SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Revised March 2017:
Metal drummer since early 1980 (born 1973), looking to step out from behind the kit and experience life as a frontman. No formal vocal training, but I do have years of experience as a backing vocalist and more than two decades as a solo performer other non-singing ventures as well as in public speaking.
Prefer to find individual musicians to form a new band rather than join an existing one, but not averse to stepping in if your band has recently lost its singer.
Career-minded? Probably not. Just looking to get back into performing the music that made me who I am and have a little fun doing it before I'm old enough to have regrets about not doing it. I simply no longer have the time, space, or resources to continue maintaining a full drumset.
Top 5 influences as a musician overall:
Iron Maiden
Helloween
Megadeth
King Diamond
Annihilator (first 3 albums in particular)
Top 5 influences as a prospective lead vocalist:
Ghost
W.A.S.P.
Death Angel
Living Colour
Finger Eleven
Other hard rock and metal tastes range from classic Sabbath and Hendrix to nu-metal innovators Korn and Powerman 5000. Throw in symphonic movie soundtracks and whatever other genre saw significant mainstream radio airplay from about 1970-1991, and that's me in a nutshell.
