I have to say my biggest influences totally are theese: (funny noone mentioned either one..) 1. MÃƒÂ¶tley crÃƒÂ¼e, Red hot chilipeppers, bad religion.. I don't play like any of them or even their "kind" of music..

what i can't stand (at all) are dorky dudes like bono+u2 and moz.
No disrespect to all you guys who love them, i'm just saying that i really don't. cheers!

It's interesting that you don't play the same "kind" of music as your favorite bands. I can definitely hear my influences come through my music. Though I love Django Reinhardt and certainly don't play anything like him.

Bands like Puddle of Mudd say they are influenced by Led Zeppelin, though I don't hear it in their play.

Well.. check out my ad200-clips and you'll hear no resemblance whatsoever..(maybe an old flea-lick somewhere but not anything else..)
but I'd love to start a sleazeband.. and that's probably the closest thing I will come to any of my old heroes..

Hey Macahan Chilli Peppers are a band I really rate musically and you're right its odd that no-one else has mentioned them.

A real variety and ability there.

stromholloway get blow by blow by Jeff Beck, incredible...a must have, and if you want something bluesy get Beck Ola or Truth, both good I like Beck Ola better tho...more stuff going on on that album.

 As for Jeff Beck, I don't know much about his music really. I know he played with the Yardbirds, who I love and think are underrated/almost forgotten, and played with Rod Stewart. But what's THE Jeff Beck album to get out of all of them?

Personally, I think "You Had it Coming" is his best. Not the latest self titled one, but the one before that. It has great songs, lots of variety and some truly moving and amazing guitar work.

Can't pick one only. Bands that have made a big impression to me and also influenced and encouraged me to play are Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath and MotÃƒÂ¶rhead. And yes Orangenoise, The Cult's Electric is one of my favourites also. Great rock album, the songs, the sound, just perfect.

Jeff Beck albums that are awesome: Wired, Who Else, Jeff, Blow by Blow, You had it coming, all different and killer, Guitar shop is really good too! There's not much he does wrong. One or two songs here and there but the great stuff really makes up for it.
