Who inspired you into picking up a REAL guitar?

Postby slashfan7964 » Fri Aug 28, 2009 1:05 pm

I say Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen were the two guys who inspired my to pick up a real guitar and start my own band. Who inspired you (if you play)?

And while you're munching on their cheesy wheat-y goodness, a person breaks into your home and begins to rob everything you own, because you have some ****' goldfish at hand, they smile back at you with that "Every little thing is going to be alright" kind of look and then you think they're some freaky-ass jamaican goldfish or something but then "Wait, goldfish aren't jamaican. They are canadian, which is why they come in bags." So you end up wanting to hang out with your rastafarian friend but wait, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS. So you end up trying to download the Bob Marley discography but wait, THERE ARE NO SEEDS. Then, when the clock strikes twelve, you realize that your goldfish are quickly running out, and you wonder to yourself "Do goldfish feel pain?" So to test this theory you begin to break them in half, demanding that they give you direct coordinates to the rebel base. But they say nothing, so you continue to munch on their cheesy wheat-y goodness. But what's this? THE BAG IS EMPTY!

Alone in your dark empty room, you crawl your hollow shell of a body to the darkest corner, and your mourn, you mourn the lost of your goldfish, and you ponder... should I buy another bag?

That is a ****' goldfish.

When I started playing guitar there were no bands I wanted to sound like, I just wanted to play like my uncle. 8 or 9 years later and I'm still not as good. v.v *sigh* Maybe one day.

As cliche as this may sound, Nirvana. Krist Novoselic had an inspiration on my first years of bass playing. Later I progressed to Geddy, Jaco, Justin Chancellor, and Mike Dirnt. But as far as picking up the bass goes, it was Nirvana.
I was wrong... maybe

My friends.

But if I were to get a bass, it's because of Flea (RHCP) and Josh Key (Psychostick)

In the beginning, my biggest guitar hero was probably Scott Ian. Currently, it's the dude from Venom.
