JOE JONES-DRUMS & VOCALS

Here we have a rhythmic foundation with excellent time, chops & more stuff than you can shake a stick at.

Joe was raised on country music, grew up strumming guitar with his Father and Rick until he heard KISS and AEROSMITH and ANGEL around 1975 or '76.  At that same time, a buddy of his down the street had a drum set and Joe took to them like stink on shit.  "Mom bought me my first drum set and I have been going at it ever since."

Self taught by listening to and emulating the greats like Barry Brandt of ANGEL, Peter Criss of KISS, Brian Downey of THIN LIZZY, Darrell Sweet of NAZARETH, Joey Kramer of AEROSMITH, Joe X. Dube of STARZ, , and drummers of bands and artist like HEART, THE BABYS,  BROWNSVILLE STATION, ALICE COOPER, TED NUGENT, ZEPPELIN,  UFO, CHEAP TRICK, QUEEN, GOLDEN EARRING, ON & On & On & On & On...... It might have been easier to say everything in his 4000+ record collection. Oh yea, we can't forget ANIMAL.............You get the idea?
"I love Rock, Classic and Hard Rock as much as I love Southern Rock,  Glam, or Pop or Metal or Blues. A good Song is just that. A Good Song!, No matter what style."
Joe's previous band's include SPEED LIMIT, BLUE ODYSSEY, NOBODY'S BUSINESS and STEPCHILDE, and spent close to 10  years with HIGH ROLLER. Then a couple years with the Metal Band PAYBACK. After a year and a half off, he played for DR. WOO for a short time, which led to FULL CIRCLE.
