First Ever Band that Inspired you To Take on Your Instrument

[fletchman]

David Gilmore.... Pink Floyd.. The solo of Dogs from "Animals" really made me get my Axe... (shows my age too)

 

[thailoverboy]

poison

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

Wow, fletchman, David Gilmour fan eh? The David Gilmour solo that did it in for me was the 2 solos in "Money".

 

[80s_people]

Tesla

 

[Gr3y]

nobody starts music here by listening to chinese music??

Mayday?

I'm a big fan of mayday, they are one of the main reason y i am playing guitar 2day.. of coz there is the japanese dir en grey that got me real crazy about distortion lead solo.. lol..


btw, juz back from Mayday Jump World Tour 2007! Gotta say its a freaking good show! even dream theater or malmsteen can't win thier stage presence and power that they transmit to the fans by music! Amazing!!

 

[Bas]

The Beatles!!! :lol:

 

[bouncychu]

i started cause of an anime lol or was it x japan. I DONT KNOW it was a mix of both X= beck and x japan.

 

[christoh]

definitely the Beatles for me. Watched them on TV, i think it was the Live at Shea Stadium concert or A Hard Day's Night movie, with all those screaming girls, and thought: "Now that's a good job!"

Abandoned my piano for a classical guitar 'cos couldn't afford electric. Mucho later got my first electric...!

 

[Reth]

Blink-182 for me too! First song- what went wrong

 

[reyrey]

Gr3y: wow,thats a strong statement bro,mayday fans would likely shout 'hell yeah!!' when they read your post,but hardcore malmsteen fans would track your ip adress n get your real adress to beat you up in real life,get what im trying to say? :lol: :lol: it's all based on personal preference

 

[BleedsNoMore]

[Paperback]

NIRVANA

3 chords, a red guitar, and a dream...

 

[amnesiac]

GN'R and Skid Row

[AllenLeonidas]

The White Stripes.
Easy but that doesn't mean it's not a big success.

 

[Chopin]

The Beatles. And Oasis.

 

[yellowStrat]

For me it was Red Hot Chilli Peppers who influnced me esp Flea... His bass riffs made me learn the bass first....
