One of the Creative Loafing reviews said . . . "If you're a fan of 90's Alt-Rock mixed w/ Modern Prog, Hard Rock, & a bit of Alt-Metal thrown in for good measure, this is the band for you - Sam's vocals are a mix of Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) & Scott Stapp (Creed); Stu's drumming flurries are very much like that of Sammy Del Real from Wax on Radio; Ian attacks his guitar with the creative nuance of both Mike McCready & Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), yet has a melodic sense very similar to Jimmy Page & David Gilmour; Finally, Juan's bass playing is a thunderous mix of Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Tim Commerford (RATM/Audioslave), Justin Chancellor (Tool), & Cliff Burton (Metallica) - I have one word to describe this band . . . AWESOME"
I make MUSIC for a living - I'm a Session Guitarist, Guitar Instructor, and Luthier; I've been playing professionally (paid) since 1999 -- I own quite a few guitars (currently 16), the number fluctuates from year to year depending on my needs (I owned 28 guitars in 2004) -- I use them all, love them all, and always want more -- I love music & gear (guitars, pedals, amps, etc) -- I've been called a greedy guitar & gear hoarding bastard Wonder if that's an interest or a hobby???
Occupation:
Musician (Music Degree), Session Guitarist (over the years I've worked for Sony®, Epic®, EMI®, Atlantic®), Guitar Instructor (teaching since '96), & Luthier (I build guitars).
Which famous guitarist are you?
Your Result: David Gilmour
You play from the heart. You also deliver a great show anytime. You have skill, but you really don't like to show off. You let the music come in second to the visuals of the show. You prefer to play with people who know what they are doing.
