Other muscians & fans of music in general. Or just cool people. Nikola Tesla, Ben Kenobi, & $1million. Anthony Bourdain would be fun to hang out with even if he does like punk rock better than Zeppelin. I won't hold it against him.
For starters: Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, The Mars Volta, Army of Anyone, Tool, ZZ Top, G'n'R, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers. Most of the classic stuff really. I'm also a big fan of some Goth/Industrial bands like Switchblade Symphony, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Marilyn Manson, NIN, and KMFDM. Radio Head, Stella, Willie Nelson, The Cult, Kansas, Tesla, early Def Leppard, Hank Williams (Sr. Jr. & III), The Reverend Horton Heat, Big Sandy, The Old 97's, Ditch Witch, Chris Kristofferson. Anything involving Zakk Wylde and/or Warren Haynes. Toto, Journey (Gregg Rolle era), the Meters, Herbie Hancock, Iron Maiden, Yes, Kid Rock, Stevie Ray Vaugh, Gary Moore, Anthrax.
Van Halen: Live w/o A net. This concert film changed my life and taught me what a rock band is supposed to be about. They are silly, intense, energetic, brilliant; singing and playing their asses off the whole show. They didn't edit out the mistakes and flubs, it's raw and real, which makes it a true picture of what a rock n' roll band should aspire to be. Star Wars (I - VI), Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Office Space, Ski School, Lethal Weapon 1, LOTR, The Departed, The Prestige, Notes on a Scandle, The Last King of Scotland, The Notorious Betty Page, .
Battlestar Galactica (the new one), The Sopranos. Anything on the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, or A&E. Reno 911!, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Scrubs, South Park, Deadliest Catch (Those guys are true hard asses).
Razorkill , Wizard: The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla, Slash, Everybody Wants Some: Van Halen Biography, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, LOTR series. Ender's Game and subsequent books. Many of the Star Wars expanded Universe books.
Outlaws, bad asses, and, innovators. Jedi are cool too.
