His live presence, his energy and all the crazy running around and headbanging. The guy puts more into it than almost anyone I've seen.long4theblur wrote:THEE. Uno.

Agreed, he just has nothing on album that lends itself to musical inspiration. Maybe live performance inspiration.Motorhead wrote:His live presence, his energy and all the crazy running around and headbanging. The guy puts more into it than almost anyone I've seen.long4theblur wrote:THEE. Uno.

Cliff Burton. I remember being five years old listening to Kill 'Em All with my uncle and heard "bass solo take one", and always wondered how that kind of music was possible. Ten years later I found out.

It was some local garage band type thing that played a show in an old theater. It was the first time I had seen a band. I was 14 and hooked.

then theres that, local musicians
When i first got to highschool there were 2 dudes in grade 12 that would hang out in the music/av room alot during lunch break and they would let me and a couple of my buddies in to watch them jam. We were just starting out playing instruments ourselves so we were happy as pigs in shit just watching them play.
Both were amazing, one played bass and the other drums. They occasionally had a guitarist in on the sessions but it was mainly just them 2.
In that room they had all the schools lighting and other junk for stage setup so sometimes they would would turn out the lights and put the stobes on and even a fucking fog machine
Small room engulfed in that fog juice, probably not good for the lungs.
To this day i never seen a bass player as good as that guy in highschool. After he graduated i heard he got signed to a record company out west in Calgary or somewhere to sit in on studio sessions for recording, I don't remember to term used for those musicians.
The drummer went to uni or college for music and i think worked or works at studio as an engineer.

This is the Musician's Forum, I think you made a wrong turn.

Layne Stayley and Johnny Cash inspired me to try to sing but I fucking suck.
Geezer Butler and Billy Gould got me into bass.
Van Williams, Dave Lombardo, and Chris Adler got me into drumming.
Too many guitarists to name inspired me to pick up a guitar

There was no single musician, I originally started playing because of the horrible stuff I was listening to when I was 12 or 13, along with local musicians. However, I have to say that learning Pantera stuff did a lot for my playing when I was about 18

one of my friends was learning to play guitar, and he was learning Nirvana stuff. Then he was teaching me how to play it. So thank you Kurt Cobain for writing such easy stuff.
