One of my few (ha) character flaws is that I am a walking contradiction. My opinion of everything changes constantly. This is probably due to my easy going nature. But it’s also the way I take in life, I always try to enjoy everything. Sometimes the contrasts are a little to hard to enjoy but that doesn’t mean I might not like it the next time. I think that’s how I’m able to keep writing music after all these years. I’m able to contradict my musical tastes constantly. That’s why I listen to as much classical music and opera as I do Slayer. It all depends on your mood.

Jan 23 “Heavy Metal Nice Guy”
Well back to the heavy metal comedy songs again I guess. As soon as I heard this riff with the drums and the synth I thought “I try to be a gangsta but I’m a heavy metal nice guy”.
That’s how it was born. I speak from experience on this one as well. I used to be a heavy metal guy through my teens and even had hair down to my waist for a while. However, my tastes for music have always been all over the place. Which led me to be a rap producer in Athens, Georgia for about five years.
