XaosLord goes back to when I played in a band in the late 80's / early 90's. One of the guys
I played with used to call me 'The Lord of Chaos' and it kinda stuck. I was the only one in
the band who could read or write music, so it always fell to me to work out arrangements
and such. Plus, I have Bipolar disorder, so that adds to the chaos sometimes, too, much
to my chagrin.Band/artist history
I've been playing since I was about 9, so that's 40 years now. There were periods
when I didn't play at all, either because I didn't have an instrument or because I chose to
set it aside for a little while.Have you performed in front of an audience?I don't perform any more, though I have been asked to several times. I think what I do miss
about playing out is seeing people's eyes light up when you play something well and they like
it. My favourite moment was playing center stage at the Erie arts festival in June 1980.
Your musical influences
Lots of influences, and far too many to list here. I will say that the bulk of them come from
the Progressive, Hard Rock, Jazz and Classical arenas and let it go at that.What equipment do you use?
Agile, Douglas, SX and Ibanez guitars, GHS strings, Behringer effects, and tons of software. I think it's
far more important to have an instrument that feels and sounds right than to have a name on
the headstock. Why spend thousands of dollars on guitar X because that's what your hero
plays? You aren't going to sound like them anyway, so why worry?
