SEEKING

ABOUT

Started piano lessons at 4 and continued until I was 15. Around 6 or 7 I tought myself to play the drums. My second favorite instrument. My first is vocals. I have played in many bands and performed from sh*t holes only serving booze in plastic cups because bottles become wepons to singing Christmas chorels in the White House for President & Nancy Regan. I also sang the national anthem for a Phillies game at the Vet. That was really cool. Somewhere along the way I learned to play the guitar. I am not the greatest but I can hold my own and now do all my writing on the guitar. I am easy to work with. I believe that music is not about who is better than who. It is a realease of emotions and that is not something to be judged. I am open minded to ideas, mine are not the only ones and if someone has a better idea for my creations I will go with it. Colaberation is my preference when writing. Two minds are better then one. My creations are very strong but there is always room to improve on them. My newest Cd is the one that I am most proud of. I am confident it will make it easy to assemble a band of accomplished and gifted musicians. I tried to create them to be fun to play. frankrementeratcom is the way to contact me without having to pay for this service.

Influences

On the piano Beethoven tought me how to feel. On the drums John Bonhem tought me how to groove. On the Guitar Chad Ginsburg (CKY) showed me a few chords to get me started. Since we were kids he has always amazed me with his playing. He was the influence that made me want to play the guitar. John & Paul (The Beatles) tought me vocal harmonies. Sebastian Bach tought me how to sing with attitude. Eddie Veder showed me that there is so much more to write about then sappy love songs. He wrote the greatest love song ever (Black) and I believe it's a waste of time to create anouther for it will never amount to more than second rate to Black, so why bother. If I am not in tears after I perform Black I did not play it right. I think Arron Lewis should of left it alone. His performance sucked. Outside is a great song and he should stick with that.

EQUIPMENT

Alverez achostic
Fender Strat
BC Rich Warlock
Child support limits me. I had to sell most of my gear to stay out of jail. Broke my heart but I want my son to have the best. I cant wait until he wants a guitar so I can get a Les Paul Custom (Black)
