John first played guitar at age 8 when he noticed his sister (who was taking organ lessons at the time) was allowed to stay up past her bed time to practice. He soon dropped it when his plan failed. At age 12, he began playing again when he was invited into the band of his friend Kevin Moore, who would later become the first keyboardist of Dream Theater. John began to practice in earnest whilst exercising physically. He was a largely self-taught guitarist who developed his skills through attempts to match the skill of his idols, who included Steve Morse, Steve Howe, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Al Di Meola, Alex Lifeson, Dave Murray, and Allan Holdsworth. He has jokingly referred to his guitar idols as "the Steves and the Als".

| | 1st Video Game System you ever Played | | Just out of curiousity, what was the 1st video game system you have ever played in your life? For me, I remember there were 2 systems that I played, the NES and the Atari 2600. The NES still works after about going to be 18 years next year. It's really something to have something you've had since your childhood continue right now as I am older. I still got other systems as well but these ones actually hold a special place with me as they were the symbol of when I started video game playing.I did move up to play other systems like the PS1, Genesis, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube to name a few. Some systems much like the Genesis, SNES, and N64 I ended up getting a bit later when they stopped making new games for them. For some reason, I want to get the Jaguar just for curiousity reasons and also the Sega Saturn. I think to be honest, I've become somewhat of a collector but I actually play the systems.As far as hand-helds go, my 1st was the Game Boy. It was a big deal when I got it and I still got the original to say the least.I think I'm a bit of a classic gamer more so than anything else.What was your 1st system that you played video games with for the 1st time ever? | |
