One of my old bands, Mavis. We were very big in the local scene in San Antonio back in '02-'04..then we split....fucking stupid shit, id be up there with you kraker if i had kept that band together....BITTERNESS!!! AHH! Dont have many pics from then......dunno where they all are.
Im on the far left in both pics.



Once i start saving enough money im starting a band back up...ill catch up to you sooner or later Kraker. But for now...keep fuckin dem asian chicks... :P

I play guitar and bass in 2 bands. One is death metal and the other is grindcore/metal.

I'd list all my stuff but it's a lot. I've got about $8,000 in a full ampeg bass stack, full marshall stack, and guitars. I started playing guitar in 1994 and have been in bands since 1998.

lol haha yea ive been playin guitar since i was 17..... im 18 lol. its only been a few months so right now ive just been learnin riffs. i started on an ibanez jumpstart guitar lol, and now i got a lyon by washburn mike kennerty sig. and the new amp i posted. i think im more influenced (if i can be influenced at this amount of experience lol) by hard classic rock by bands like black sabbath AC/DC and yes Metallica. Kirk Hammett is an awsome guitarist and James Hetfield's song topics r really deep. ( yea go ahead and make fun of me but i like songs with meanin lol

I have been playing Air Guitar for 21 years now.... I sit in front of my mirror and wale away on the air. Sometimes even naked after and/or before I get in the shower.

But that aside.. I did Piano for 2 years, which then lead into Percussion and Drums. I like to bang shit, or that's what she said. Still drum away on my practice pad and sometimes even pillows (living in apartments suck).

I did play Electric Bass there for a lil bit. Got boring, so I sold my amp and guitar. My dad got it for me for Christmas from Mars Music (It used to be in Memorial City Mall in Houston, but moved out).
