In a world filled with post-grunge sounds and many one-hit wonders, there will come a sound from the depths of the genius mind which will arise and throw off the chains of crappy bubble gum pop music and replace in the void a sound so well constructed and imaginative, that oneself can drown in the music. This will be Anastassia Skye, a neo-classical rock band, influenced by the likes of Monster Magnet, Ulrich Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen and above all, Scorpions.

"And what is the average wind speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" you might ask yourself. And then you might also ask, "What is Anastassia Skye?" Well, I'll tell you... {singing}"He's going to tell, he's going to tell..."

Not like that!!! Not like that!!!
Anastassia Skye is a conceptual band I have at the moment. Currently I have written about 13 songs with potential to be completed. One song which I have named "Katzenjammer" will be more like a blues song, but the rest will tend to be more of a blend between strong rhythm parts, blues and classical scales. The guitars I am currently using are a Montclair electric guitar (I've never seen another Montclair anywhere) and a Vantage electric bass (the body is deep blood red). I hope to eventually get a Fender Stratocaster guitar for lead guitar work, and for rhythm guitars I'd like to get a Les Paul and Flying V (both made by Gibson).
UPDATES
I renamed a song which used to be called "Just Leave Me Alone", and now the new name is "Power Trip". I threw away the old rhythm part during the verses and invented a new one which is in it's embryonic stages right now.
MUSICAL INFLUENCES
My primary influence is the band Scorpions. I listen to that band more than all other music combined. Also I'm influenced by Ulrich Roth, Monster Magnet, ZZ Top, and a bit from other bands. Lately I've begun listening to Yngwie Malmsteen, the Swedish guitar legend. He's one of the few musical artists who can keep a fairly consistent sound over his albums, unlike some bands whose sound evolves into other forms (which may be for the better or for the worse). I can listen to Yngwie's recent work and listen to his earlier work and it definitely sounds similar. The great part is that he can still come up with great songs over and over again...not just the same material rehashed and spit out.
I've been listening to a fair bit of Pink Floyd lately, especially to the album Division Bell. A sound I'd like Anastassia Skye to have would be like the songs "Cluster One", "High Hopes", and "Marooned".
