Nick Deacon
I'm 16 years old, living out of Jersey...I first picked up a guitar in 2001. I play Metallica, Dream Theater, Incubus, and just a bunch of different odds and ends. I am not actually 'a band' but wanted to make a SoundClick after playing around with Cool Edit Pro).
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play live, but if i do, it would be once I get a band together...which I am having a bit of trouble doing. So if you live in the Southern New Jersey area and want to get something going, email me.
Your musical influences
My influences greatly include Jimi Hendrix, Kirk Hammett, Dimebag Darrell (RIP), and John Petrucci. Jimi Hendrix really played with feeling and had a pretty mellow style compared to today. Kirk Hammett inspired me to learn crazy riffs, licks, and solos outside of normal punk rock and anything too pop-esque and mainstream. John Petrucci of Dream Theater is just the best, haha. I would LOVE to be like him some day.
