Bob Jones. Most people won't know who I am talking about. Either someone thinks you're talking about their friend named Bob Jones who goes by Robert Jones because he is a lawyer or a preacher or some sort of white-collared newfangled lad. Well, that is not the Bob Jones I am talking about. This Bob Jones is probably more creative, raw and better looking then every other same named humanoid out there in the world.
A jack of many trades, he is the lead guitar player in the band, Desperation Squad. Bob's guitar playing is similar to the riffs of Jimi Hendrix or Dick Dale and coincidently they all three play a right handed guitar in reverse, except Hendrix had his neck reversed instead of the whole body. D-Squad has been pushing out tracks and playing shows for twenty plus years in California, along with touring the U.S. during The Warped Tour '01. They were also contestants on America's Got Talent, performing the song,"Bad Band".
While Bob Jones is known around the Inland Empire for shredding on the guitar, he is also a well known painter. His paintings are for the most part extremely abstract, ranging from different emotions and patterns in each piece. He has created many album covers for local bands in the area. Bob also does photography installations of the random and somewhat overlooked items in our everyday life.
Everyone and their mother should know who Bob Jones is. You can purchase his artwork along with listening to his solo recordings on his website. You can also check him out in any of the D Squad videos. See the hilarious short, "Stopover in Wyoming", where Bob goes to buy fireworks on the Warped Tour and the band ditches him in Wyoming. Also, we ask that you please support this article by sending it to your family and friends along with leaving comments.
