Pastor Brad
Welcome to PASTOR BRAD'S SoundClick page!
If you're into Heavy Metal/Hard Rock -- Esp. 80s influenced, guitar-driven, Christian Heavy Metal... you just discovered a cool artist!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
www.guitarjams.net launched in April of 2004 with the dual releas of the first two PASTOR BRAD CDs: "Get Real" and "Rock You Up". Since that day the site has continued to grow and attract fans of classic, 80s style, Christian Metal from all over the world!
I've released a few cds since then...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes--Mainly in central PA--but I'll go anywhere there are means and opportunity to play! I love it!
Your musical influences
As a teenager, I cut my guitar-playing teeth listening to guys like Angus Young (AC/DC), Randy Rhoads (Ozzy), Ace Frehley (Kiss) and Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden)... and lots of other killer players of that time. And since then... I'd have to say that Bands like Stryper, Whitecross, Barren Cross and Bloodgood have had a BIG impact on me as well!
What equipment do you use?
I've owned a lot of guitars over the years, but right now I play a 73 Fender Tele deluxe, and a nice, mid 90's Fender Acoustic. For an amp--I've used a Fender Princeton Chorus for about the last 15 years.
For Producing My CDs--
I use Cakewalk's Guitar Tracks 2, Izotope's Ozone, Antares' "TUBE", TC Native Essential's plug-in pack, Coyote Compressor/Expander plug-in, and Ev and Shure mics.
Anything else?
