music influences

[skorb]

so yeah, I'm a noob that just found this board, just curious what you guys are listening to or were influenced by musically. because I'm a metalhead who has been exposed to a wide variety of new music lately and it's all killer.

and I like to check out new shit I have not yet heard, to broaden my horizons.

I'm 40 so we're talking UFO, MSG, Iron Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Scorpions, VH, Rush, Led Zep and all that classic 70's and early 80's hard rock and metal, pre-hair bands.

then of course Dokken, Ratt, Queensryche - the good 80's metal bands.

right now my two favorite bands are Jane's Addiction and Foo Fighters. also Alice in Chains, they are so heavy.

I got introduced to a lot of great alt music on a Jane's postbored, and downloaded a shitload until the lawsuits started flying.

right now I really like

Filter (alternative metal, very heavy, melodic)
NIN (everyone knows their deal, I like some of it)
Massive Attack (intense electronic trippy shit, very cool chill music)
311 (jazz/hiphop/rock/ska/punk/rap outfit, their guitarist Tim Mahoney is insane, he can do it ALL)
Porno for Pyros (Perry's post Jane's band with Peter Distefano on guitar)
The Secret Machines (new killer power trio, and upbeat stuff too)
and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (another trio, sick dirge like hypnotic songs, lots of guitar)

I'm always looking for cool new bands and music to check out! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: music influences

I had classical piano lessons when i was young so that was my first influence.. then I got into metallica and guitars..

I learned a lot of metallica riffs and solos. Then I discovered deathmetal (morbid angel) and blackmetal but that lasted for a short while.. I learned a lot of children of bodom songs, so that was a big influence.. and later I got into Vai, Becker and Malmsteen

it's all good. everyone has their thing. I'm not into death metal and that cookie monster stuff.

but.... Jane's is plenty metal, if you take the time to listen. you should crank Mountain Song, Three Days, and Ain't No Right, those songs fucking rip and are heavy as hell! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
