Who's your insperation?

;D... well for these? Since I really like Metallica...but, Carlos Santana's music is affected for 2 generation of musicians and music lovers...now on maybe 3 :) and he still pushing the limits and find new ways to music.

Like Black magic woman (even it was an cover from fleetwood mac) was source of inspiration to me and many others in late 70' is Smooth source of inspiration to our time youngsters. Carlos Santana is more than a guitar virtuoso, he is a living legend.

Quote from Santana "I dont play music, its only go through me"

Way to limit us.

Ya honestly... I really recieve no inspiration from either but thanks.

Santana has a bad vibrato just ask shred durst

Neither, I'm inspired by Soungarden, Disturbed, Alice in Chains, and more.
As long as I like them then they inspire me usually

lol @durst, mine is the skynyrd 1

I just looked up asshole on winklopedia and it showed a pic of shred durst! geez what a fucking dick!
I wouldn't cross the street to spit on his shoe!

i know I get a laugh every time i watch it.

"allen collins, randy rhoads, and the lynyrd skynyrd sound"

Uhhh... Wat?

Jeez, this should be (and was) a thread, this shouldn't be a poll. People's inspirations are going to be too diverse to catagorise.

my inspiration r ranyd rhoads allen collins and the lynyrd skynyrd sound, wuts strange bout tht, thts y i started playing, the main reasons


lol who else said wut i put woot!

Ok, this poll shouldn't even be a poll. Anyway, my influence's are Oasis, The Beatles, and Christ.

It's strange because the way it's worded in the poll, with Randy Rhoads in between Allen Collins and Skynyrd, makes it sound like Randy Rhoads was part of Skynyrd.

Anyway, my biggest inspirations are Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, and Eddie Hazel (of Funkadelic).

i'm just inspired by anybody who's better than me. i try to get good enough so i can be as good or better than them

im inspired by many bands and many musicians.. but of those i choose metallica

I think I take bits and pieces from every band I listen to. I pull mostly from early 90's alternative with some delta blues and 70's rock. Biggest contributions to my sound would be Sublime, Counting Crows, DMB, Pearl Jam, and OAR.

a big part of my inspiration comes from my dad. he's taught me alot of what he knows about guitars and performing. in my opinion hes very good at his little 'gigs' which he does now and again. alot some comes from dave murray of iron maiden. absolutly insane guitarist!

after figuring out that some metallica is easy on guitar i played some of that. then got lessons and now i like blues among other types of music like stevie ray vaugh and van halen which i used (middle school) to think sucked.

LADIES!

Slash!

I put Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith. but honestly almost all of the above have inspired me one way or another

and just wondering, why did someone put "John Lennon/George Harrison" and not put Paul McCartney?

jimi hendrix, jimmy page and john lennon and george harrison.

im liking this guy already lol. some of my favorites

5% jimmy page! yeahh!! haha nah just the love of music is inspiring.

I wrote in George Lynch, but also like Randy Rhoads. I am a huge George fan. I love the way he sounds. xX
