I was raised on Classic country music - Johnny Cash, George Jones, Johnny Horton, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris and when I was 10 years old rolling my papers - I was a newspaper boy - I saw a TV commercial for the Rock Band KISS and it blew me away. I started out buying all of their albums and was in the KISS Army. From there I was into mostly rock, although in my 30 I began to appreciate my country roots more.
I listened to Alice Cooper, Elton John, Pink Floyd and then in my late teens and early 20s I really got into Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. Those three were probably the most influential to me and the most appreciated. But at that same time I began buying pretty much everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top. Aerosmith, Allman Brothers Band, Bad Company, Jeff Beck, Black Sabbath, Blondie, Pat Benatar, The Byrds, The Cars, Cheap Trick, CCR, The Doors, Eagles, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Guess Who, Guns 'n Roses Janis Joplin, Journey, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Lynryrd Skynryd, Eddie Money, Molly Hatchet, Motley Crue, Men At Work, Nazareth, Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, The Police, Quiet Riot, Rod Stewert, Izzy Stradlin, Robin Trower, Twisted Sister, U2, Van Halen, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughn, WASP ... Probably left a bunch out.
