Ha! I thought I was the only person who ever said this...

My first band was called Roadkyll. I did not name the band. They had drums (and a guy to play them), a guitar (and a guy to play it) and a bass, but nobody to play the bass. So they called me and asked me if I'd like to be in a band. The drummer, who was a friend of mine, called and said "hey, listen to this" and then set the phone down and they proceeded to play their first original song, entitled Armadillo 9000. Then he picked the phone back up and asked if I wanted to be their bass player. This is how I became a musician.

We were together for maybe a year, year and a half. There were only two original songs. Armadillo 9000 was the stupid one. Here is the "good" one. (note the quotes)

Mostly we played Metallica (up to and inlcuding AJFA). But also some Slayer, Anthrax, Sepultura, Coroner, and we even played Crazy Train. I have no idea whose idea it was to play Crazy Train. We were reasonably tight and skilled at playing speed metal by the end of our time together.

Then the drummer and I quit and went on to form a new band that was just the two of us (with occasional guest vocalists), called Anal Pope. That band had a few songs from about 1991 to 1993. All originals. A lot of terrible, terrible industrial-metal stuff. Yep.

o snap

my first band was called sodapop (not named by me) and was cross between early cure and early magic dirt (magic dirt are an australian band who used to be good back in the days when they ripped off sonic youth). I was 16 at the time but I could have done much worse as far as influences go.

basically we had these quiet cure verse bits then loud choruses with lots of feedback etc. music was ok, but the drummer was pretty sloppy and I was really bad at singing.

This is just as good a Fyddlestyx, but not as good as Jackyl.

first band i was in.

first band i started.

Malignant Growth.

I played in an aspiring-to-hair-metal band called Overdrive. We did a Whitesnake cover.

The band was fronted by brothers who were fraternal twins. They were Episcopalians. We used to get dragged to church if the band practiced at their house overnight on Saturday. It fucking sucked.

One of the twins is a youth minister outside of Denver now, according to google. He is active in the movement to remove homosexuals from the Episcopalian church. He has written the worst sermons I have ever read. They aren't particularly hateful, just incredibly dumb.

Misakatonic (sp?) Marching Band, a Zeppelin-inspired rock trio where i played guitar. we only had maybe 5 practices, but we managed to record a handfull of songs on a boombox. bassist was a 250 pound hippie (keep in mind we were middle schoolers..) from jazz band who played through an amp that wasn't properly grounded. the drummer was a straight 'outta 'Dazed and Confused' stoner with a drumset that looked like station wagon fake wood side paneling. i played lots of improvised solos through my Squier strat into a 10 watt solid state fender combo.

i left the band pretty quickly because i discovered punk rock!
