Ok, I don't know if this has been a thread before so I am just going to start another one anyway. The most influential drummers who inspired me to start playing, and who still make me want to get up and play evey time I hear them are;
Andy Whale-ex-Bolt Thrower
Nicke Anderrson-ex-Entombed
Pete Sandoval-Morbid Angel/Terrorizer
Gene Hoglan-Death,Individual Thought Patterns(jaw dropping every time I hear it)
And last but certainly not least Tony Laureno-Nile(ex Malevolent Creation,and many others). The last one is more of a current inspiration. That's just mine so let me hear yours now. I know there has got to be someone who inspired you to start playing.

these days, every time i hear chris arp (psyopus) i just want to either quit music or go shred.

Angus Young made me pick up the guitar.
Zakk Wylde helped a lot also. I still love both these guitar players.

in the 80's: James Hetfield and Scott Ian
in the 90's: John McLaughlin (also made me quit)
in 2000: Nels Cline (made me personally start again)

i think toys in the attic came out in 1975. It was their third record. Get Your Wings is awesome too.

how i first started playing bass is actually kinda pathetic. about 5 years ago my twin brother got a guitar for christmas, as did another friend of mine (who's currently a guitarist in my band Damnatory) and another friend of mine got his first drum set. and just like every other beginner in the world would do, they started a band. i thought it was cool that they were doing it and i wanted to jam out too so i asked my brother if i could join. he told me the only position left was bass guitar. i was like "ok.......... what's a bass?"

from there my main influence became Cliff Burton but currently i am mainly following Alex Webster, A.K.A God. i try to follow other bassists as well outside of metal like Flea, Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorious, Billy Sheehan, and Bill Dickens.

"It makes me look cool and I get chicks. It's awesome." (someone from pearl jam)

watch the end of 'crossroads" no, not the britney spears movie, its ralph macchio and steve vai 'cuttin heads' That in itself is the best guitar ever played. its really steve vai and ry cooder playing. Ralph Macchio was too cute to be that good.

Sadly, my main influence for starting to play guitar was James Hetfield. But my dad played a big part in it.

I picked up a guitar on my own that was in a closet at the house we were living at at the time. Still have that same guitar to this day.
Nuge showed me note bending.
Iommi and hetfield showed me riffs.
Dimebag showed me soloing.

hmm...
well, i'd have to say overall, it was watching my uncle play drums for his gospel band and in chuch when i was a weeee youngin. I just thought it was the coolest shit ever. When I was around 9, i bought No DOubt's Tragic Kingdom and realized that MAYBE i should play drums seriously for the rest of my life. I took lessons for like a month and the rest is history. I'm self taught for the most part.
EXTREMELY unmetal, i know, but hey...its how it happened.

A local metalcore band called The Automata.

I was young, at the time I didn't even know music that heavy existed.

I was fucking young okay?!?!

Got me into playing guitar.

i was around 19 or 20 when that album came out...ugh...


my story...my sister gave me a copy of "Master of Puppets" when i was 12. i popped it in my tape deck and literally fell out of my chair during the "Battery" intro. I was all done.
The single person who i give the most credit for inspiring me to shred tho, has to be Andy from RAOV. when we were 15 he tore my ass up on his snot green Kramer. I wanted to play like him more than anybody.

my dad too, not so much an influence musically, but there were always guitars around since i was like 3...including one little one that was proportionate to me



toggletoggle post by blue  at Aug 9,2005 10:57pm
its lame, but id have to say when i heard 'justice' when i was like 10 it made me want to play. took me a couple years to get started though.

deep purple's Made In Japan made a big impact on me. I think i was around 11 when i heard that. After that, Metallica,Anthrax,ACDC, later the Ramones and Poison Idea
