Nick Neilson (Fools Paradise ®)

My first guitar was a beat up 30 year old Sears and Roebuck Special that I traded for some cash and a little weed. I taught myself to play on that old beater.

I have always gravitated to Hard Rock and Metal no matter the era. My influences include Tool, The Cult, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Shine Down, Slipknot, Black Sabbath, Clutch and others!

Gibson's are my guitar of choice; I love Mesa Boogie amps and some Marshalls.

A comfortable stage with a good sound man, a rockn' audience, a couple of beers and a stogie... and I'm in heaven!
