RICHARD PEIDRO

Bass

It's been well over 10 years since me and this dame we call 'Music' and I have been together. We've had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day we never go to bed angry. I've spent my entire life living in the south but playing music has afforded me the opportunity to see a lot of new places. When I'm at home, I'm usually playing video games. If you feel like having a bad night, look me up and let's do this. I have a dog that is part wolf, and the fattest cat you've probably ever seen. I've been snowboarding once, and I broke a rib. Life's taught me many lessons, but I'd have to say the most important would be the following: "Fool me once, then shame on me. Fool me twice, then... well just don't fool me!"


















1. What was the single most thing that inspired you to play music?
Before I was even born, I spent a night kicking and screaming inside my mother's belly at a Huey Lewis & the News concert. It's stuck with me ever since. The thing that made me want to take music to the next level was going to my very first local show and seeing guys I knew personally playing on stage. The very next day, I started a band.

2. What is your favorite band and why?
If I absolutely had to pick just ONE, it would be Incubus. I get a hard time for it but their album 'Make Yourself,' lyrically and musically, helped shape the bulk of my adolescent years. It's one album I can listen to and instantly be taken to another time frame of my life.

3. What hobbies do you have when you have time away from the band?
It goes without saying, I am the video game nerd in the band. I will put bills off to make sure I get my yearly Live account renewed. I also spend time with family, friends and my awesome pets!

4. If you could only eat one food the rest of your life what would it be?
Tacos. I would eat them the American way or the Mexican way. I think they might even be more American to me than a hamburger!

5. What is your favorite song to listen to when nobody else is listening - the worst 'guilty pleasure' on your iPod?
It's usually some cheesy song with mass exposure on the radio. I think the last one was 'In My Head' by Jason Derulo. If it's a good song who cares.

6. Money no object: if someone told you had to buy and live in 5 houses in 5 different cities, what cities would you choose?
Atlanta, GA. Sydney, Australia. Long Island, NY. San Diego, CA. And somewhere in Europe!

7. What's the best meal you've ever eaten?
I love food so much I don't think I can narrow it down to just one. I've never eaten at fancy restaurants or anything like that. I get happy when I eat a bowl of cereal.

8. Which one musician - dead or alive - would you like to meet and why?
Dimebag Darrell. He is my true guitar hero. I also feel like the man knew how to party.

9. All-time favorite movie?
Dumb & Dumber.

10. Which of the following do you prefer:
Skiing or Beach: Skiing I guess, I’m afraid of the sun.

Sports Car or SUV: SUV. I roll hard.

Downloads or CD’s: I would rather own the album. However, I am a fan of technology. Downloads are great for finding new artists.

Park or Pool: Pool party!

Morning or Night: Usually Night, which then becomes morning and I'm still awake. So technically it's...night?
Beer or Wine: Beer. We go way back and have a much more complicated relationship.
Movie Theater or DVD’s At Home: I am a movie theater kinda guy!

Flip-Flops or Sneakers: Sneakers for business, flops for party.
Coffee or Tea: Tea, unless I'm doing something JRDR related then it's coffee to make it through.

Pizza or Pasta: Pizza, with pasta on top of it.
