Influences
Too many to list for the genre I play, but my lead guitar style is an orthodox JazzSpazzMetal influenced mix of Dave Murray, Marty Friedman, John Pizziarelli, James Murphy, Adrian Smith, Ben Weinman, Hendrix, David Gilmore, Gary Holt, Larry Lalonde, Chuck Shuldiner, Dave Mustaine, DIMEBAG, EVH, Paul Gilbert, Gary Hoey, HETFIELD! THE Overcast guys HARCORE and just Jazz, NWOBHM, NWOAHM, Thrash and Death Metal solo styles as a whole.
My written style is a spatic mix of Thrashy bits with MathCore interpretation, some breakdowns that end up going into Doom or Drone and Ambient. I WRITE HOOK RIFFS AND MELODIES! I can and have qeitteb most of the material in all my past bands sans Thunderfist where I just fronted
style is a bit like Geezer/HARRIS/Burton/Claypool/MikaHakki /etc.. Vocally Bruce Dickinson was my idol, I have the range of 1970s Halford, but with Bruce Dickinson and Howard Jones Tone, distorted vocal tones are odd but loosely influenced by Jeff Walker, Cronos, Trevor Strnad, Greg Puciato, and old tourmate Trevor Phipps. Oh, Definitely Mike Patton as well????
