The kind of guy cops would search just because they can...

I don't really have all that much time to upload too many tracks since I have a woman - I love you too baby - but I'm making a concious effort to express and exploit my talents on a more regular basis...

So you'll get when you get it, alright... jeez...

I toiled and troubled in music since the tender age of 8 starting with a "Blok-fluit"(a wooden flute). Toiled and troubled 'cause I had this whole focusing thing or lack there of, and subsequently had to stop with classes or pay the therapist bills... Not really, this was after-all the 80's and therapists counseled for free...
Thereafter I recieved a keyboard but with reluctance to sign me up for another mental break-down(from the teacher that is), I had to figure things out for myself... It took me a while...
By 16 more and more friends of mine got interested in music(or at least the image to chat-up chicks), which also helped me and gave me more resources. By 17 I sold my only transport(High point arrow BMX - chrome, trick-stands, etc.), walked from pawn shop to pawn shop, searching for my destiny, in the shape of a nylon-stringed-some-or-other-asian-built-cheapie... Guitar yes!

But now... I am actually learning to make music and speak entire sentences HAHAHA

Nebe wants my influences... and by now probably you too...

Grew up with Pink Floyd, G'n R, Jim Croche, Creedence, Dire Straights(which my mother thought to actually be satanic there for a while... Is it any wonder we don't really speak to each other?)etc.

My TOP 5 for now... as I am entitled to change my mind.

1. Tool - Best drummer in MY world, best progression in MY world, Best vocal range in MY world, Best videos in THE world.
2. Opeth - These guys rock... Seriously. But also the vocalist can do ANY style he wishes... no really...
3. Rage Against the Machine - They had a serious impact on my young rebel self and Tom Morello is a musical/guitaring GENIUS. If you want to debate this rather just go buy a gun(legally or Illegally) and kill yourself... seriously...
4. The Mars Volta - Geniuses with no Boundries. I like that kind.
5. The Killers - They've got it. Don't judge me...

Electronic

1. NIN - 'cause we all grew up with Trent's twisted world...
2. VNV Nation - If the Killers has it, then this is where they got it... Their sound is F@&*ing the best... in my opinion
3. Icon of Coil - serious skills... 'nuff said
