[edit] Music
QBall started listening to music at the age of 12, when he bought an album by The Prodigy, The Fat Of The Land. During 1997 and 1998 QBall was mostly into electronica and hip-hop (Cypress Hill, House Of Pain, Liroy) until he came across Nirvana's album, Nevermind. After that thrilling experience, he started listening to rock music in all its diversity (e.g. Metallica, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit) and before finishing primary school he started playing the guitar and learned Nirvana and Metallica songs. Around 2000, he got interested in classic rock (e.g. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix) and about three years later he started listening to progressive rock and fusion (King Crimson, Yes, Mahavishnu Orchestra). His interests in jazz music have continued to expand ever since. Moreover, despite his obvious love for rock music, he is open-minded about other genres. His favourite non-rock artists include Moby, Fatboy Slim, SiStars and Erykah Badu.
QBall's current favourite artists also include:
- At The Drive-In
- Jeff Beck
- Jimi Hendrix
- Incubus
- Isis
- The Mars Volta
- Mastodon
- Jaco Pastorius
- Pink Floyd
- Porcupine Tree
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Tool
- Santana
- Weather Report
- Yes
His favourite guitarists are:
The most important album in his life (besides Nevermind, which introduced him to rock music) is The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd.
QBall openly declares his hatred towards French popular music. He is not a fan of classical music or techno, either. He is also very sceptical of the music of the 1980s at large.
[edit] Sports
QBall doesn't do any sports. Watching football matches remained one of his favourite types of entertainment up to the age of 17. He also used to watch NBA matches back in his teens (his favourite team were the Chicago Bulls). As regards football, he still has his favourite teams, which are Real Madrid and Widzew Lodz. He used to be a Legia Warsaw fan, but he changed his mind after their loss to Widzew, 1:2 in 1996. Despite his contempt for FC Barcelona, he cannot help saying that Ronaldinho is currently the best football player in the world. During his first year at university, QBall played volleyball (which is now his favourite team sport) at PE classes.
