Dave Mustaine
I think that Dave Mustaine has had a huge influence on my guitar playing style. I think I wouldn't play guitar like I do if I didn't love his guitar playing with Megadeth. It influenced how I looked at a metal riff. Dave Mustaine showed me that metal was more than mindless playing, it was an art form that required a lot of technique. Megadeth for the win!
Bruce Dickinson/Nicko McBrain/Iron Maiden
Bruce Dickinson is probably one of the best singers in music and I strongly believe that no one else can wail like him. He is the front man of Iron Maiden. Nicko Mcbrain is the drummer of Iron Maiden. He is known for his complex drumming and foot technique. Iron Maiden is one of the most important bands that came from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Iron Maiden is one of the premiere bands today.. and they deserve it.
Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Page. 'Nuff said. Led Zeppelin? 'Nuff said.
Paul Banks
I love Paul Banks because of his unique voice and great lyrics. The music of interpol has a lot to offer. If you're interested in some good music that isn't hard to enjoy, I'd suggest listening to Turn On the Bright Lights or Antics.
