LORD Tim, Flo, James Murphey, Yngwie Malmsteen, Mike Smith, Allan West, Herman Lee, Dave Mustain, King Diamond, Hank Sherman, John Petrucci, Stevie Vai, Van Halen, Janick Gers, Jeff Waters, Kerry King, Andy La'Rocque. Chuck Shculdiner and any other rad guitarist or musican who inspires me.
One of my favourite bands of all time is Death created by the great Chuck Schuldiner(R.I.P) I favour most forms of heavy metal but despise any of that metalcore crap. I also listen to blues or Jazz guitarists provided they are skillfull. I support the Australian metal scene whenever I can by buying there EPs/albums and going to shows whenever I can, a few of my favourite Australian bands are Lord and Hobbs' Angel of Death.
Old horror movies, old 80's action movies like Commando and Dirty harry. One of my favourite movies of all time is "This is Spinal Tap".
Lord Tim, John Petrucci, Yngwie Malmsteen all the other great shredders out there.
