EERIK PURDON - BASS

Eerik Purdon Date of Birth: 15/05/1985

Equipment: Ibanez SR1306PM Custom Made & Ibanez SR3006 Prestige, Ampeg SVT-II, SVT810Pro, Boss ODB-3 and other random pedals depending on how experimental mood I am at the given moment.

Musical background: My first musical experiences were with such true heavy metal instruments as trumpet and piano. I started to play bass when I was around 15 years old. At some point I also fiddled a little with guitar but as every decent bass player should, proved to be a failure as a guitarist.

Influences: All time favourite bass players for me would probably be Geddy Lee (for cool lines), Billy Sheehan (for amazing technique) and Jari Kainulainen (for the best bass sound ever).

Now listening:
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Opeth - Ghost Reveries & Blackwater Park
Manitou - No Signs of Wisdom
Amoral - Reptile Ride

Best gig seen: Hopefully Rush 2007.

Dream: To conquer Wacken once more!

Favourite food/drink: pizza / König Ludwig Weiss.

Favourite bassline: Iron Maiden - Revelations by Steve Harris.

Hobbies: Omnium Gatherum.

Quote: "How could you?! Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain Whatshisname? We live in a society of laws! Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Makes sound effects and laughs. Where was I? Oh yeah! Stay out of my booze." -Homer Simpson
