I've not updated this site in years but thought i would drop by for nostalgias sake and check out some of the folks i used to communicate with regularly.....hi if you're still out there :) Current Projects: The Feckers - "Courage Of Conviction Part II: Live & Learn" The Feckers - "Courage Of Conviction Part III: In The Face Of Adversity" www.thefeckers.net
Have you performed in front of an audience?
On the odd occasion I have made a couple guest appearances with The Hiway Blues Band & Quadraphonic. And yeah I've enjoyed doing a spot of backing vocals and tambourine bashing (although I can't vouch for the band members always enjoying it). The best gig we had was at a woolshed for someones 40th birthday, I was only going to sing backing vocals for one song but wound up onstage for half the night LOL. Feb 2006 saw the first set ever performed by The Phil-In's....How many bands can go through 2 drummers, 2 bassists and also fire their lead singer in the space of 4 or 5 songs ???? GONE WILD have yet to perform as a live entity, but requests have been made for such a thing to happen, unfortunately our schedules have been such that it has been impossible for us to get together a live set, this was one thing we had hoped to rectify but unfortunately time and the stars haven't aligned for it to be possible.
Your musical influences
Lyrically i draw inspiration from everyday life, weither it be things i have experienced myself (thoughts and feelings) or things that i have read or been witness to. I find the more emotional the subject matter the more other people seem to be able to relate, although I do write things that tend to sometimes be of an ambiguous nature. Musically I am inspired by the following: Rob Smith, Svenni Bjorgvins, Freddie Mercury, Phil Lynott, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Gary Cherone, Neil Finn, Dave Dobbyn, Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, Gary Moore and Jim Steinman. Bands that I really like are: Queen, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Free, Bad Company My favourite vocalists are: Freddie Mercury, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Aretha Franklin, Gary Cherone, Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant, Amanda Marshall
What equipment do you use?
That is a bit of a personal question don't you think ?
Anything else?
Help us and also our friends out by buying our CD's as opposed to just listening to the music online, the sound quality is better on disc. for all things GONE WILD & Richard Anderson related - (facebook)
