Hello fellow Bandmix musicians! I'm 45 years old and been playing guitar since high school (graduated in 95). Been in a variety of gigging bands over the decades. I also sing. I can do both (play guitar and sing) at the same time depending on the song (hard to play Tool for example and sing at the same time… That would be like boxing with Mike Tyson while giving a dissertation on quantum physics - you just can't do it at the same time…) My musical influences are the mighty Metallica (everything from before they went mainstream to some stuff afterwards), a lot of the 90s rock stuff like Red Hot Chilli Peppers (huge fan!) No Doubt, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Garbage, etc. I've also played in cover bands that focused on late 70s and 80s/90s classic rock like Foreigner, ZZ Top, Guns n Roses, Tom Petty, Van Halen, Eddie Money, Billy Idol, etc. Looking for folks in my area interested in either jamming for fun or forming a proper cover/party band to play out. Hit me up if interested! Thanks! KEEP ROCKING!
