Alice Cooper, John Prine, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Billy Joel are some of the artists.

For guitar, gotta go back to my metal roots. Adrian Smith and Dave Murray from Maiden, Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield from Metallica, Manny Charlton from Nazareth.

The all time great though, was Mr Randy Rhoads. Skill without emotion is boring to me. Randy infused every amazing note with a passion that was unmatched.

Yeah I honestly don't like them...their music yes...specially the older stuff...but this guy had the goods!


I saw them the first time in '86 for the Master of Puppets tour. Cliff had died only a few months earlier.

Ride the Lightning and Kill Em All are genre-defining masterworks. Puppets was very good. I didn't pay much attention to their stuff after that. They were going in a way I didn't care for, musically.

Back in the day they were also very approachable. They were still about partying and hanging with fans. I had friends that got to meet and chat with them in Calgary on the MoP tour and my roommates partied with them in the Beverly Crest(scummy old rock bar) in Edmonton on the next tour( I got too hammered and had gone home :( ). My friend sill has an old smoke pack signed by everyone but Hetfield. As a true 80's headbanger, I related to them then as they were just like me. They walked the walk.

What they turned into after decades of international stardom, I have no idea and it doesn't matter to me. Nothing can tarnish the brilliance of those first two albums.

You get it, I do love the early stuff and the band was completly different when Cliff was alive. Don't listen to a lot of the great old head bang much anymore. These days I usually listen too Gilmore, Knoppler, and a more 70's gang rather than the 80's...my plants really like Buckethead!

Gilmore for me makes the Guitar cry like no other . A couple tracks on Division Bell are outstanding . Is there a guitarist I’ve never heard of called Knoppler ? Or did you mean Knoffler ? Wait up ……I think it’s spelt Knopfler ?

Lol...Yeah...I can't even see p's from f's without my put on eyeball's on my face!

I listen to Brothers in arms quite often, along with a lot of other Dire Straits Songs and any of his own A to Z...

"Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms"
