identity. My nickname was later changed to "John Balz", and by 2023, the name was finally settled as "JB Nation" in the courts of almighty greatness. Cockpit started out with 3 individuals. Steve on Drums, Me on Guitar & Vocals, and Jason Morales on bass guitar & vocals. This experiment later adapted a more industrial type of rock and funk, to where 2 new characters were added in 1995. They were additional singers and effectsman "Joe "Jewdeep" Hooka and E-bone Hensley, aka the "Speaker of Doom". This was turning into a freestyle 'beastie boys like', unplanned and intense form of music. More line-up changes later were vocalist "Ramcat", Rhythm guitarist Ryan Cahill, Justin Morales on vocals and electronic drums, and Bob "Crazy Bob" Horman on Bass & backup. All members were short lived and quit to play in a better band that wears dresses and lip-stick. For a short time, I changed the name "Cockpit" to "P.I.M.P. Nation" - AKA The Politically Insane Mortal Protesters. Cockpit Disbanned and later turned into a keyboard workstation beat master industrial metal freestyle group of songs that were later remastered and put into the "JB Nation" catologue, previously called "DEADNATION" from 2010 - 2022.
