LEGACY - By Rob Grant and orchestration by DOCTOR C
GARY CARCIELLO - LEAD GUITARS
DOCTOR C - ALL KEYBOARDS, ORCHESTRATION
Influences: from the first I heard Yea, Yea, Yea..............I was hooked on rock. The British Invasion of the 60's drove me right to the guitar store. Though I loved the Beatles more than any, it was Dave Clark 5's song - "Anyway You Want It", that did me in. My first concert was Herman's Hermits and Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders.
Now, on the groups and music. I remained in Rock Mode and followed musical history through the Amboy Duke's, Ultimate Spinach, Vanilla Fudge, The Byrds, Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos, The Yardbirds to Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Doors, The MOVE (Roy Wood was the man!!) Jeff Beck, Jeff Beck, and Jeff Beck!!! I was a young metal head.......Gun, Three Man Army, Spontaneous Combustion, Budgie, Hard Stuff, Cactus and on through Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Atomic Rooster, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, ELP etc.
It was at this point I heard "FOXTROT".....DONE!! I was a Genesis nut. I saw every concert tour from Selling England thru Abacab. YES: I remember buying the Yes album titled YES. I got it home, listened and thought these guys are great, but I don't like female vocals. WOW! was I surprised HAHHAHAHa! Anyway, YES was another favorite. Then I bought Gentle Giant - Three Friends on a recommendation from a friend......DONE IN AGAIN!!! I was fortunate to see them twice, once alone and once with Robin Trower. OK............Return to Forever........Mahavishnu. Well, at the time I was working in a record store and I had access to whatever looked interesting. All I can say is, I have a huge collection of "Fusion" from all over the world (70's and 80's)
This is my influence.
As a guitar player, I loved Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, David Gilmore, Andy Lattimer, Steve Hackett, Roine Stolt, Neal Morse, Nick Barrett, and many more.
As a bass player, Paul McCartney was my favorite, because of his melodic, filling bass lines. BUT!! I can't leave out Jeff Berlin, Tony Levin, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Percy Jones, Stanley Clarke, Billy Sheehan, Stephen Amazing (UPP) and many others.
Drummers: .. ..1 Always - Bill Bruford, then Ian Paice, Phil Collins, John Bonham, Carmine Appice, Peter Erskine, Michael Walden, Mike Portnoy, and a few more.
Keyboards: Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Keith Jarrett, Tony Banks and others.
CURRENT FAVORITES:ROINE STOLT: GUITAR, FLOWER KINGS AND MORE.... NICK BARRETT: GUITAR AND VOCALIST, PENDRAGON
Sounds Like: I'm stuck in the 70's!!! It's funny, I feel like my 27 year musical retirement, froze me in time. I have to laugh......... I hope I can catch up to the 2000's
Type of Label: None
