1 kabillion years

charlie daniels band, I was little and it was confusing and cool. the greatful dead, sacramento. What a freak show!
The Cure in salt lake city. they were awesome.

ibanez, danelectro,yamaha, guitars
spector, gibson bass
Home made/ alesis e-drums (triggers)
focusrite preamps, sonar x1, various plugins, mxl ribbon mic, various other mics
l5 amp
metal zone pedal (actually pretty versatile for me turn down the gain)

beach boys most of my life, cause they got some cool harmonies and arangements, beatles obvious reasons (and if you think they are overrated I will fight you) The cure cool arangements and emotion, bass takes a melodic center stage type of feel.

The problem I have is that I hear little bits of every musician or band ever in every thing I hear. That is how I know if one of my songs is decent, if it reminds me of something I have heard before, crap I dunno.

not now, have been most of my life though.
wait I play with my brother sometimes. Does that count?

I hate jamming. I would rather write songs. maybe danny elfman or brian wilson. Most of these artist seem like they would be hard to get along with.

couple hundred I gues, smallest prolly just the band and bartenders!

pet sounds by the beach boys or oh inverted world by the shins.
