User talk:Downthrow

Currently I am the only member of DownThrow. I am the sole provider of its lyrics and direction. I have a drummer, who is my best friend, but he is currently not in the right place to be able to play with me. So for now I am solo, and do most instruments myself. I am a Rhythm guitarists and have played for well over 15 years. I am also the singer. My insparations have varied over the span of my 32 years on this earth. From child hood (Bob Denver, Neil Diamond) then later hard rock (Def Leppard, Ratt, Ozzy, ect.). Then my early teens I ventured into a more alternative area (the Smiths, Echoe and the Bunnymen, Love and Rockets, The Cult, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, U2(alot of U2) ect. Then in my later teens I delved into just a plethura of dark heavy music, with other music that was lighter. I started off with Metallica, but lost interest once the black album was realeased, then went to a darker area, called Death metal. Took me a bit to get used to it but it was awe inspiring once you heard the syphony behind the mask of noise. Bands such as Death (awsome band), Fear Factory, Entombed, Morbid Angel, Canibal Corpse, At the Gates, Cancer, Deicide, Suffocation, Carcass(awsome band) I also touched large in the grunge area with Nirvana, NIN, and Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam ( Just the ten album), More ministry, STP, Smashing Pumpkins, you know the regular Stuff then. Later in the mid 90s I started to get into A band called Tool, wich Im sure we all know, They have inpired me far beyound almost all the music I have been into. They are so talented, its just insane. Also I touched base with a band called Filter and have been a huge fan and devotee ever since. In 96-97 I got into some up and coming bands wich would later be huge and one of wich has been my number one inspiration for rock and roll. Big Wreck and Mathew Good. Big Wreck is by far the defintion of what Rock and Roll of new should be and could be. And I never miss a show. Though Now disbanded, the main musical source and creator lead singer and guitarist Ian Thornly (god little g) has his own new band called Thornley. And they just kick ass. Not as much as what Big Wreck did but in a newer harder way. Ive typed enough here. But Ill add a few more bands and music likes that have developed my sound. Sevendust, Korn, Cold, Apex Theory, Foo Fighters, Lo Pro, Armin Van Buren (trance music), Cold Play, Never Ending White Lights, Blink 182, And many more. There are just so many good bands that inspire and I would like to thank them all. Thanks for taking the time to read. I know Im long winded.
