This is me, Rich. I am both the lead and rhythm guitarist of Dark. My best lead environment is blues based scales. My best friend (and brother-in-law), Chris was the the one who taught me how to play guitar and for that I owe him. He also Co-wrote "Refuge of the Weak". I've been playing guitar for about 5 years now. I put the original Dark together in 1996, and then re-assembled it in the summer of 97. Its been rough getting where we are now, but soon (I'm hoping) things will either get easier or better. I'm a beginning Computer Programer with talent in Computer Aided Visual Editing and sound editing (hint, hint BLIZZARD), and an IRC addict. My musical influences include: pre-LOAD Metallica, post-hanger-18 Megadeth, Bush, COC, Sepultura, Pantera, Offspring,Pantera and im really getting into Infernal.
