born: Watford, Hertfordshire.
plays: vocals and guitars
equipment: Fender US Standard Telecaster guitar with a "trendy" Bespeco volume pedal through a Zoom 2100 multi effects unit into a 75 watt 1986 Marshall amp. Hohner Countryman acoustic guitar. Yamaha Electro-acoutic guitar. A Shure SM58 vocal mic
Influences: Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), Jeff Buckley (Jeff Buckley) John Squire (The Stone Roses, The Seahorses), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), REM are a huge influence, NOT the Beatles, those Beach-loving Boys, Carpenters, BOWIE is the "Starman"!! I like a lot of rap, but Puff Diddy can go away and die.
Musical influences by way of the fact that I don't like them; all 12-bar blues is ABSOLUTE SHIT, I'm afraid, a BIG influence on me. All country is also shit, although I like the occasional tune I must admit. Leann Rimes, I ADORE.
Some dance music is good, some is terrible. Depends on the tune. I like some R&B if it's on the radio. I don't like jolly, Chas'n'dave numbers. That puts me off a lot of cockney music, Ian Dury and Madness...I DON'T LIKE. I also dislike reggae, sorry Bob, although you wrote a few good tunes and you were cool.
Tough if you don't agree, it's my right to have an opinion. You can bugger off.
