Name's Allan, but you can call me Big Al. ;-) I'm in college studying environmental health science. I've been playing bass since June 2001, and am totally self taught.

I mainly focus on learning early metallica stuff, i love Cliff Burton's style, RIP - (9/27/86). Metallica is my main influence, tho my dad started me on my metal and hard rock craze with black sabbath, iron maiden, and Led Zeppelin.
