"I truly have to say that I was born with a guitar pick in my diaper!"
 says Phase 4 guitarist Brian Barnes.

 


Brian learned at age nine that he had a natural ability to play guitar and
became engulfed by artists like Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen.
Brian formed his first band, StoneCold, when he was seventeen and
by age 20 was touring professionally up and down the entire east and west
coasts of Florida.


"I'm a true road-dog!!" he laughs.




Through the years, Brian has developed a playing style, which has been
 described as a combination of Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and
Eddie Van Halen.




Brian explains, "Hmmmm....scary shit!!  I'm a remnant
 of the 80's/Hairband era and truly believe that the 80's will never die!!"




Presently Brian, along withThe Infamous Bax, James Sciano and David Keith
have reformatted his old band, Ground Zero, into Phase4.




When asked about his outlook on his new band, Brian replies,
"The greatest thing since sliced bread! I've been waiting all my life to have
a band of equally talented musicians and VOILA!! It has finally happened.
ALL THESE GUYS KICK ASS!!..CENTRAL FLORIDA, ARE U READY??"
