Music:
FIRST and FOREMOST, music is the foundation on which im able to plant my feet every single day. If it weren't for the ample supply of great music in this world, im not sure id be the person i am today. Music also allows me to express myself creatively while also providing an outlet for my various emotions every time i pick up my axe. I thank creation that music was discovered for without it, this world would be a lot worse off than we are now.
My favorite music is ROCK... of the METAL Variety! I like MOST forms of rock.
There are to many bands that i love to name them all. But my top 3 are TooL, CkY and DethkloK.
Im actually pretty open to most forms of music. I like classical (Clint Mansell, John Ottman, Danny Elfman, John Williams, Kronos Quartet, The Divine Comedy), indie-pop music (Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor, Nerina Pallot), folk country (Willie Nelson, Chris Kristopherson, Johnny Cash), classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors), acoustic work (Tenacious D, Jack Johnson, Lindsay Buckingham) and one of my favorite ODD tastes is J-Rock... Japanese Rock bands (The Pillows, the Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Bump of Chicken).
What it really comes down to is just what my ear tells me i like...
