I'd like to meet:

Music:

I like a lot of stuff, and I like to hear new stuff, so this band list is of course incomplete:

AC/DC, Aerosmith, Albert King, Al DiMeola, Anthony Hamilton, B.B. King, The Beatles, Ben Harper, Black Label Society, Black Sabbath, Bob Marley, Boston, Brent Mason, Brian Setzer, Buddy Guy, Cacophony, The Cars, Chet Atkins, Charlie Parker, Chuck Berry, Coldplay, Cream, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Danny Elfman, The Delta Rhythm Kings, Dick Dale, Dimmu Borgir, Dire Straits, Django Reindhart, Duane Eddy, Earl Scruggs, Elmore James, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Everlast, Exhorder, Fastball, Fernando Sor, Fernando Carulli, Flogging Molly, The Fugees, Garth Brooks, George Thorogood, Gorillaz, Guns 'N' Roses, Gypsy Kings, Howlin' Wolf, Infectious Grooves, James Brown, Jason Becker, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, J.S. Bach, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Cash, Jorge Ben, Justin Timberlake (why not?), K-Ci and JoJo, Koji Kondo, Lauryn Hill, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz, Link Wray, Little Richard, Louis Armstrong, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Manu Chao, Marty Friedman, Mauro Giuliani, MC5, Megadeth, Merle Haggard, Metallica, Mike Bloomfield, Mike Patton, Miles Davis, Modest Mouse, Muddy Waters, Muse, Nana Mouskouri, Neil Young, Nicolo Paganini, Night Train, Nirvana, Norah Jones, Nuclear Rabbit, Otis Redding, Outkast, Ozzy Osbourne, Paco de Lucia, Pantera, Paul Butterfield, Paul McCartney, Pepe Romero, Queen, Rage Against the Machine, Rahzel, Rammstein, Ray Charles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Robert Johnson, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Rolling Stones, The Roots, Roy Rodgers, Ry Cooder, Santana, Sarah McClauchlan, Sepultura, Seu Jorge, Simon and Garfunkel, Skindred, Slayer, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Son House, Sonny Boy Williamson: I and II, Soulfly, Soundgarden, Spinal Tap, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Stewart Copeland, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, The Ventures, Vicente Amigo, Waylan Jennings, The White Stripes, White Zombie, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde, ZZ Top, etc.

In addition to those named, I like the ridiculous amount of blues musicians out there who I really don't feel like naming (more than I have), and samba/brazilian music in general. I also listen to plenty of world music, including fado from Portugal, throat singing from Tuva/Mongolia, the Kora players and drumming of west Africa, the indigenous music from throughout the Americas and Australia, and anything I can find in between.

Take the quiz:
Which Guitar Player Are You?

Zakk Wylde
You are Zakk Wylde! You are the guitarist for Ozzy, and have your own project called Black Label Society. You've been voted the Most Valuable Guitar Player a few times, and its for obvious reasons. Your weapon is the pinch harmonic, and you use it in ways never before done. And you drink beer. A lot.

Heroes:

Willy

Stevie

Ronnie

Darrell

Mikey

Raymond Kurzweil

and Walker, Texas Ranger

Man, that is a badass picture.
