green day, onyx, naughty by nature, tribe called quest in elementary

rage, korn, fear factory in ms

the roots, phish, moe., marley, etc in hs

biggrin: biggrin:

Kurt Cobain, Pete Townsend.

Camillo Wong Moreno and Metallica

To tell the truth - My Uncle, who gave me all of his old tapes when I was like 5.....They were all Hiphop, De La Soul, Eric B & Rakim etc.

I went through a rock phase, instigated by Pearl Jam and Faith No More. But I don't listen to much other music outside of urban music genres these days.

Neil Pert

beatles and pink floyd

I got my first guitar when I was 13. It was an Eddie Van Halen look-alike from Sears. Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Van Halen...all were huge influences and springboards for my musical ventures.

Biggest influences since then have been Iron Maiden (and always will be a source of inspiration), Metallica ("...And Justice For All" was huge with me in high school), and some celtic acts like Stan Rogers, Great Big Sea, and Shanneyganock. I grew up on that irish/newfoundland/celtic stuff...it's in my blood.

grofe' - grand canyon suite

mostly my brother and my father. pyro and merlin: rock:

well i lissend to alot of stuff: jazz,soul,funk,hiphop,rock,pop,hardrock, and all kinds of those too.

I never was influenced by anyone but coincidently when i play guitar it sounds weird and odd kind of like Brian Benoit from Dillinger Escape Plan or if i'm tired and want to sit back i'll just bust out some slow ambient music (Gary Larsen).

When I was like 7 I liked Elvis, then he died and I found Kiss, wanted to be Paul Stanley.

Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Maynard Ferguson, Dizzy Gillespie, Jon Faddis, Vaun Nark, Clifford Brown, Rick Braun, Chris Botti, my own trumpet teacher, Arturo Sandoval and trumpets from DCI (Drum Corps International).

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK............. WE SALUTE YOU !!!!

Fuckin A boomstick, I'd have to say AC/DC, and Guns n Roses. Other then hard rock and metal from the early 80s and 90s I like allot of classic oldies from the 50/60/70s.

YAAAA!!!!! See Zap knows where it's at!

AC/DC sucks

Black Sabbath definatly. When i was just a little kid. Bill Wards drumming was so leet. I was all, i want to be leet. Mom, buy me a drum set. Woman.

Metallica, Guns n' Roses, Millencolin, Satanic Surfers, Loop Troop and Spice Girls.

also The Police

The only thing that made Sabbath good was Iomii, Ozzy Osbourne may be one of the worst musicians of all time, the only thing that made him good was the Guitarists around him, i.e. Iomii, Jackson, Wylde

Dream Theater
Liquid Tension Experiment
Phish
Pat Metheny
A Perfect Circle
Led Zeppelin
The Who

comming from a classical background, may I ask if any of these musicians you all idolize know anything about theory or what they actually are doing? I might go into music composition in college, and i was wondering if these guys were atually 'that smart' to make their music. Right now, I've taken 2 years of Music theory in my highschool. We've analyzed alot of music and it seems to me that none of these guys were great.


But don't get me wrong here...I'm not dissing any of these guitarists or whathaveyou. Sometimes, it's the simplist stuff that sounds the best to the ear--that's why alot of you can play much of your favorite songs. Tabs has also helped the spread of the music to the average person. I'm big into jazz and I mostly like them as musicians because they all know theory behind chords and countless modes/scales/cliches/phrases that they use in improvisations. Not too many people can play solos of the great jazz musicians. Again, don't get me wrong. I was just wondering if these guys really know what they are playing.

Iommi can lick my ass

Kurt Cobain

Scott Stulir

Dream Theater (Mike Portnoy in particular, one of the few people that still gives me backstage passes)

also, Beavis and Butthead inspired me. THANK YOU MIKE JUDGE!!
