Robert Full name: Robert Westerholt Date of Birth: 02-01-1975 Main instrument: Guitar Other intruments: Keyboards and PC  Favourite Music: Tori Amos: music and emotions on the highest level, Paradise Lost: With Gothic they convinced me of the power of melodic doommetal and good songs. I still love their albums, Rhapsody: great orchestrations and heavy metal, way over the top. I really enjoy their musical adventures, Iron Maiden: Godfathers of heavy metal; who doesn't have a record of them ? And much more bands (I would at least need an extra page...) Favourite Movies: Lord of the Rings,The X-men, Braveheart, The Matrix, The gladiator.                  Your life besides music:I play soccer and tennis. I enjoy watching  Formula 1.            I am a fanatic fantasy-book reader. Unfortunately I often lack time for reading. Most embarrassing gig: I think it was a the gig in the 'Blokhut' in Rotterdam where because of a powerfaillure the keyboards were detuned with 3 notes. It gave a surprising effect when the whole band started the first song together. In fact it was so surprising that we all stopped playing to tune again and started the show for the second time... then it went well, nerve-wrecking! Surprising Facts: That we finally released our CD (even in the year 2000 !)

I also teach at home. I love to read. And I love to get myself all sweaty in the gym before getting sweaty again in the sauna... Most embarrassing gig: I used to have long hair and in some way it got caught in/around a microphone while I was headbanging. It hurt like hell but I kept playing. I felt so silly because the girl I was in love with stood right in front of me. We never got together (no wonder) Surprising Facts: I am NOT related to Angelina. Cool huh?
