"ILL" BILL FRIESE
a.k.a.
HAYWOOD JABLOWME!
I was born in Portsmith, VA. I lived there for two
years and have moved 33 times since. I started playing
trumpet when I was 6 years old, and continued on threw
school playing in various Honor bands. Then came High
School, where my music knowledge truly bloomed. I
played in marching bands, Jazz bands, Classical bands,
as well as a few of the school Choirs such as the
SHOW, Honor, and the Mandrigals Choir. Being a
Preacher's son, I grew up in churches, and of course,
sang in a few church Choirs. Soon after that, I took 3
years of Jazz and music Theory, and was Drum Major for
the marching band in my junior year. After I left High
School, there was somehow a 2 year period where I
didn't make any music. During that time, bands like
White Zombie, Rage Against the Machine, Marilyn
Manson, and Henry Rollins all got my "HARDCORE" fire
thriving for more. At the same time, other bands like
Black Sabbath, Portishead, and Rush fueled my
"MELODIC" spirit. Eventually, the time came where I
couldn't take it anymore and started playing Rock. At
first I wanted to be a Drummer, but being a Singer was
so much cheaper.(being poor all your life influences
you to make decisions like that). I played with two
other bands in St. Louis.(Ten Pound Tampon, and
Tripleclamp) but it really wasn't what I was looking
for. Then came Tryptophane, and let me say.
LONG LIVE
TRYPTOPHANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
