Welcome to my own little corner of oblivion. It’s nice here on the web if Guy isn’t trying to drop photos on you or stick you in the ear with a cursor. It’s a dark little world full of wonderful shades of grey and other colours (but I like grey, I like black even better,) and no one can really find you unless they look really hard (can you see me, I’m waving.)
Anyway back to the serious stuff, (what serious stuff?) I am “cough” years old, with a serious sense of humour defect, I think I’m funny. No one else does. Maybe I’m just sad? I’ve been playing in bands for about fifteen years but have been playing almost non-stop for the past ten years moving from band to band playing all sorts of music and hopefully getting better doing it.
Became a ‘rock fan’ listening to Queen’s ‘Killer Queen’ only later to pick up on Kiss and Rush. It was then that I had my blinding flash of utter godlike proportions, I heard the first Van Halen album. I also fell in love with UFO, Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest. To those of you who are younger in years let it also be said that I like Korn, Deftones, Monster Magnet, Terrorheart and Wildvison (?), and loads of other stuff (but not Steps) far too numerous to contemplate.
My role in this band is that of ‘frontperson’, you could call me a singer but I wouldn’t own up to it, I get by. I also provide most of the original material and still have stacks of other stuff waiting in the cobweb infested wings. The difference between the subject matter I’ve written for this band and that which has been written in other bands I’ve been in, is that it’s more personal based on people I know and emotions I go through (yes, a man of the 90s). Previous stuff was more fantasy based, musical storytelling if you like.
Although I write all the material on guitar I usually let Droidy play all the live stuff cause to be fair he is the better guitarist. I am hoping to play my axe more over the next year which will also coincide with Caroline doing more lead vocals. I may even play some keyboards soon.
Over the next year we are hoping to include lots of new cover versions and somewhere along the way slip in some of that newer material I’ve stockpiled as well as contributions from the rest of the band. Make that ‘over the next two years.’
Anyway time to go, places to see, people to go (?)
Live long and legless.
Gary luvs his gear! So here's more stuff on it (Guy)

Well seeing as I am the singer ( kind of) you’d think I wouldn’t have much stuff, well you’d be wrong. I’m also a frustrated harmonica player and an even more frustrated guitar player, all the stuff is listed below:
