My name is Glen Giles, and this is a mid-life crisis project. You remember when you were young and in bands and had dreams of rocking the world? Then college, wife, kids, house, cars, etc., and then one day you realize the real you really is a musican, but no one knows it, not even your family? So, get some gear together, start recording, put together a cd, and show them, and the world that follically challenged guys can still sound like the long haired dudes of yesterday!Band/artist history
Well, I've been in a variety of bands, but the only one that made a speed bump of an impact in the entertainment capital of the world, Columbus, GA, was Phantom. The photo is from a 20 year old Phantom publicity shot that I cropped and added some grafitti. After being completely out of music for almost 20 years, I've been back in now for about a year.Have you performed in front of an audience?I NEVER play live, 'cause it's just me. Maybe I'll do an acoustic thing at an open mic thing sometime, if I write a good enough song.
Your musical influences
Just about anyone who played a loud guitar. KISS got me to first pick up a guitar, but I really like heavier, bluesier Rock stuff, although I don't sing that style well. So what I enjoy playing, I can't really sing, so I'm sort of 'working' on a style!What equipment do you use?
Carvin Bolt-T, Carvin DC150, Kramer Baretta w/Floyd Rose, Dean Edge 1 bass, Washburn D-28, Johnson J-Station, M-Audio Omni Studio, MXL-V67 condensor mic, Sony ECM-330 mic, record into acidmusic 3.0, and am just starting to mess around with Sound Forge.Anything else?
