NAME:
David
T. Chastain
PLAYING (YEARS): Somewhere around
30! Time flies when you are rocking!!
STYLE: All it seems. Metal, Hard
Rock, Fusion, Blues Rock, Acoustic and Improvisational. All with the
David T. slant to it.
GEAR: Karmer guitars through either
a Marshall Valvestate with Marshall cabs or recently I have been using
a POD for recording.
ENDORSEMENTS: Kramer guitars and
Dimarzio pick ups although on the new Kramer guitars they have quadrails
and seymour duncan pick ups.
PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Over 50 Cds released is my main accomplishment.
(http://www.leviathanrecords.com/chasdisc.htm) Have toured around the
world and of course extensively in the US. (Everywhere from someone's
garage to the major arenas) Appeared in nearly every rock/metal magazine
around the world. (Except Rolling Stone!!) Video aired on MTV numerous
times in the 90s. Owner/operator of 2 record companies. Producer for
bands such as Firewind, Vainglory, Kenziner and others. Cool instructional
video. Never had to wear a suit and tie to work. Never ran over a cat
in my car.(My main goal in life to accomplish.)
CURRENT & UPCOMING PROJECTS: Next up is the new SOUTHERN
GENTLEMEN "Double Your Pleasure" In the can and ready for release over
the next 18 months: Chastain New instrumental Zanister
FAVORITE GUITARIST: Too many to mention but some that come
to mind are Holdsworth, Uli Jon Roth, Rhoads, Trower, Hendrix, Billy
Gibbons, Duane Allman, Jeff Kollman, Stevie Ray, etc.
MOST UNDERATED PLAYERS: Joe Stump, Corbin King, Jeff Kollman,
Uli Jon Roth, Holdsworth and Angus Young.
BEST MUSICIAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN: I guess Holdsworth. Hard
to say. I don't go out much anymore!
FOUR WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBES WHAT YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS IN YOUR PLAYING:
Original, classy and heavy.
YOUR HERO: No real heroes but I guess Hugh Hefner if he didn't
run cigarette ads in Playboy.
ULTIMATE GOAL: To be happy and to be able to continue to
be involved in the music I believe in whether as a player, producer
or record company.
