Musician

The Resume

    (March 15, 1968- )
    Guitarist/songwriter for heavy metal band, Iced Earth

Why he might be annoying:

    He has many tattoos.
    He injured some of his vertebrae due to years of intense live performances.
    He went to Catholic school as a teenager, and in an interview with Metal Edge magazine, admitted he was a 'full blown Satanist' when he was 15.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is an excellent guitarist and talented songwriter.
    He was inspired by bands such as Kiss, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath, plus classic 80s thrash such as Slayer and Metallica.
    Despite Iced Earth's constant lineup changes, he still remains as one of the only original members.
    When he attended Catholic school, a teacher dragged him into a bathroom and shoved a bar of soap in his mouth simply because he had asked a question challenging the teacher's lessons.
    He feels the Christian faith should not push it's views on others.
