What Has Inspired You In Music Styles Options

[mba64]

Hi everybody yesterday I was sitting and thinking about music styles and what has inspired me over the years,there is so many great bands and players out there but not so many has really got to me as a few.

My first music experience that I have was a music company that sell record by postorder 1 record a month, and I saw this cool record called One More From The Road it was Lynyrd Skynyrd I bought it becouse it look cool.
Then I went to record store and heard Higway Star that really got to me I still love that song.

Next was a friends brother to me that had Led Zeppelin and Black sabbath record oboy man the riffs Toni is the king.

Then came kiss and I got poster all over my room and my father said w.t.f is that you call that music, I love them still.

After that it was Status Quo,Hurriganes,Rush and euruption with van Halen we played it over and over in school.
Then came Metallica and change my world,so fast so god I got an eargasm and those chugging guitars holy smoke.
Not since Metallica I have had that felling I got since I heard them the first time it was unlike anything else.

Then I started to play guitar and start listnining to Jimi Hendrix,Satriani,Vinnie Moore,Steve vai,Ritche kotzen.
Then it was Souther style again with Pantera what force what power,not since Metalica had I heard this.

That is my influences whats yours(mine nu is GMC so many great guitar player I can just sitt and look a lessons for days)

My first musical influence was Eric Clapton and Neil Young, I think I started listening to them when I was like 5 years old.
I started to get interested to play guitar when I was 11 and it was mostly Neil Young, Red Hot Chili Peppers (John Frusciante) and SRV that inspired me the most. When I was 12 ~13 I started listening to Metallica and Rush, practicing their songs really boosted my guitar playing. Around the age 14 ~15 I started listening to Death/Prog Metal (Opeth), (Dream Theater) and I listened much more to instrumental music from Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Paul gilbert.
At that point I decided to dedicate my life to playing guitar and played for 4 ~8 hours per day, depending on how much I need to do for school, which hasnt changed till date. In the period between my 15 ~16 birthday I listened more and more to death metal, bands like Cannibal Corpse, Bloodbath, Obituary, Death and a crapload more started to have major influence on me. Not just on a musical but also on a personal level. Around my 16th birthday I heard Agalloch for the first time which has black metal vocals and they opened a whole new musical world for me. I also started listening to the acoustic music from Andy Mckee. Between my 16th birthday and my 17th (9 days ago) I listened alot to black metal and melancholic music bands like Empyrium, Fen, Burzum, Immortal, Abyssic Hate and much more... Recently I started playing more Jazz and my latest influences are Joe Pass, Frank Gambale and Allan Holdsworth.

But even though my musical journey continues I still love all the things I listened to, Blues, (Hard, neoclassical) Rock, Shred, Death Metal, Black Metal, (neo) Folk, Progressive Metal, Acoustic, Jazz, Fusion. The only musical styles I dont like are Emo, Nu-Metal, Rap and everthing else they broadcast on MTV

I probably forgot about some stuff but ./care
