Simmessa was born in Italy during a hot summer, in 1979.
He became interested in music for the first time at the age of 10:
“Once, when I was a kid, I just borrowed this cd from my brothers’ “collection” (he had maybe 4 or 5 cds, hardly a collection at all…). It was the album Trash, by Alice Cooper, and I must say it was Love at first sight, I still believe “Poison” is one of the best songs ever written.”
Two years later, he made a big discovery, while he received from a close friend (and soon a fellow musician) a copy of a cassette containing “Iron Maiden” on side A and “Killers” on side B:
“At that time it became apparent to me that I really wanted to play an instrument to replicate what the british heavy metal players were doing. It took me some time to make my mind and overcome the struggle between the electric bass and the guitar. I have very small hands with short fingers and the scale of a 34” bass scared me a lot, and so I picked up the guitar.”
With a fourth hand Yamaha electric (the *ehm* awesome RGX-112) Simmessa began exercising all day long over Manowar songs:
“Manowar had that kind of loud and proud feeling that made music play such a central part of my life at the time, beside school, my guitar got all of my energies and I had a strong believe in the “ideals” that Manowar dispatched on their fans at the time. I guess I was too young and impressionable to find out the truth…and sure it was a nice fantasy!”
