The first three are mildly embarrassing, but when you're twelve and living in the woods of Bumfuck, Wisconsin, you take what you can get. These are in approximate chronological order:

Goo Goo Dolls - meh - 97?
Counting Crows - meh - 99?
Blue Merle - 99
Foo Fighters - 00, 2x
Muse - 00, met Matt Bellamy!
Red Hot Chili Peppers - 00
Bad Religion - 04/05
The Vandals - 04, at Warped Tour
Pennywise - 05
Queens of the Stone Age - 06, in a casino, of all places. Fantastic show.
Social Distortion - 07, meh
People in Planes - 08, lovely, though I was one of maybe 6 people there
Bouncing Souls - 08, meh
Travis - 09, met Fran Healy and Andy Dunlop!

Dying to see someday:
Ash
Supergrass
Kaiser Chiefs
Muse - again, now that they're all theatrical
Travis - would like to see a full electric show!

Argh. I should really move to a city.

Imagine smooth, subtle, seamless transitions from jazz influenced chord structures to riff rock set to a familiar contemporary rock feel with catchy sing song, powerpop, vocal hooks and melodies. Guitar: this is heavily Jazz influenced, with melodic and shred metal tidbits here and there when called for. To get me out of Jazz mode I have to use alternate tunings. "CrowfeatheR" on the guitar is a nuclear-jazz guitarist with a sonic chameleon and multiple personality disorder complex. Every section of every song must have its own sonic principal and style that suits the feel of the music. My favorite guitar sound is from a HALO guitar and an EMG pickup. My primary instrument in the past has been the electric Bass. My greatest influences growing up were John Taylor (Duran Duran), James Jamerson, Bootzilla (that's Bootsy Collins to you), Muzz Skillins (living Color), Doug Pinnick (Kings-X, Pound hound), Chris Squire (YES) and of course Geddy Lee (Rush). Although I have the technical ability for endless masturbatory riffing and blazing runs faster than any guitar player could ever do using a pick, using my "cross finger picking" technique, I chose not to include too much of that in my popular music. I have put most of that behind me and I am trying to loose my musical ego. I am more worried about how things sound other than playing stuff no one else can. My favorite Bass tone is my custom made Bass through a bright, tube preamp with new sparkling Curt Mangan light stainless strings, mmmm, warm, punchy and crunchy. My percussion tracks are a Combination of live drums and percussion and digitally sampled or electronic, drum programming. My favorite drummers are too many to list , but include Morgan Rose (Seven Dust), Danny Carey (TOOL), Sam Mcandless (COLD), Jerry Gaskill (Kings-X) and the creator of the modern drumming style, Neil Peart (Rush). I prefer the sound of Mahogany drum shells, ported bass drum heads, a hard beater and a beater patch.
