abit late to this

So I'm a bit late to this but I only just saw it and I'm only now starting to be hella active on TB

Anyway my names Riley and I'm local to Townsville, Australia.

I began my musical taste when I was 6 years old constantly messing around with my Grandmothers Cassio Piano and slowly moving to playing my Grandfathers acoustic guitars. Did I have any idea what I was doing? No not really, but it helped to shape my interest in being a musician. When I turned ten my mother signed my up to participate in my schools percussion program, again, had no idea what I was doing but helped to give me my understanding of Rhythm. Finally in September of 2015 I picked up my mothers Yamaha RBX170 (Black and Red-Sunburst) and looked up videos on how to play bass and from there would completely teach myself the greatest instrument known to man.

My Main Genres are Thrash and Nu-Metal, coming from a Metallica/Slipknot house hold I grew up worshiping the Great Het and Corey Taylor. Only after I began to learn bass did I truly fall in love with Paul Gray and Cliff Burton's bass playing. The first song I successfully learnt back to front was Metallica's *Fade to Black* and would soon learn the whole Album back to front (Call of Ktulu was the best thing I ever learnt)
