Well, basically I'm here on my quest to find other like-minded peeps who wanna create some decent music without any stinkin' boundaries that most people limit themselves to...
Although whatever I do will have it's roots in metal, I feel bare naked metal is too limiting and has been done to death - I wanna break through to something which retains a sporadic heavyness, but explores the complete polar opposite of metal as we know it! (I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but this is just the way I have to describe it to really get my point across)
Although being absolute sh*thot at whatever your chosen instrument is would be a bonus, I'm not looking for any skill levels in mind - just anyone who wants to make some interesting stuff... It doesn't matter if you're no Vai or Petrucci (big respect to them though), if you have an instrument and a sense of rhythm and creativity, that's all I'm askin!
One thing I wanna avoid is that shoddy mediocre metalcore stuff that's all the rage in the local scenes around here - it's just beating a dead horse... and they have bad haircuts, nuff said.
So yeah... If this sounds like something you'd like to help me out with, I wanna hear from you... I live near Lowestoft (a place now famous thanks to a dissing from Gene Simmons... he was kinda right), and I reckon that's enough info for now, well done if you've actually made it down to here and are still reading this!

EQUIPMENT
I've got an Ibanez RG 370B (with a floating bridge which is a bit of a pain really), an Epiphone Les Paul (as I'm too poor to afford a Gibson) and one of those Squier Strats you get in Argos (which everyone always seems to get started on)... And a crappy little Yamaha keyboard which is really old skool, YEAH!
