Priapism (heavy/thrash metal) 1990-1996. Discography: Prepare To Qualify (1990), 218 Hell St. (1993), Chug (1996; unfinished). [All music and lyrics copyright(CP)1996 SaberScorpX]<br /><br />Musical Influences: Ironically, my parents; never allowing me to play drums in the house as a kid only served to perpetuate my passion. Many bands: old Van Halen, Motley Crue, Anthrax, Testament, Slayer, Type O Negative<br /><br />Current Set-Up: 12-piece double-kick Yamaha. Sabian cymbals. Silverfox drumcorps sticks<br /><br />Most Memorable Gig: Straightjacket's debut was sponsored by a local radio station (KCQQ-FM, Quad Cities). Our first gig included a limo ride and live broadcast. The crowd was spilled out onto the street, greeting us with cheers, posters, the works. It was wild. Like the Beatles coming to America. I was signing drumsticks for a hour after that show<br /><br />Most People Don’t Know: I’m a former bouncer, powerlifter, and personal trainer. I used to deadlift and squat over 700 lbs. I played the bad guy in a locally produced B-flick thriller called 'Noises'. And if you saw Buzz Lightyear strutting around Navy Pier a few summers ago at a Toy Expo, that was me<br /><br />Extracurricular Activities: NASCAR/IRL and astronomy are the mentionable ones. I have a passion for the night sky, and was given namesake of the Lunar phase phenomenon known as Saber's Beads<br /><br />Current State Of Mind: Under Construction<br /><br />Goals: More studio work and touring. Drum/cymbal endorsements. Playgirl (if they asked me nice). Then ride the space shuttle and retire as a sheik. Nothing too outrageous ;)<br /><br /><br /><strong>http://www.myspace.com/saberscorpx</strong><br /><br /><br />*****<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5156897451647026408-3414393419556702890?l=saberdrumz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephen Saber (SaberScorpX)noreply@blogger.com
