No One Cares To Understand Who is the Meat, And Who is The Butcher.

Who is the Butcher? I am the Fucking Butcher.


I can say there has been two MAIN influences in my guitar playing, there has been many guitar players who have inspired me, but only two who have had major impacts on my guitar playing and writing.

One being Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, with out listening to a Rage album and hearing A guitar player try to mimic a DJ and synth only with a guitar and amp? It was mind boggling. Tom (Morello) is the reason i picked up a guitar in the first place.

The second guitar player is Justin Beck, From Glassjaw.

I first heard "Everything you need to know about silence" early in my high school years. I heard a guitar player, who was Todd Weinstein, and something else over the guitar playing, sort of like a robot playing a guitar making it with crazy noises and sounds. And that was Justin Beck. Since i had just a great appreciation for Tom Morello's style, once i heard Justin Beck it was enough for me. Justin Beck made me want to start writing, make music, and make music that i liked. Glassjaw is a Band from Long Island, New York with a hip hop influence who started the whole "post hardcore" sound with heavy riffs, melodic singing and screaming, and ambient sounds all in one. Many bands followed after, but never like glassjaw, or even close, ever. period. I can say ever so homo-ly that glassjaw changed my life, and i hope this is a good example of why.


I know its labeled as Indie, but what are you gonna do. If anything, glassjaw doesnt have a label.

p.s. more post coming soon, lots of funny videos and some stuff from NAMM and cool new apparel that i found.
