Helios Creed

Profile:
Born: November 3, 1953 - Long Beach, California. Height: 6'6".

He first came to prominence in the mid 1970s with Chrome, later establishing a solo career.

Helios has said that he invented his trademark guitar sound trying to replicate the sound he heard in his head, while "listening to Black Sabbath on LSD on headphones when I was a teenager."

Creed has lived in Hawaii, San Francisco and currently lives in Oklahoma, still touring... sporadically.
