I like many kinds of music, but my passion is for OLD-SCHOOL HEAVY METAL Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, DIO, Van Halen (Dave Era), Dream Theater, Badlands, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, STEELHEART, Lynch Mob.. To many to mention!

I am also a Huge BADLANDS fan! Jake E. Lee's band after Ozzy.
Sad that Ray Gillen died - one of the best Rock Vocalists in my opinion from the 80's - early 90's and a homeboy from Long Island. Big influence on my singing style.
More CLASSIC Rock Bands - Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Bad Company, Rainbow, Deep Purple, RUSH, The Doors, Beatles, Stones etc..
Guitarist - Jimmy Page, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Jake E. Lee, John Petrucci, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith
Vocals - Ray Gillen, Robert Plant, Bruce Dickinson, Chris Cornell,Miljenko Matijevic,Magnus from the Quill! Paul Rodgers...and that guy from Shinedown is clearly the best new rock vocalist around!
Other non hard rock - Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Peter Frampton - listen to the guitar work on "Frampton Comes Alive", Sade (yes Sade..!)
More Modern 90s till Today bands - Shinedown, Audioslave, Wolfmother, The Quill, Disturbed, STP, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, LIVE, Seal, Kelly Clarkson (yes I think she is f'n great)
...and finally one of the best rock vocals on record has got to be Chris Cornell on the Temple of the Dog CD...Chris is clearly the best rock vocalist on the planet. Another notable is Ray Gillen on all Badlands records..also Mike Matijevic of Steelheart on the Rockstar Soundtrack, Jeff Scott Soto on Yngwie Malmsteen's 1st record, Old Journey with Steve Perry
Best Soundtrack? - Singles - amazing record..Pearl Jam, AIC, Mother Love Bone...listen to "Chloe Dancer"
Props to the "Rockstar" Soundtrack...We all Die Young!
Favorite Lyrics to a song...RUSH - "Something For Nothing" from 2112 says it all and these are words to live by:
Something For Nothing
Waiting for the winds of change To sweep the clouds away Waiting for the rainbow's end To cast its gold your way Countless ways You pass the days
Waiting for someone to call And turn your world around Looking for an answer to The question you have found Looking for An open door
You don't get something for nothing You don't get freedom for free You won't get wise With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be
What you own is your own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story In your head is the answer Let it guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your own song
