Influences: Musical influences? My first exposure to true music mastery would probably be listening to the first Van Halen self-titled album when I was around 11 with my buddy Troy. Until then, I had listened to music, but never really LISTENED to it. I was intrigued and influenced at that time, especially to learn the guitar. I bought a 65 Gibson SG and a new Yamaha 60 watt amp and began fumbling my way around the frets, learning Deep Purple, Ratt, AC/DC, and most of the late '70's and early '80's hair-band stuff. As of late, I have been influenced by many of the new indie bands that are truely doing it their way. I also enjoy The Killers, The Strokes, The Vines, The Bravery, VHS or Beta, The Bangkok Five, to name a few.
