Alex's Bio

I'm known to some as Alex but to most as "That super awesome, ultra sexy, and all around cool guy, who is known to some as Alex." If you wanted the three sentence version of my unbeleivable life tale, read that first sentence again. My interests include playing my guitar ridiculously well, playing my bass ridiculously well, playing video games ridiculously well, and eating chinese food. In addition to music I'm also a big fan of film, theater, and regular bowel movements, but mostly theater. I dislike non dairy creamer, cold toilet seats, unneeded movement, some yankees, poodles, and that fuzzy lint stuff that collects in your pockets I'm not big fan of either.

Some Guy: Hey Alex, what kind of crap do you use?
Me: Well, I use all sorts of crap.

My main axe is a red Ibanez bass which I've rewired for a hotter sound and the only control is a mute switch. I put dunlop straplocks on it. I also have a brown chopshop fretless five string with a warmoth neck, but I don't know who made the body. It's tone doesn't really work with scrum, I think the only time I used it live was when we played at that dumb catholic fest show.
My amp is a hartke 3000 but it's going back to the store. My cab is a Peavey 4x10, which rules.
I haven't used effects in a while but The Baby will return shortly I'm sure. Other stuff includes a red dimarzio cable, a red(notice a patern?)tuner, a peavey mudflap ladies strap and stainless steel ernie ball strings (the best!)

My top 5 favorite video games are:
1. Super Mario Brothers. I challange anyone to a speed run.
2. Earthbound
3. GTA 3: Vice City. "Then we'll hit the phones, really hard with our heads, oh yeah."
4. Metroid. Took me so long...
5. Golden Eye. I can beat anyone with proxies in the facility for serious.

Now My top 5 favorite guitarists:
1. David Gilmour
2. Randy Rhoads
3. Richie Blackmore
4. Stevie Ray Vaughn
5. Tony Iommi
Bassists:
1. Les Claypool
2. Stu Hamm
3. Cliff Burton
4. Geeze
I'm sick of typing so I'm just gonna wrap it up now.

You may be thinking to yourself, how could I ever attain a level of awesome-ness anywhere in the general vacinity of his? Well, the answer to that is you can't because I was born the 4th coolest person ever, right below James Bond, Socrates and Donna Summer. James Bond, if you can recall, was found to be only a fictional charachter sometime in the late 80's and in those toddler years I grew much cooler than Socrates, which left Donna Summer at #1 and me a close second. In the early nighties, Kurt Cobain caused an upset for 3rd, pushing Socrates to 4th, and Jesus rounded up the top 5. I'll get you someday so called Queen of Disco!

I'd be more than happy to talk to you over the old virtual typograph. AIM: AlexHurstIsCool
