ABOUT

My Name is Greg Brown,
I've been playing guitar for approximately 9 years now.
--I have a good ear for music and can pick things up by listening to them, (been doing so for years.)
The style of music I want to play is melodic metal, power metal, progressive metal, Thrash Metal, stuff in those realms. I am influenced by Megadeth , Kreator, Mandator, Mysto Dysto, Tyrants Reign, Pyracanda, Vendetta, Sarcasm, D.A.M, Death Angel, etc. My melodic influences are: Ra, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Stratovarius, Astral Doors, Liquid Tension Experiment, etc. I'm a big classic '80s metal fan: Dokken, Whitesnake, Lynch Mob, Ratt, Steeler, Dio, Quiet Riot, Saigon Kick, Tesla, etc. write me at Mrspiderhands() (g)mail
