HateEvent Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Gotta be James Hetfield mainly for me. I based my rhythm playing traits around his technique and still harness that style when playing (and writing) lots of rhythm stuff.As far as other guitarists go, it's really broken down into Rhythm and Lead for how each has inspired me and helped add techniques and ideas to my phrasing and playing:-Dimebag - LeadKirk Hammett - LeadRob Flynn - RhythmMichael Ammott - RhythmMick Thompson - RhythmJeff Hanneman - LeadPat O Brien - Rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen B Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Places inspire my music too. I was in the middle east recently and picked up some local music its pretty cool.But that's really the local music rather than the place itself which inspired you, no?

Volta Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Good topic!Singing: Bowie, Lennon, Dylan, Jagger.Guitar: Keith Richards, Johnny Marr, Mick Taylor, Dylanj, LennonFor me, the Stones music was a great starting point for diversifying into and exploring other styles, e.g. country, blues, reggae, r'n'r,soul. So thanks to Keith for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I just think it is totally bizarre that so many of the people that frequent this site are obsessed by bands that even our parents found boring back in the day, or cheapo american bands. It just stinks of denial and defeat, it's lazy and utterly deplorable. GET A LIFE! CREATE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
