1963 Born in the most square-headed region (Swabia) of Germany
1972 Played secretly my brothers Black Sabbath LP again and again. Got a good thrashing because it was totally scratched then.
1977 My sisters' friend brought along Yes' Relayer. This was the start of my career als elitist musical snob. Started listening to Jazz and Contemporay Classical.
1978 Entered a record store and was strucked by the most incredible music I have ever heard (turned out to be Gong est mort). Stood there round 10 minutes paralyzed with my mouth open and then took that thingy at home. Became a big fan and bought everything I could find.
1979 Listened to Hawkwind's Live 1979. Became a big fan and bought everything I could find.
1980 Increased alcohol consumption to an insane amount. Puked evey day.
1981 Fell into coma at a John McLaughlin concert. Got diagnosed cerebral hemorrhage. Survived anyway.
1983 Felt life to be fucking boring and attempted sucide.
1984 Moved out and started living in apartment-sharing communities.
1986 Heard Master of the Puppets and became interested in metal.
1987 Read The challange of fate by Thorwald Detlefsen and changed my life. Quit drinking and taking drugs and enrolled for Earth Science and Physics at university.
1988 Heard Cause of Death and became a Death Metal fan.
1989 Sold my whole LP collection pushed for money. Hell, today this would be invaluable.
1990 Started listening to traditional Classical music frequently.
1992 Got married. Big mistake!
1996 Lost my job as scientific assistant because I disproved papers of my doctoral advisor and refused to fake data. That's how science works.
1997 Took a job as assistant quality engineer. Marched through to Vice president level within 4 years. Apparently there was no time for music.
2000 Bought a house. Big mistake!
2001 Heard Dream Theater's Once in a Livetime and regained interest in Metal.
2002 Reached the peak. Made business trips round the world, had the best food and accomodation.
2003 Got depressed. Struggled with suicidal thoughts. Neglected work. Built a large Metal CD collection. Maybe Metal saved my live.
2004 Read The multidimensional cosmos trilogy by Armin Risi and rediscovered what's important in life. Recovered completely. Joined MR. Got downgraded to non-executive level at work.
2005 Quit MR
2006 Rejoined after seeing that Hawkwind review. Wrote the story of my life there.

Move to LA this year ;)
