i think with metallica it was more that i was obsessed with their music + that was the first double bass i had heard and it was very

then i started listening to meshuggah and fear factory and going "yeah i love metallica but lars isn't great"

when i was a little angsty teen listening to marilyn manson i heard a really cool bass line from twiggy and that made me want to play bass

my brother told me i should get a guitar instead and i eventually got into metallica and megadeth and all those guitarists made me want to be able to play like them

Definitely Metallica as they were my first love ever in the entirety of music itself. I personally still get chills whenever I listen to Enter Sandman or Master of Puppets, no matter how 'overplayed' they may be to the tr00 and kvlt metalheads as I always think "Man, where would I be without these songs". I definitely learned my chops from Metallica. Other notable influences for me are Slayer, Sepultura, Testament, Pantera, and Megadeth.

I also wanted to be Tommy Lee when I was 10.

Then around 12 I wanted to be Mick Mars. Then a bit later Vince.

Then I heard FNM and wanted to play for real and be like Bill Gould.

first it was drums, then guitar.

trey, vai, satriani, malmsteen, scorpions and rutan were my idols back then.

See the comments? Everyone calling him a douche.

I think he come across nice.

Like he's mature now.

And feels blessed to be able to do what he does.

Yes! Hetfield was definitely a big inspiration as well.

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 14 Feb 2014, 21:39

james definitely seems like a mature, approachable, and nice fellow, compared to the first 20 years of metallica's existence

he also seems like a hard-on bearer who is super excited to sit around and write riffs all day

so

to all of that

When I was a lad, it was definitely Jimmy Page and Bob Dylan. When I actually began to play at 15, it was Thurston Moore. I wouldn't be that inspired again until I discovered Trey Azagthoth and again upon hearing Ihsahn and Samoth.

Hendrix also played a big part in there.
