SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
Been playing bass for over 8 years thus far. Looking for a band. Or someone or some people to jam with. I don't like to steal the thunder but I knows how to bring it. I've played in two bands, both performed covers. I'm not saying I want to play covers only, but I don't mind taking the time to learn a few and get some originals together. A change of pace is needed.

Influences
Lots of bands from the early 90's era:
- Alice in Chains
- Blink 182
- Pearl Jam
- Seven Mary Three
- Headstones
- Tool
- Nirvana
- Rage Against the Machine
- Smashing Pumpkins, etc.
Lots of bands from the post-90's:
- Deftones
- Sevendust
- Incubus
- Slipknot
- Killswitch
- Trivium
- Audioslave
- Atreyu
- Silverstein
- Limp Bizkit
Everyone always says Geddy Lee, Fieldy, Les Claypool, Jason Newstead or Billy Sheehan or whatever turned them onto the bass. Not me. Sam Rivers from Limp Bizkit made me want to pick up a bass in the first place.
Chi Cheng, Tim Cummerford, Sting, Justin Chancellor and Mark Hoppus are my main inspirations. Especially Tim, because when I first started I hated Jazz basses. Now I'm accustomed. What happened to me? lol
