if you want to follow another person's footsteps that's your prerogative and more power to you. it stopped being 'my' thing years ago, around the time i stopped having the opportunity to keep obsessing on what my 'influences' were doing and how they were handling their music.

you heard my music, how much of it sounds like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, old school RHCP or QOTSA?

don't call me a liar because i've grown away from my influences and recognized that change as the origin of my own personal style.
