Music

One of my favourite bands is Guns N'Roses, I'm a huge fan of Axl Rose (seen below as he appeared in 1989). Aside from his current dreadlocks I always liked his style. It's to bad he can't work things out with the original band members to get a new album out, he's an amazing singer. In Nov 2006 I finaly got to see Axl and the current Guns N' Roses band perform in Ottawa. It was an awesome show.

Here's another cool picture of Axl from the cover of Spin Magazine, July 1999 (but the picture is from the 1980s).

During the summer of 2006 I saw another one of my favourite artists/groups, KC and the Sunshine Band, when they played the Ottawa Blues Festival. (KC is seen below, c 1970s) It was really awesome to see KC live on stage! I wonder what would happen if Axl and KC teamed up to write some tunes!?! :)

One of my other favourite CD's is "The Real Thing" by Faith No More with lead singer Micheal Patton. Patton is a super talented vocal artist who has gone on to create a wide range of music beyond the Alt-rock days of FNM. (I doubt that I'll ever get to see him in concert though!) Here is a picture of him from the official Faith No More web site and the link to the site: www.fnm.com

Movies

My favourite Movie is Clash of the Titans starring Harry Hamlin and featuring the creature effects by Ray Harryhausen. The Muppet Movie is a close second (a classic in my opinion), followed by Superman Returns staring Brandon Routh (I'm looking forward to the next Superman movie!!!). Some other favourites are Pirates of the Caribbean with Orlando Bloom and Jonny Depp, A Knights Tale with Heath Ledger (see my tribute page), The Crow with Brandon Lee, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the original Star Wars trilogy (before Star Wars was ruined).

TV Shows

Needless to say, my list of favourite TV Shows includes The Muppet Show. I am also a big fan of Happy Days, Stargate SG1, The Crow TV series, The Dukes of Hazzard, and The A-Team.
