There is not to much one can say about Bruce Miller, unless you know him very well. You can relate to him by his music though. It seems that Bruce puts a little piece of himself in the music he plays. When you listen to a SAVANT song you can tell that the songs have a secret, personal meaning to him. Its as if the music is the key that unlocks the steel door that hides his soul.
Bruce is a very accomplished guitarist. He has the abilty to play many styles of music, from Mozart to Metallica. One moment he will be playing bone jarring rhythms that smash you in the face like a steel fist, and the next moment he is playing a soft, melodic melody that touches ones soul. In SAVANT Bruce plays rhythm as well as sharing lead responsibilities with close friend Pete Crecco. Also he does all the lead vocals for the band. However when asked, Bruce will always consider himself a guitarist not a singer.
When the band first formed they had intended on finding a singer, and Bruce would just play guitar. That never happened. Bruce believes that singers who just sing don't really relate to the rest of the band and usually cause rivilries and break ups. The rest of the band agreed and coaxed Bruce into taking on the vocals. That was a smart move for the band. Millers vocals fit perfect with the music SAVANT plays. Sometimes they are dark and haunting, sometimes angry and full of rage, other times soft and thoughtful.
Miller has a variety of influences, the most profound is Metallica. He also was influenced by Iron Maiden, The Police, The Allman Brothers, Lynard Skynard and Man O' War. His two favorite classical composers are Mozart and Paginini. And he also likes some country music, like Charles Daniels and David Allen Coe.
Bruce's favorite pastime besides playing guitar is riding his Harley. Miller fits the role of a biker more then he fits the typical stereotype of a metal musician. He can be found on his bike just about year round. And he frequents many of the bike rallies and biker bars in the metropolitian area.
LIVE TO RIDE......RIDE TO BE FREE......FTW
