About Me
Hello and greetings to all you wonderful metalheads. Pleased to meet you.
Here's a brief synopsis about me.
My name is Jamie and I come from the North West of England, UK. I am a copywriter with a Diploma in Journalism. I have drifted in and out of various careers over the years, and even had a foolish dalliance with the insane corporate world. But never again!
I have a passion for retro fiction and collect such pulp stuff like early 1970's biker novels from NEL. (New English Library). In fact, my whole lifestyle revolves around a predilection for the past. I respect such bands as Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Saint Vitus; and I'm glad that bands like Orchid, Electric Wizard and Uncle Acid are carrying the tradition on. I've been in love with hard rock for as long as I can remember. I avoid the mainstream and the mediocre that has the audacity to call itself rock. And alternative rock is a 'cop-out' term.
I'm a 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' sort of guy. I still play bass, although sadly, I no longer gig. I still indulge a few jammimg sessions to help keep my hand in.
Gear:
2001 Fender Precision Bass (Olympic White)
1970 Fender Precision Bass (Sunburst)
'57 reissue Fender Precision Bass (Black)
HIWATT B300 Basshead 4x10 cab / 1x15 cab.
That's me in a nutshell. If you're passing by, just say hello
