Tell us about your gear: My tone is pretty basic no frills, just all tube and crunch mostly. I play through a reissue Marshall JTM 45 (vintage is always best), on like a couple of sweet custom Fender Telecasters. I use a Jekyll&Hyde stomp box by visual sound, and a Line 6 Delay Modeler (very versitile pedal). I have a chorus pedal but it sucks and I don't use it. The rest however, does a pretty good job of makin me sound legit.
How many bands have you been in? Like 10... I know I know too many! You think I woulda got the hint by now.
What is your most embarrassing moment? I don't really get that embarassed... well I get embarassed, but I'm to A.D.D. for it to really stick with me. So nothing reall sticks out in my head. Typically I'm usally the one doing the embarrassing if you know what I mean!;)
What are your hobbies? Umm... music? Seriously it just started out as a hobbie! Like I knew there were "Rock Stars" and they were rich people, but I didn't think it was an actual serious career move for anybody. Matter fact now that I think about it... it's not a serious career move! I mean this is crazy! ...Dudes we should start an accounting firm.
What are you favorite TV shows? If I could actually watch TV on a regular basis it would be House I'm sure. I've seen a few episodes, and I really identify with the main character. Although, I can never remember his name...
If you didn't do music what would you do? I said it already. Me and the "Dudes" should start an accounting firm. That probably won't happen because secretely we're all really stupid... Okay maybe it's not a secret.
What is your all-time favorite Movie? Gotta be "That Thing You Do" and "Forest Gump"
What movie most represents your life? Indiana Jones because I'm always up for an adventure, I also hate snakes, and there is always some stupid Nazi trying to stop me from finding the treasure before him!!!
If you were a girl and you had to date one guy in the Harlend, who would it be and why? Well I can tell who it wouldn't be and that's Zach! He's Just too needy. Matt would be a good choice because he's sooo devoted. You know he wouldn't take you for granted! Although that's very admirable, devotion can sometimes be seen as clingy. At the end of the day Brandon is my only real option. He's a little young I know, but what he lacks in maturity he makes up for in his carefree adventurous spirit! You know he would show you a genuine good time. Brandon's hygene could become an issue, but I think I could look beyond that... Maybe? Let's face it, who doesn't wanna date the Frontman?
Favorite Bible Verse: Romans 8:1 ...And yes I have been set free!
What is your favorite food? Mexican, Thai, Italian, Mexican!!!
Do you have any idiosyncrasies? Yes. I have a hard time giving serious answers to stupid questions such as these.
Have you ever taken your bike off of any sweet jumps, how did it go? No.
What is your favorite book? The one I could finish!
What do you do in your spare time? Write, play, write, play. However I'm not a playwrite.
Tell us a little known fact about yourself: I've never gone trick or treating.
