Marco Minuti

Born in 1983 and raised on distorted guitars, he cut his teeth on punk, metal, and hard rock. He's always loved the raw energy of these genres, and after playing guitar for a while, he fell head over heels in love with the bass, making it his main instrument. The turning point came when he discovered Iron Maiden and the captivating bass lines of Steve Harris, who demonstrated a new way of conceiving the role of the bass, no longer just an accompaniment but a true driving force.

He has had the pleasure of playing in various bands, both with original songs and covers. In 2009, with NeraVirtù, a rock band specializing in original music, he won the Rock Targato Italia contest, which resulted in the release of their first album, "Segui la mia danza." Among the projects he has participated in, Troopers of the Beast holds a special place, his first Iron Maiden tribute, where he met Dario Bonzani, the band's guitarist. He regularly participates in the Jam at Rock 'n' Roll Pub in Milan, where friendships and collaborations have developed, especially with Evan Russell.

Beyond music, he's always taken care of the image of the bands he's been in, sharing his passion for graphics, video, and music editing. He's a car and model enthusiast, but his true passion remains the stage, where you can currently find him as the bassist for Monkey-B, a Skid Row tribute band, a band he's a huge fan of. He's also had the fortune of collaborating extensively with Ides of March, even providing last-minute replacements when needed before officially joining them...

Music, friendship, and the stage: what more could you want?
