Re: The Well LXXXIIII: zombies from outer space!
tone4days:
I'm really 18.
I live at two different places depending the time of year. either Coral Gables (Miami) Florida, or Puerto Rico. I'm a full time student and i work at a library at my university as well as play gigs with my band. theres an awesome story involving master of puppets that is kind of long, but ill elaborate if anyone shows interest
My family is divided in two because my parents are divorced. My Father was born in NYC while my mom was born in Georgia. they met in PR. My mom's family is full of military men, whilst my father's family is very separated because of tension and distrust between a few people in it.
My favorite guitar is hard to choose. I usually opt for either my Fender Jaguar HH, Strat or my Tom DeLonge Epi ES-333. These days ill probably pick up the Jaguar just because of the tonal options.
Id love to own some sort of vintage fender. Im sure the gibson version of the tom delonge ES-333 was a real piece a work, i wouldnt mind one of those either.
My favorite amp that I am very close to owning is a Fender HotRod Deville.
while on vacation in orlando i went to guitar center, i searched for a Jaguar HH, asked the dude to bring it down because they almost had it nailed horizontally onto the ceiling (how do they expect people to buy THOSE guitars all the way up there anyway?) and went around searching for a Vox AC30. you see, im a huge blink 182 fan, and tom delonge changed his rig to 2 voxac30s for his dirty sounds and fender twins for the cleans. i wanted to see what my guitar would sound like though that gear, so i looked for it but they didnt have an AC30. i was about to leave the store but said, hey he plays a fender for the cleans so i plugged into this medium sized combo amp and played my jag for a while. sounded AMAZING clean. then i switched the overdrive on, and though well its a fender i cant expect it to have Soldano gain... then i pressed "more drive" and was shocked. it was so fluid and textured, i knew i had to get one. turns out one of my best friend plays one and is selling it :naughty: since im his bro, he's giving it up for 400. its worth almost 1K new.
I'd love to own a mesa or soldano someday. high gain sounds that are heard around the globe- why not?
my favorite type of music cant be nailed down so I'll say general rock. i love guitarists in all kinds of rock music.
my favorite band is blink-182.
ive been playing for about 7 years.
what made me want to start was just the idea of electric guitar. i dont know, as an 11 year old it was mysterious and cool. i went into a music store with my dad at the time, he was going to buy a bass for his girlfriend's son. he wanted to start. i just remember being there and seeing all the guitars and thinking wow this is all so cool.
I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
as my biggest accomplishment, id like to continue with my band and put out several good albums. id love to play as my main source of income.
my proudest accomplishment so fad would have to be just the progess ive achieved with my music. my band has become a unit that can churn out ideas and polish them and make them better then you thought they could be. weve only been a band for about 2 years but theres just such a connection when we play, i read an article about how despite the beatles' disagreements, when they went on the rooftop and jammed, it was perfect. thats what i mean, musically these guys are now my brothers and playing with another band just feels ok at best. we now have enough material for an album, and are in the process of recording it. were going to release it ourselves so this is quite an effort.
my deepest regret would have to be letting go of a (now) woman who i admit was the one. we still talk but its depressing, i only get the chance to see her a few times a year, and more often than not shes working and i cant see her.
i dont really have anything it like to promote or shoot down about myself, but i will say this: alot of the time i read responses on the forum and feel that we dont give each other fair treatment. alot of people just dont know about certain topics whether it be pickups, strings, even dating or math or grammar. i think we should really take the time to just be nice to each other (which we generally do) and not be prejudiced just because a user is young or old or black or white or a man or woman.
one thing my parents have always done well is stick up for themselves, they each have a work ethic ill struggle to match.
my parents had several issues in their marriage that one can chalk up to miscommunication. i wish to avoid the situation.
id say my favorite childhood memory overall is just being so young and innocent and not knowing about the worlds problems and being happy. i wish i could go back.
