I like this far better than I like the original. Props to Madonna for reinventing herself again! I never liked the glamorous look she had back in the 80’s but this look is better for someone that’s 56!. But hey, Madonna, you got the bucks, fix those teeth! OUCH! You could shred a poor guy!
Just to name a Few A.D.D.’s influences are SevenDust,Heart and Everything in between. We love and appreciate all styles of music. Really think it helps us to be creative in our own writing process. My influences personally as a Drummer include Morgan Rose(Sevendust) Vinnie Paul (Pantera,Damage Plan,Hell Yeah) Charlie Benante(Anthrax) and John Bonham. I’m a Heavy hitter as Well as a Showman and they all influence and inspire me to play.
Do you have any advice for someone just getting started in the music business?
Not to let any rough patches discourage you. It is a rough business but stay true to what you believe in and follow your Dream.
What piece of advice did you ignore that you wish you hadn’t?
Wouldn’t say ignore, we may have taken a different approach in the past, but everyday you learn something new. It’s all a learning curve.
Do you have a greatest gig story or worst gig horror story you’d like to share?
In 2009 we shared the stage with Korn,Chevelle,and Halestorm for Rockstock in Iowa at a Sports Stadium, and the Crowd was absolutely intense and amazing.
Do you have any other hobbies other than playing music? Collect stamps? Collect hats from off the side of the road? Draw pictures of peckers or boobs? Make sock puppets? Sit in the dark and eat Cheetos?
We all pretty much throughout the years have been super passionate and driven to trying to pursue our dream and passion for music.
What do you think about the current music scene or lack of? Care to address that?
Definitely! All bands working together to create a buzz and promote each other. At the end of the day everyone is trying to reach the same goals to having a long term career so if we all work together to achieve their goals it will be a recipe for success. Do you think reality shows like American Idol, X factor and The Voice have helped or hurt the music industry as a whole?
If anything definitely helped inspire all musicians and artists to want to take their talent to the next level.
What is your opinion of unauthorized music downloads?
Unauthorized downloads definitely effect album sales. Support starving artists and purchase their music through the appropriate channels.
Tell us something about each of your band members that we wouldn’t expect to hear.
We all act silly at times. Do you know what a vinyl album is and have your ever purchased one? If so, what was it?
Yes I do but unfortunately don’t have any. You’re marooned on an island with Justin Bieber. Do you choke him out the first night in his sleep or what?
Definitely avoid him. What is your opinion of Miley Cyrus?
I think she is talented, I believe everyone has the right to express the way they want to dress and use their creative abilities in anyway they choose.
CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME A.D.D. SONG “I REGRET”!
Which would you rather hear in concert? Lip syncing or real vocals?
Real Vocals Definitely! Who, or what, is the next big thing?
Not really sure hoping our band A.D.D. Definitely want to make some noise in 2015!
One artist you can’t get enough of and can’t live without is…
We can’t get enough of Sevendust because they are super tight and melodic.
Confession time. Share a secret about yourself.
Not really a confession but I’m a Neat Freak.
Favorite movie of all time and why.
Good Fellas because I enjoy mobster movies and this one has some comedy in
it.
Our last question is called “Shout It Out Loud”. It’s were you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about. So go ahead and “SHOUT IT OUT LOUD”!
Truly believe that we need to build back up some really great rock station in every city so that all the bands pushing their singles that are touring have a Great station to promote and help album sales as well as people discovering all the new bands coming out to help support the Music Scene and build it back up and strong.
Upcoming Show Dates:
Fri. Mar. 27th – Mojoes – Joliet, IL – HEADLINE CD Release show
Saw this in the news feed. I guess every country in the world has a “got talent” show. America, Britain, Asia and I don’t know who else. Check out these girls covering Tom Jones “Sex Bomb”. They are from the Philippines. So what you think?
It seems as if the whole world has gone mad. We have Police Officers, that are hired to “Protect and Serve” shooting innocent people including the most recent guy in the back and planting what appears to be a taser on him. We have kids shooting other kids in schools. We have adults that can’t “cope” wipe out entire families and then themselves. Mothers drowning the very babies they gave birth to or starving them to death and then freezing them in deep freezers. We have people in the name of religion cutting non believers heads off and putting it on the web for all to see. We have “religious” people destroying thousands of year old relics in the name of “Idol worshiping”. We have race wars starting back up when we should all be of “one”. Our hands and words should be building up, not tearing down one another. We are over medicating our kids and ourselves. We say our kids are “too hyper” and they need to medicated. Seen and not heard is a popular outdated adage that has come back. I know people that medicate their pets. We have people that have fought for decades for tolerance that can’t accept tolerance when its asked of them. We have allies that we are turning our back on. Nation against Nation. Country against Country. Neighbor against Neighbor. Cyber bulling.
The list goes on and on. It seems times are more scary now than what I have read about during the cold war. Any answers or suggestions? How can we reset all this? Or can we?
Who would have guessed that most stolen phones end up in China? Not me. But something like 80% percent that are stolen do. So the story below follows a guy that luckily? or was it fate that had his iPhone stolen in a bar in New York. He tried to call it but it only went to voice mail so he gave up on it and got another one. However, apparently the thief didn’t turn off iCloud so his new phone started receiving updated photos of the person that had to the phone!

an excerpt:
About a year later…
I’m sitting on my couch with some friends going through my photo stream on my new phone. That’s when I see a ton of pictures I didn’t take, most memorably about 20 selfies of some dude and an orange tree. Hilarious and scary.
I obviously freak out, show everyone the pictures, and for an hour we all speculate about what the fuck is going on with my phone. We come up with a bunch of theories that basically revolve around crossing iCloud photo streams, North Korea hackings, and hauntings. My phone is possessed.
