SEEKING
Background Singer, Drums, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
I love most things metal. Hair metal, thrash metal, progressibe metal, epic metal, it's all good. I prefer to play more progressive/power metal than anything. Pretty Maids, Helloween, Riot, Savatage, and Edguy are some of my favorite bands. I'm equally happy and at home playing hair metal (Poison, Crash Diet, Dangerous Toys) or old school thrash (Overkill, Metallica, Kreator). I don't like cookie monster vocals.
