now you'll be, Three Tymes Crazy. 2012 update so now its officially been 10 years sense i started writing and playing music. i take a wide range of influences,
now you are three tymes crazy Well the band will one day be revived, i've taken to keeping the name Three Tymes Crazy [and my stage name as vilbe]. Lets see some information? well i started playing guitar i think about 12 years ago now. infact my first guitar is sitting next to me, as over the years i modded the hell out of it [was a rockaxe i think? not sure, the headstock long ago became illegible]. i always had wanted a guitar, and took to it like an obsession for the majority of my younger teenage years. infact i believe my first ever recording [that i can find] comes from 2001. back then i barely knew any chords, or songs, but i had this desire to just make music. All the recordings, with the pure exception of experiment are my solo recordings. experiment is the only surviving recording of the original three tymes crazy. the name, and a band was breifly started up again in 2006 featuring "monday" [unless her name wants to be used], and "shifty". we wrote a few songs together, but never recorded anything. infact, we might of jammed like a dozen times. monday ended up never learning drums too good, and well shifty went his seperate way. i refer to this band as "the liquid pills". [although i recently learned that shifty finished the song "fuck you its monday"] i've had a few guitars over the years, and i'm basically starting over. i didn't play much actually between the years 2007-2011, which is a shame because for a while i had a jagstang and a sweet fender amp at my disposal. woulda been great payback to techno guys obnoxious music.... here i am though, older and wiser. looking back i can't believe i walked away from music. infact, a year ago if you'd of asked me if i'd get back into it, i'd probally of told you "nah i outgrew that long ago." well i picked up the guitar again, and it all came back. i owe my rekindling of music to meeting and befriending a musician on a cruise i went on a year ago. Greg Schlotthauer, he played pop songs on the piano. I bought his CD and found out i liked his original stuff even more. I could see the energy, the euphoria, that playing music gave him, and i wanted that back again. i've started writing songs again, and polishing up some of the ones i can still remember from my past. my goal this year is to finally make the album i've always intended to make. recently, i played an open mic nite 3 song set and it was both euphoric and nerve wracking. prior to that, i had only played songs to a couple of friends. i plan on playing live more often this year.

Story behind the song
i wrote this song about my cigarette habit initally, but it fits every addiction there is. the song was wrote actually while it was being recorded, and i've played around with the lyrics quite a bit sense then. has the quiet/loud dynamic of alt. rock. [the riff during the verses ideally should be played on a bass, but i made do with what i had]. funny how later in life, its meaning is entirely different. the riff was actually a modified version of an old riff i had came up with some friends way back in the day. i tend to dedicate either this song [or heroin] to Jesse Spring.
