I've been playing for quite a while and used to tour in the 80's... Looking for singer and drummer into doing:Halen, Priest, Ozzy, Crue, AC/DC, Nugent, Alice in Chains, etc...
I've toured the east coast and played a ton of clubs out here and Manhattan. Opened up for Zebra, Good Rats, Ruff Kut, Southside Johnny, etc... before becoming the main act. I practice 4-6 hours a day and have figured out a bunch of the old tunes again practically note for note as well as writing my own material(sans lyrics). If interested e-mail me at kcc83@optonline.net I can set up rehearsal space in my basement! Still got the look and the physique.
Here are 10 simple tunes to start with and then we'll get down to the real crazy stuff if you can handle these:
1. You shook me all night long- AC/DC 2. Back in Black- AC/DC 3. Ain't Talkin' Bout love- Van Halen 4. Beautiful Girls- Van Halen 5. Another Thing Comin'- Judas Priest 6.Man in The Box- Alice in Chains 7. Tush - ZZ Top....but....my metal version 8. Crazy Train- Ozzy 9. Panama- Halen 10. I Hate Everything About You- 3 Days Grace

Thank you John for your fine critique. I need that. A little about me. My wife bought me a guitar in Dec. of '06 for Xmas and I haven't stopped playing since. I practice from 6-8 hours a day and i'm prolly putting too much effort into scales and arpeggios hence the speed! Taste comes after about 15 minutes of rehearsal when we're all warmed up and I mellow out! I'm sorry if it seems I have a big ego but if you knew me, you'd think I was this little mouse. It's just that I'm so excited at what I've accomplished in such short time that I like to document my progression. The vids you see are when my wife comes down in the beginning of rehearsal to catch a quick flick of me...not always a speed demon. As a Matter of fact, I've got most of the leads down to my list of songs note for note...The clips you see are just me screwing around having fun quick improvising!
