Lately its been a bunch of metal. I listen to everything but its been metal lately. No particular 10 songs, but Opeth, Terasbetoni (not that I know much about them, but someone linked a couple songs in another thread that were pretty cool. At least, it shows how you can make a simple thing into an awesome riff). Also I've been going back over Kai's stuff, and some local metal bands. Interesting I've also been doing fingerpicking blues, not listening to it much but playing it.

One song for sure would be Machine Gun for me. The only one I can think of at the moment

honestl, I get inspired by a lot of things. For example, last night around 2 in the morning I was watching a Paul Gilbert instructional video and I got inspired to play knowing that I have college in 4 hours.

Loosely ordered:


1. Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry - Chuck Berry is on Top
-first time I heard it was on Back to the Future. My first thought was "I wanna play that"

2. Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne w/ Randy Rhodes - Blizzard of Ozz

3. White Room - Cream - Wheels of Fire

4. Roadhouse Blues - The Doors - Morrison Hotel

5. Princes of the Universe - Queen - Highlander Soundtrack?

6. Power Rangers Theme Song - ? - Opening to Original Power Rangers

7. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - George Harrison - The White Album

8. Holy Diver - Dio - Holy Diver

9. Free Bird - Lynard Skynard - Lynard Skynard

10. Beat it - Michael Jackson w/ Eddie Van Halen - Thriller

You do realize that Clapton did the guitar work on this song, right? I didn't know it either until recently I was watching a show on VH1CL and they said it. Kind of blew me away as for years(since the song was released) I've thought it was GH that did it.

No I didn't know that. Thanks for ruining everything, buzzkiller.

lol! JK. I have to look into that. I'm going to leave it as George Harrison but the guys that really their stuff will know that Clapton had something to do with it.

Did it have anything to do with Harrison playing Badge with cream?

Hmm, I'll try to be original here. Not sure if it'll work though. No order.

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
2. Steven Tyler and Carlos Santana - Just Feel Better
3. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Crossfire / Tightrope
4. Van Halen - Humans Being
5. Styx - Blue Collar Man / Renegade / Too Much Time (On My Hands)
6. Megadeth - Skin O' My Teeth
7. Eric Clapton - Layla / Tears in Heaven
8. Cream - Sunshine of Your Love / Crossroads
9. Metallica - Fuel / Enter Sandman / One
10. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son / Play The Game Tonight

5. Joe Satriani: Always With Me, Always With You
6. Steve Vai: The Attitude Song
7. Megadeth: Angry Again

4. Evenflow - Pearljam
5. The Sleep - Pantera
6. One - Metallica (incidentally it also made me want to try drums)
7. Bron Y Aur Stomp - Led Zeppelin
8. Do the Bearcat - David Wilcox
9. I am Hell - White Zombie (not too terribly difficult sounding but it was the first song I remember thinking that it would be cool to learn to play)
10. Stonehenge - Spinal Tap (the hilarity of that band is offset by the fact that they do have some amount of talent, especially the celtic sounding part at 3 minutes into it).

Also I play a lot of fantasy computer games and whenever I take my character/party into a pub they have awesome music that I wish I could play.
