Jason Bieler from Saigon Kick has probably had the largest influence on how I play.

Oh boy... I'm gonna get reamed for this but here goes...
STEVE BROWN from Trixter!!!
Hear me out. We are the same age. First time I walked into a club in north jersey I was 15, and Trixter was playing. Had no idea who they were but Steve was up there rippin it up. I was only playing for a year at the time and was just standing there watching a kid my age play catchy well thought out songs with killer solo's. I remember thinking I've got a lot of work to do to be able to play like that...
BTW, Trixter was not some bubble gum pop rock band in the clubs. They were much more aggressive and raw before they were signed...
Now, I've spent countless hours trying to emulate EVH, Jake E Lee, Di Martini, and Lynch, but it was Steve that gave me that first live experience that opened my eyes to what you can do with a guitar...
Honorable mention has to go to two other local Jersey players Bob Spec, and Kenny Dubman!
Ace Frehley is the reason I ever wanted a guitar...
