[slipknotmaggot3]

I am a member of Slipknot's Maggot corps (for those of you who don't know, slipknot refers to their fans as maggots) and 3 is the last digit of my number.

 

[bluesblaster]

just the name of a band I was in once some years ago, not very creative but it was all I came up with when it was time to enter a user name, I suppose I could change it but it doesnt really matter that much, this ones as good as any.

 

[Private Notion]

I misheard the lyrics in a really cool Deadsy song, and found out it was actually "private ocean"...so now private notion is my music project name

 

[ZenG]

My full name is Zenhaufteschutzen Glenbokyoopwilt.

 

[Jutsushine]

I try to incorporate many different techniques into my playing, (jutsu is japanese for technique or skill) and I like some brightness in my tone (shine). I'm not a fan of Naruto...

 

[kodiakblair]

Years ago was drunk and recalling the glory days when men were men (hunting mammoth an wrestling bears), there was a guy lived locally had an act with a bear.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed])

and there was a story L Ron Hubbard denied about him wrestling a bear. Anyways my surname Blair sounds like Bear and the Kodiaks are the biggest so that was it kodiakblair.

I wasn't alone my cousin Amanda used careblair and my wife's name was Honey so yeah you guessed it honeyblair

 

[curbowman]

I fell in love with my Curbow, and it was the first and only one in Venezuela during 10 years. So, Curbowman was a way to let others know who I was without writing my name. And that has stuck.

 

[kanonfodr]

It's pronounced Cannon Fodder. I earned it playing paintball - I have the unique ability to intercept incoming fire with my facemask. That's a wonderful sign for guy who had just returned from his first combat tour to Iraq

Peace,
Greg

 

[tedious1]

Back before I straightened up and started flying right (my guitard days) me and the drummer decided all bass players were tedious.

Then I moved to bass, and the rate at which we went through guitards increased. So I've come to the conclusion I may be the tedious one...

 

[JennySuzuki]

Suzuki is one of the most common family names in Japan, like Smith in the US, or Jones in Wales. It also happens to be my mother's maiden name.

Jenny is an affectionate diminutive of Jennifer, which is what's on my birth certificate, though I can't recall the last time someone called me by the full name.

 

[keiththebassist]

How much time do you have?

 

[Bingo]

Dude I grew up with never said much. He would just wait for somebody else to say something smart and then he would point at whoever said it and say "Bingo". It's the old-school verbal equivalent of "+1".

 

[Brother Goose]

My name is Gustav- which folks cant pronounce (flat u like push) and I stopped being Gus after I grew up (Gus is always a cat name) ergo the nickname "Goose"

"Brother Goose" is my stage name and obligation in the fraternal Church of The Nasty Truth

I share silly stories with mixed moral imperatives and a funky spin on bad news.

 

[oddeotek]

I'm an audio tech and, some might say, a little odd...

 

[The Thinker]

My wife says I remind her of the statue, Rodin's "The Thinker."

 

[GIBrat51]

It's what I was/am, and since that year.

 

[theduke1]

John Wayne has been an idol/ hero since I was a young movie goer. Lawman or villan he always did what was right.

 

[Chapbass]

I play two instruments. I'll let you figure out which two they are.

 

[cheapbasslovin]

I don't like to pay money for things. Ever. I love playing basses that don't cost any money. My current bass has run me around $200 and that's including strings and a new varitone; I've owned it for around 4 years. I don't do naughty things to my basses though, that'd be gross.

 

[stratovani]

Back in my exclusively guitar playing days I fell in love with the Fender Stratocaster. The first music forum I joined was the Fender Discussion Group (AKA the FDP), and I needed a username. Thinking back to my youth I remember my parents listening to the music of a bandleader named Mantovani, who played especially schmaltzy music (not that I liked it, but the name stuck with me!). So I combined Stratocaster with Mantovani, hence stratovani!
