Incredibly good looking and talented. Lock up your girlfriends now... Haha ;)
Okay, seriously, as a guitarist I can play anything from blues and rock to thrash and black metal. I can be technical but prefer to go for a powerful groove and then drop a shredmonkey solo in now and then. I'm not an arrogant arse but I do have plenty of confidence and like to be professional (whilst having fun and a laugh of course!).
As a vocalist I may not be the best singer in the world but I like to put on a show and make up for any lacks with a bucket of presence and enjoy engaging the crowd and stirring things up.
I'm a damn good songwriter too, I know how to find 'the riff' and can improvise with just about anyone. That said I tend to get lost in my own world when jamming so you'll have to stop me if you hear something that rocks your world else I'll just keep riffing on by....
So, what am I looking for? Well, I'm open to offers - If you represent a serious touring band, cool, if you're good enough I'll leap at the chance to drop my day job and get into the action but I'll be blunt; I have to pay the bills! Or, if you just want to jam, have fun, maybe do a few pub gigs at some point, thats cool too. Don't worry about not being good enough or whatever, just give me a buzz we can meet up and see if it works. I love jamming with anyone.

Influences
Just about everything I've ever heard! Every song offers some advice if you listen carefully.
But on a personal level I started out with a combination of 'Maiden 'tallica, Slayer and Bolt Thrower mixed with Deep Purple, Whitesnake and Boston. Later I evolved into Paradise lost, Helloween and even a bit of Nirvana and G'n'R before being absorbed into the sheer awesomeness of Immortal, Dissection and all the dark world of BM.
Playing-wise I'd be most interested in doing some powerful classic rock stuff complete with spandex ;), maybe some metal shredding thrash or perhaps some kult underground BM. Take your pick!
