Dean Bibb plays both guitar and bass guitar. His parents listened to Southern Gospel, Country and Easy Listening as he grew
up. He didn't like any of it. His neighbor listened to hard rock. Guess who had more of an effect over Dean's developement
as a musician? Dean sites Poison's CC DeVille as his impetus to play, and King's X's Ty Tabor as his driving force.

Thomas Edens Bibb and Kathy Lea Bibb. There was much rejoicing. Resides in Ansted, WV until 2001.
At age of eight,
Dean makes vocal proclamation of Faith in JESUS CHRIST. Spends the next ten years making a mockery of such Faith. Dean still
has regrets.
At age of eightteen, Dean accepts JESUS CHRIST as his Lord and Saviour. Tries to live properly but fails
daily. Don't look to Dean as anything other than a human trying to please His God. Look to God for Salvation.
