I have known every member of the band since we were all about 15 years old, trying to start a scene. By the time that Skeletal Earth was formed, the scene gelled and was a hidden treasure of scenes of the era. At one time or another, I was in bands or jammed with the various members of Skeletal Earth. I can say first hand that they lived what they portrayed. <br /><br />Here's a brief profile from my perspective of each member: Jared, the bassist, lived a very environmentally conscious life and was, in my opinion as a bassist, one of the best musicians that I have had the pleasure of not only hearing, but watching. Eric, the guitarist, had a very mild mannered profile until he picked up a guitar and then there was like a metamorphosis into someone who could create a sound that gave feeling that you were being run over by a bulldozer. And then there was Travis, the vocalist. Wow... he was everything that you hear in his music. He was one of the most friendly, caring people who I have ever known, yet at the same time had an almost Jeckyl and Hyde personality when he was on stage. A masterful performer, indeed! One show, the stage came apart during a song and Travis fell about 5 feet onto concrete, but as he crawled from beneath the scaffolding of the stage, he didn't miss a lyric! As far as Skeletal Earth's drummers go, there were 3 that I can recall, each brought a thunderous rhythm that almost blew you to the back of the venue.<br /><br />An amazing experience to witness live, and the ability to capture that sound in studio, Skeletal Earth will most likely forever rank in my top tier of bands.Donald Dunlaphttp://www.donalddunlap.comnoreply@blogger.com
