He has performed in over 100 countries all over the world.

The Grovler realized in 2005 that the best way to look more cool would be to have a goatee.

Liquid Blue founders Scott Stephens and Michael Vangerov in 2006, his goatee realized.

The Grovler claims his beard has turned blue naturally with age since this 2006 photo.

Let's just say the Grovler has had some interesting experiences.

A solo at Liquid Blue's 6th major performance in China, the Sanya Music Festival.

The Grovler supports the troops and Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE) in Doha, Qatar.

Rocking on the runway in Manama, Bahrain while touring military bases in 2007.

This photo is from the poorly received "Men of Liquid Blue" 2007 Calendar.

Luckily he was able to fall back on fantastic guitar playing as calendar sales fell.

This photo allegedly proves that by 2007, the Grovler's goatee had
naturally turned blue.

The Grovler rocks the Vault 350, a popular night club in Long Beach, California.

Liquid Blue's long time phenom guitarist Michael "The Grovler" Vangerov.

Like most men, the Grovler looks best when surrounded by women.

This 2008 concert was the first broadcast for the new "all Olympic" TV channel, CCTV-5.

The Grovler helped kick off the build up to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

He played guitar to the sold out 8200-seat China Agricultural University Sports Arena.

The New Year's Eve concert featured Liquid Blue with many of China's biggest stars.

The event was seen by millions, televised not only on CCTV-5 but also CCTV 1, 3 and 9.

This was likely the band's biggest concert ever in terms of the television audience.

The Grovler is featured on this "Let There Be Rock" Chinese promotional poster.

It is easy to understand why people think the Grovler is a little crazy, just see above.

A little crazy can go a long way, all the way to Dapitan, Philippines for this photo.

The Grovler may have lost his mind circa 1998, when this photo was taken at Viejas Casino.

Playing a dirty tone to drive troops wild in Vitina, Kosovo in 2001, his mind definitely going.

The Grovler briefly usurped the City of Dipolog from its rightful Mayor in a short-lived Coup De Etat.

Completely nuts by 2007, he is shown here riding across a sea of soldiers in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The band made him tone it down a little for wine lovers at Grapefest in Grapevine, Texas.

He was right back to fat and nasty solos at the famous House of Blues in San Diego, California.

This is how it looks all the time now inside the Grovler's head.

Basketball player John Thomas "Spider" Salley provides a lesson in contrasts.

The Grovler plays full solos behind his head, while riding audience members around the crowd.
