my name is jimmy vomvas and i'm a born again also....born again halenite when i was a little boy i was a devout halenite...listened to fair warning in it's entirety once a week...we exchanged presents on edwardmas, january 26th, etc. but then i sorta lost my way...i won't get into the details...but it involved sweep arpeggios. now i'm back in the bosom of edward and feel peace. Fair Warning?  I bowed at the TEMPLE of Van Halen's first album for years....but Fair Warning??? boy, you need an 'intervention' before it's too late! ask any REAL VH fan and they'll tell you FW is the album/tone to end all albums/tones... "dirty movies" "push comes to shove" "hear about it later" (i'm not even going to mention the piece de resistance of mean street and unchained-that's too easy) |

FW is a great album...it's so dark. Sinner's Swing floored me the first time I heard it, same with the intro to Mean Streets...man, that album (and yes, I had the vinyl) brings back some very cool memories.

FW is THE tone, man....every time eddie hits that open G chord on that album, it sounds like a junk yard dog just got punted in the nutz.....lol....meanstreets has it, so does sinner's swing...friggin' excellent..

ok, since everyone else is sharing....here's my story....
My name's Matt Schiariti....i'm a little over 30 years old..youngest of four (by 8, 10 and 11 years)...I have 8 neices and newphews....lol...married for a year and a half and recently found out that there's a shredder junior or shredette on the way (now I'll know who really reads this by how many comments I get about THAT...lol)
I'm an engineer..I work for the government...
let's see...been playing since I was about 15..funnily enough, the guy who sings in my band got me into it and he doesn't play anymore...lol...
never had much luck with bands..there was always a peice missing....and because all of us were generally practical and career minded, college and whatnot was the priority....so, finally after 15 years I'm in a band...and I'm loving it =)
I grew up on rock...my brothers were always listening to Boston, VH, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Styx, Zepplin, Kiss...so that's where I got my rockign nature from I guess...no rap or country in my house..no way, no how...
I got into VH when I was in middle school and shortly after I discovered Iron Maiden and was instantly hooked...I'm about THE biggest maiden fan you'll find....lived and breathed them for over a decade....and I'll tell ya one other thing....you'll know that I'm a TRUE maiden fan because everything after seventh son, with a few exceptions, is complete and utter tripe...lol.that's how I see it....people who like the later albums just cause it's maiden aren't true maiden fans to me....narrow minded, maybe...but that's my story and you can't convince me otherwise =D
people have accused me of sounding like lynch..and to be honest, I don't see it...I just play what I play....I try to play everything balls out..I'm not the best guitar player you'll ever meet, but I'm far from the worst..and you'll never hear me brag...unless I'm just bustin' chops =D
anywho, that's a little about me..
