Now that raising the kids is behind me, the guitars are restrung, upgraded the gear to the new "Digital" world and got the band back together! (horns up!). My GoTo on the playlist always rests on my core thrash metal roots. Growing up it was all about Rush, then Number of the Beast dropped, enter the Swedish metal days and its been fun picking parts with tasty leads, harmonies, and solid crunch rhythms executed with precision! Band practice once a week, working down a set list of songs to cover to add to a dozen or so originals that will hold any devoted metalheads attention. Looking for a bass player who is interested in meeting up once a week to practice and have a great time. Our plan is to build up a list of 40 to 50 solid songs (still working that list down) and feathering in the originals to keep the creative juices flowing. No egos and not a ton of pressure. Gearing up to play the local circuit and make some effen noise! Set list spans Holy Wars, Trooper, South of Heaven, Four Horsemen (ok, not all seven minutes!!!), Medusa, Losfer Words, Wasted Years,.... working to create a few "Mash-ups" taking the highlights from those classic metal songs to keep the audience's attention.
