Metal:
I've always been split between metal head and 70's rock as my main influence, but with metal Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Testament, and Black Sabbath have been my biggest influences. While I also really got into the melodic metal, and In Flames has influenced me as well.
Classic Rock:
I've always love Led Zeppelin so Jimmy Page is a huge influence, because he brought so many elements to hard rock. Because of Jimmy I got into some blues music, and some funk music. It just makes you appreciate the ability to bring any influences you have into your playing, allowing you to be more creative. Aside from Zeppelin, Pink Floyd is my #2 from that era. David Gilmour was great because he had such a soulful sound to his playing, which is probably why I love Slash, and Santana. Also some other bands that i was into were Boston, Cream, Hendrix, CCR, The Guess Who, The Doors, The Who, ZZ Top, Rush, Queen.
Blues:
I'm not too deep into blues, but love a few blues players, and something about the music flows with me, BB King, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Can't get enough of it.
Grunge/Rock:
I grew up in the 90's so bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Chili Peppers.
