I had reached the point in life where it was going to be either a Motorcycle, a Younger Woman, or an Amplifier. We all reach this stage eventually, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. As I could not get very much in the way of quality in either a Motorcycle or a Younger woman for $2,000, I opted for amplifier and guitar.

But I can name some bands/albums that I did listen to a lot! So in somewhat of an historical order... Rage against the machine - bulls on parade (my first metalsounding album ever, before that.. All eurodisco. Remember buying it after listening to it in the store with those headphones already plugged in with the weeks 4 top records or something.. Sounded brutal.. ) Megadeth - Rust in peace I remember buying this at "nice price" sale having no idea what it really was. But I liked the guitar riffs. Sounded just awsome. Metallica - any album availible at the time I was already warmed up with some metal but these guys made me "all into metal" for quite some time. Nirvana - unplugged mtv record.. This were the riff I started playing. Mainly because it´s a good record, it was my sisters and I could actually play them. Simply and nice! Millencolin - Life on a plate Listened to this so many times... Borrowed from the library over and over again.. Emotional lyrics sort of. Energizing sound. Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising force This made me want to play fast =) Awsome record btw. Blind Guardian - Somewhere far beyond (and all other records later on) I remember having this record for a year or so. Never really got hooked. And then when putting it on in a very long time I just was blown away. Bought them all =) Think I apreciated it more when I had started playing guitar. So much influence by other bands but I think this were the ones going over and over again when I was young.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Frog Stomp - Silverchair Dookie - Green Day Smash - Offspring Load - Metallica (I was young and it had jsut come out, I worked backwards through their catalog, I dont' touch it at all now ) Superunknown - Soundgarden Then I grew up, went to college, needed a hobby that didn't involve bars and loose women to entertain myself during the week. Then there it was, sitting on the shelf at target on my lunch break. The name was so ridiculous I immediately knew I had to buy it. The font reminded me of the one other band I knew that played Power Metal (at the time, was Freedom Call), DragonForce - Inhuman Rampage. I immediately took the CD to the front and bought it and popped it in and was floored. So for my triumphant return to the 6 string. Inhuman Rampage - DragonForce Surfing with the Alien - Joe Satriani The Odyssey - Symphony X Kill Em All - Metallica And, as cheesy as the CD is: City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
