About The Guest

Andrew Stockdale was raised in Ashgrove, Brisbane and educated at Ashgrove State School, Wimbledon Middle School, The Gap State High School and Kelvin Grove State College. Stockdale’s influences are most commonly cited among late-sixties and early-seventies hard rock and heavy metal guitarists. Vocally compared to a “cross between Robert Plant and Ozzy Osbourne” by Allmusic, his guitar antics and stage persona are commonly traced to Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, while his style can often be compared to progressive rockers like Pink Floyd.
