Warming up for my headline show at the o2
Uploaded 12 months ago
How long have you been playing?
When i was younger i got these video glasses that were supposed to be like playing in a computor game, only they were awfull, so as a last minute suggestion once we'd taken them back i convinced my folks i played guitar at school, and they bought me a guitar and an amp. Only i couldnt play at all!!. So i had to learn really fast or i thought they'd be mad at me, i learned a few songs, Whiskey in the Jar by metallica and Enter sandman, and my folks were that impressed that i could sound just like the recordings,i got a massive buzz from the attention i got. So id learn anything and everything i could to get peoples attention. I got addicted, and years later ive done my Performance A-level, done session work, and play in a signed Metal band called Crysis Uk and love playing live, :D
What was the first concert you ever went to?
My first concert ever was Bon Jovi, the Crush Tour 2000 at wembly stadium. But the first real gig was Ozzfest 2004
What gear do you use?
My fav make and model guitars are Ibanez S series, very slim and the zero point system on it is in my opinion the best invention since the pickup.
I use an Axe FX 2 live and have used Line6 stuff for years and in the bedroom.
I have a very special Dean Rusty cooley Xenocide model thats amazing to play on but im terrified of scratching it!

What are you looking for from Fandalism?
I think a video of the week would be a good idea, with like a Trophy icon instead of the flames to show the video was a Video of the week, and the award being declared in the comments and the date of it being awarded
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
i saw Zakk wylde play onstage with ozzy at ozzfest 2004 and it made a real impact on me, it was like seeing god himself play guitar
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
Crysis UK are a metal band from oxford that im the lead guitarist of.
Me and the singer met a year before the band started. We were both in oxfords best Metal pub the Gloucester Arms, or the Gloc as its known.
It was Guitar Hero night, like guitar hero karaoke, and someone was playing dragonforce. I started singing along in high pitched mode, and Kial the singer thought it was funny and did it also. We got talking, and i showed him a video of my playing the solo from the pantera song "Walk" id done on my phone. He couldn't believe i actually played it, then my friends told him it was definetly me and im awesome. :)
We've played all over the uk, and have opened for a few big'ish names, Senses Fail, Aliases, have been on Radio 1,
Had very VERY good reviews all over the place, we perform Hard, and in general go out to destroy everyone in our way.
We have a general underdog attitude and always put in the extra effort.
Our reviews have compared us to lamb of god and pantera, and my efforts in the solo department have compared me to Dimebag darrel and zakk wylde.

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Id love to jam with zakk wylde although id be star struck and totally out played.
Joe bonamassa would be my first choice though, he seems like a real nice guy and i love to pick his bluesy brain!.
Eric johnson too, i think i could watch him play forever!

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
id say we've played to a few thousand before, and the smallest one was 7 people, who in fact were the other bands on the lineup, a bar lady and the venue manager.
The best gig ill ever do is actually this Friday 6th July 2012, my band Crysis are opening for Soulfly in the oxford o2.
Its going to be crazy, and an absolute honour.

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
Id take dust bowl by Joe Bonamassa, i can listen to it over and over again and i don't get bored
