PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Hired gun JASON CHRISTOPHER (Prong, Ministry, Stone Sour, Sebastian
Bach) has spent his musical career as an unsung hero, playing an
important live role for many influential bands and artists who need a
bassist or guitarist. Jason is currently playing bass on tour for New
York metal icons, Prong but many Corey Taylor fans will know him best as
Corey’s sidekick for most of his solo acoustic shows.
Jason’s a left-handed guitarist who plays a regular guitar upside down
and back to front. Not being able to afford a left handed model in his
teenage years, it’s testament to his tenacity that he made do, ‘figuring
it out for himself’. Not only a gifted musician, Jason has turned his
hand to writing about his life and experiences of ‘making it’ in the
industry. The first instalment of his engaging work has become ‘The
Rogue To Nowhere’, part one of a three-part novella series documenting
tales of growing up in Woodstock, NY and moving to Los Angeles, CA in
search of his musical dream. After arriving penniless in Hollywood and
eventually landing a job working at the Viper Room, Jason’s tales of
addiction and desperate measures make for an un-put-down-able read.
Hollywood scriptwriter, Tom Kapinos (creator/writer of TV mega-hit
‘Californication’) tells us, “[Jason] has a story to tell. He’s been to
hell and back. He’s lived the rock n’ roll dream and seen it turn into
a nightmare, but he’s come through the other side. I’ve devoured just
about every rock memoir you can think of. This one’s different and it
deserves your attention.”Jason tells us, “Did you ever want something so bad that you would leave everything behind to get it? This is the story of that… I hope you
enjoy it.”
