Look here, Hudson Valley. I'm tired of answering ads on these pages only to find poseurs, geeks and acoustic folk acts who want me to change my unique playing style to match their style. It's time for a band that is as unique and forceful as I am, and I'm taking no prisoners.

This monumental effort will require the cooperation of a thunderous bass player with the mind and skills to keep this beast of a freight train on its tracks while a talented drummer will unleash an unrelenting hailstorm of destruction down upon his kingdom of percussion. The band will need to be as focused and driven as I am, willing to meet two, perhaps three times a week. When I host a practice session, I treat it like an Ultimate Fighter match, where nobody leaves until someone taps out. If you think you've got the endurance and fire to keep up, then bring your best, but be warned... I don't let up, and I don't want to share a stage with anyone who will.

As you can see from my picture, I wear chain mail to protect my body from the rigors of extreme playing. When you step up on stage with a true performer like myself, it's like stepping into battle, only instead of swords and arrows, we fight with 32nd notes and pinch harmonics. So in a way, the chain mail is largely symbolic, but my legions of fans have come to appreciate and expect it. You may don similar armor, but only if it fits the theme (no hockey masks or umpire's vests).

You are expected to have suitable gear. If you can see the top of your amplifier, don't bother answering this ad. It is expected that you will have a commitment to tone that approaches mine. (would be impossible to exceed, to be quite honest) I have a pedalboard that is ten feet long and would not dare sacrifice a single effect for the sake of portability. My pedals are alphabetized so that I can easily find them in the middle of "battle". Behringer up front, Zoom at the end. When you've been in the business as long as I have, you tend to come up with little time-saving tricks like that.

So that is my decree. I know that many of you will mock my demands and continue posting your offers and requests for lesser musicians. You may continue to carry on at your own leisurely pace, hoping for a shot at a coffee house or open mic night. I will not rest until we have our own stadium on the moon, with amplifiers pointed towards the sky's infinite expanses, so that we may truly rock the galaxy. I wish for you to join me on this epic quest.

Yours in rock

[progrockbass]

My sides hurt....

[DudeistMonk]

Ohh, I see its blocked by work

I wish I could see the picture, gonna have to look when I get home.

[Out_of_Toon]

Hudson Valley be doomed.

I keep imagining him on a horse, and the whole thing reminds me of those fake John Petrucci YouTube videos

EDIT: I'd contact him, I really would. To bad he's too far away. And I would need a 200 string bass for this project.

[Scionreality]

I'm just going to wait and hear what he sounds like in his stadium on the moon.

...the vacuum of the moon.

Well with a 10-foot pedal board who knows what else is in there? That said I can't think of anyone I know who's awesome enough to play with this guy.

[thumpbass1]

I prefer Kevlar body armor as it won't rust when you hose off the blood and gore.

[etoncrow]

Bet he'd fit right in on a Molly Hatchet album cover....

[Marley's Ghost]

Someone must audition for this guy and report back. We need pics too!

[capnsandwich]

I'm out! I can see the top of my rig.

[basskababble]

... and that's how Gwar began.
