Who's been the most influential musician/player/guitarist in your life?

I owe everything to Billie joe Armstrong from Green Day. After listening to that band in 94 I just HAD to get a guitar......if it wasn't for that band/man I wouldn't be here today as a musician.

This album was IT for me:

this video opened my eyes to the band:

I almost burned a VHS tape I made of this concert because I watched it TOO freaking much. I still have boxes and boxes of taped VHS shows and videos from when MTV was a good network.




how about you?
 
George Lynch....he pretty much taught me how to play guitar!
 
Lynch
Van Halen
DeMartini/Crosby
Rhoads
Wylde
Malmsteen
Perry/Whitford
 
EVH and Lynch.


Time for the ass patting lovefest though........................

Guys from the forum drive me harder than anything else, guys like Gainfreak, HGainiac, Danyeo, Robotech Ivan, Carl Roa, 70Strathead, Fast Eddie D, Curt, Sah5150, Savage, Killertone, Fortin, and countless others that not listed but remembered. They are the ones that have taught me to become better whiloe also being friends. Say what you will but the best thing to happen to me was meeting many of these guys and watching them just tear the joint apart, not some guy with typed experience but real world knowledge and the chops to back them up.

I was told by a major record label exec once while hanging with some of the guys mentioned............."be careful who you place on an alter..............."

Hoping to meet Mike HIckey soon at my house and hope that he pounds me into the ground with knowledge as well :thumbsup:
 
Randy Rhoads fueled the fire for me to pick up the guitar and be serious about it.

Mo
 
Lynch,demartini, mick mars, early kirk hammett and hetfield.
Those guys made me wanna play air guitar when i was 10 yrs old. If it wasnt for them i wouldnt have picked up a guitar, they made me wanna play.
 
Ted Nugent and Ace Frehley made me want to play. Randy Rhoads made me want to get better.
 
Adrian Smith. Bruce Dickinson said it best once in an interview... something to the effect that Adrian writes and plays notes/solos that just seem to flow like water down a waterfall--everything spilling over in perfect fluidity and harmony.

Then Joe Satriani made me want to play better--still working on that one...
 
mandolin playing is owed all to sam bush.

electric guitar owed to Brent Mason.
