About

Tell us about yourself?: 

I live in San Francisco, CA. Been listening to metal all my life and raised my son listening to metal, but he's into the new groove and core metal scene for the most part, but he still digs my stuff. I'm mostly into late '70s, 80s and 90s, and some current metal in the speed, thrash, technical, death, doom, black, and progressive modalities. I also love classical music and know a lot about music history and theory and guitar. I love classical music just as much as metal, maybe more. Especially the type that most resembles metal. If you want to check out some mind blowing metal written like 75-100 years ago, you might try Bartok string quartets 2-4-6 and Berg string quartet 2 and Lyric suite and any of the symphonic works, operas, ballets from either of these guys as a starter. Why not challenge and broaden your musical realm? It could open up new worlds..Or.. you just might hate it.
