I have been guilty of that same act lol. It makes you feel like you are a guitar god.

Right on. I've enjoyed many of those bands. Especially David Lee Roth. That's when I first knowingly encountered Steve Vai on guitar. I used to sit around on the couch with my headphones, listening to Eat'em and Smile while playing my guitar ... unplugged LOL I just knew I was hitting it note for note LOL

I really jsut love the old stuff. A list of my favorite band would be Ratt, Krokus, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Kiss, Poison, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Quiet Riot, Warrant, Winger, Journey, Hanoi Rocks, Jimi Hendrix, GnR, Dokken, Cinderella, Firehouse, David Lee Roth solo stuff, Autograph, Aerosmith, Britny Fox, Judas Priest, Nitro, Nightranger, Pantera, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, and Ace Frehley solo album stuff. I love all that stuff to death and its what all influenced me. Music is pretty much my life and I love it all.

I'm into tons of music. I started off early listening to KISS. Then it was Motley Crue and Ozzy. Later it was Stormtroopers of Death and Metallica. After i found Suicidal Tendencies and Slayer, I was metal for life. Carcass and Morbid Angel are killer. On the softer side I dig Jimi Hendrix and Steve Vai, they totally blow my mind. Tom Petty is a big favorite along with the Doors and Pink Floyd too. And the list goes on What are some of your musical influences?

Hey man, thanks for the request! What bands are you into?
