[edit] Johnny "Rocket" Palmieri
John first picked up the guitar when he was 13, and has been obsessed with playing, learning, and listening ever since. His biggest influences include, Metallica, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The cousin of Groovy Lemon Pie band drummer Vic, Johnny was asked to join the band at the tender age of 15, where he started as a bass player. Later the band decided that John would be more valuable as a guitarist (either that or his bass skills were questionable "NOT").
Johnny mainly relies on a Les Paul Standard Gold Top, a black '72 Fender Strat, and a Marshall JCM 900, Mesa Triple Rec half stack and Fender Vibrosonic Reverb to get his point across. Currently Johnny is studying business at Bentley College, in hopes of some day working for a major record label, or starting his own. He also plans on attending Berklee for music business and theory classes, in hope of getting a better understanding of the music industry and of progressing as a player.
The members of Groovy Lemon Pie have had great influence on Johnny as a player, listener, and performer. He hopes to have the opportunity to work with the band on new originals, bringing his own ideas to the table.
[edit] Mr Sinister
John started Mr. Sinister while a junior at Bentley College. While there he hosted Shark Sandwich with Andy Bajt. Andy was one of the founding members of Mr Sinister. Today the band is Johnny Palmieri (guitar), Costas (drums), and Gianfranco (bass). [[1]]
