So this guy isn't a big Nirvana fan...

Ryan Patrick Guidry (February 2, 1978- )

Ryan can play seven Moody Blues albums, chronologically, from start 
to stop, on his guitar, in one sitting, allotting the exact length of 
time between tracks, and allowing for the time it takes to flip the 
record and even change the record out, which would include returning 
the previous album to its proper sleeve and not scratching the 
anticipated album with the needle.

You see, while most children were falling asleep to the soft nuzzle 
of a Care Bear or Cabbage Patch Kid, Ryan's face was hard-pressed up 
against a Days of Future Passed 8-track, or was it In Search of the 
Lost Chord?

(from The Scattered Pages website - Probably a "Can Utility and the 
Coastliners" connection there too)

Prior to Scattered Pages, three of the band members (including Guidry) 
were in Deadwood Forest.  2 albums, both with a lot of tron.  The first 
album ("Deadwood Forest") is more Beatles/psych sounding...with lots of 
organ and a bit a down South feel...  <big generalization coming> kind of 
like if the Allman Brothers went on a Moodies/spacey Floyd/Krimson long 
weekend listening binge, then bought a tron and used it.  The second album 
("Mellodramatic") is produced by Mattias of Anglagard, and is in much more 
of a modern electronic prog meets classic symphonic prog style, yet still 
has a bit of that good old boy quality around the seams.  The first is 
good, and worth having for the handful of long tracks; the second is 
fabulous and an essential "tron" album IMO...if you like that kind of 
blood-red dripping oozing goozing over-the-top "tron", that is ;-)
