Here is a vid a friend made years ago, kinda funny with our hair and lennon glasses but it was like 93 94 or something. Our band was called PENTACLE. Which later turned into Unsound Mind.
Thought I would share this little diddy.
It will make you guys laugh.
And here is a solo I did when I was a big time wasteoid partying and playing gigs all the time. The guitar I play was painted by my father though so it has a special memmory. And the guitar was stolen from a show later on.
Anyway I thought it would be fun to show you guys a piece of my past, bad or good hahahaaa.

May we find God through Flamenco instead of Angels and Demons
haha....now i know where all these experimental flamenco influences come from.
I also was in to heavy metal just as you. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Patrick Rondat, etc......these guys were my Paco de Lucias at that time
I still have a plectrum from Joe Satriani. He threw it towards the audience at the end of the concert and i was the lucky one who could pick it up from the floor and after that i always played with this pick. It was magic
I had a nice Ibanez E-Guitar and a very big amp from Marshall and i used to turn up the Vol. very loud when practicing and my parents always went crazy..
And yes, many CDs.....but i gave all of them for free to one of my friends
In a previous life (and I'm only 24:-)) I used to play in a punckrock band. We toured a lot and it was great fun. I didn't always liked what we did musicly but nobody cared, ...hell I even once signed a girls naked breast...(I'm very proud of that one:-)).....of course that was due to my good looks....altough I was a great bassvirtuozo. (I was a great rancid fan ...someone??)
But great playing, I never played a Eguitar solo that fluently
But even than I was fascinated by flamenco. I just never tought I was gonna be able to actually play all that.
