Here is an old pic of me with My explorer, It now has a EMG pickup on the bridge and I have much longer hair.

One of my favorite things to do is jam on my guitar, I play allot of rock. My biggest influence is Metallica! Not just because I went to High School with James Hetfield. (Hi James! Remember me?)
I also like Black Sabbath, Van Halen(old VH), Rush, Megadeth, PinkFloyd, Pantera, and nirvana.
My favorite guitars are my Purple Fender American standard strat! It plays like a dream and fits me like a glove and My custom red Gibson Explorer that just gets down and shreads!!!! I practice on my Princeton chorus amp with all the effects peddles that I need. But when It's time to get serious I plug into My Marshall half stack
I jam with a friend that also has a Marshall half stack, It's such a killer amp!! He's into Van Halen so thats what we play most of the time, I'm teaching him some Metallica so the future is getting bright!!

I have to say that Metallica has changed with their new releases and I'm kinda dissapointed, I still like them don't get me wrong. Listen to Ride the Lightning then pop in Reload and you can see for yourself. The older CD's like

Kill'Em All

Ride the Lightning

Master of Puppets

And Justice for all

and Garage Days jam!

Those are my favorites... Load and Reload are completely different. I think everyone knows this but I have to speak my mind.
Here is all my equipment!

Meet Chris! He is a great drummer and good friend, We Jam every chance we get plus he is teaching my daughter drums!
