Couple of Jeff Beck fans. Cool. I am too. Saw him in person about 1970 and it was unbelievably good. Trivia test - Who is the famous singer that sings "I Ain't Superstitious" on Jeff Beck's Truth? (please do not use google.) Sorry for being off-topic. Same dude who sings the rest of the record, Rod Stewart of course!

Fugazi Plenty of others out there for musical inspiration I draw from but they put out so much amazing music and had the politics and integrity to match. They set the bar for independent rock bands and are kind and generous humans to boot. Not to mention, I saw them lots of times and would travel to the ends of the earth to see them perform again (though I’m sure it will never happen). No band before or since even came close to making me feel the same way. This is embarrassing to admit, but I never really got around to listening to Fugazi. I know I should, though. I was very into Rites Of Spring and Minor Threat when I was younger. I definitely wasn’t open to them when I was first getting into punk. I definitely saw them first hoping they would play a minor threat cover! But as I broadened my horizons just a little bit, I was hooked! Even for folks who didn’t love them recorded, I’d bet they were impressive, nonetheless. Some of their later stuff didn’t resonate with me, but I still would never miss a chance to see them. And I honestly think In on the Killtaker is a perfect record

BTW, I think Jeff Beck sings some on it and some others on backups. But you are basically correct.

One of my best friends, is good friends... With Los Lobos and The Mavericks. Eventually, he wants me to meet/hang out with them. That'd be awesome! Chris I hope they have a good sense of humor and love pro audio jokes! Thanks! I was able to crack Warren Huart and Jack Douglas up. Some of it on purpose! Chris

my lifelong influences:
Michael Jackson- Off the wall was what my mom listened to when I was toddler (also queen/rod Stewart/bee gees). Thriller was my elementary school record. So by default I’m also influenced by Rod Temperton / Heatwave / Quincy / Swedien
Metallica- When I was learning guitar my cousin gave me the first 3 albums on TAB. I learned every Kirk Hammet solo good enough to play it once, then forgot it.
Beatles/Paul McCartney wings- my stepdad did the household Paul McCartney show on the loud HiFi turntable, every single day for at least an hour, from ages 8-18. Complete with historical insight, and you have to check out the record covers.. white album, Sgt Peppers were on all the time. Wings. He also had every other cool original record too so I also got to hear everything awesome 60s-80s.
