Tom, like his
twin brother Michael, was born on the 8th of May 1987, and has just recently celebrated his 17th birthday.
He is known
for his destructive guitar thrashing and highly technical solos, alongside a tidal wave of merciless headbanging, leaving
spectators in awe by his oozing talent and eye-catching stage presence.
His main influences
are based around guitar heroes such as Joe Satriani and Jimmy Page, and is a long term fan of rock legends Iron Maiden, Led
Zeppelin and AC/DC. Influences like these have helped Tom to help produce his own distinct playing style, ripping through
breathtaking solos with no remorse on the fretboards of his Randy Rhodes and Gibson Les Paul instruments.
Since the beginning
of the Silas story, from the Winter of 2003, Tom has continually lived up to the occasion for every show, reverting between
guitar and drum duties. He has formed an amazing guitar relationship with Michael and James, and the potential that this young
lead guitarist has is incredible.
Theres no doubting
the fact that Tom Ross has a very bright future in his musical career, as he continues to climb the Stairway To guitar Heaven.
