Fixed.

Technically greatest electric guitarist who ever lived IMO.

Some would argue Guthrie as that crown holder, but yes. He was very indulgent, but rightly so.



Just masterful.

My style is very varied, I don't like sticking to one style.. so my influences are very different.

People like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Lana Del Rey, Marina & The Diamonds, Rihanna, Britney Spears & Lily Allen are my biggest infleunces.

Although I can also play guitar and bass, I consider myself a drummer first and foremost. I've always loved drummers who are all about groove and serving the song. Although I respect the hell out of their chops and talent, I can't stand guys like Mike Portnoy, Joey Jordison, and all those other metal drummers who overplay everything. Punk was my first love and that what got me motivated to play music, so I love all the great Punk drummers like Paul Cook, Jerry Nolan, Bill Stevenson, Lucky Lehrer, and Tommy and Marky Ramone. I'm also a hug fan of and heavily influenced by Ringo and Steven Adler as well.

As a I'd have to say:

Neil Peart ( Rush ).

A.J. Pero ( Twisted Sister ).

Stewart Copeland ( The Police ).

Peter Criss ( KISS ).

Tommy Aldridge ( Particularly during his stint with Ozzy Osbourne in the 80's ).

It should be said that I'm a drummer who cares about the SONGS first and foremost. Still, no = NO ! But I digress ( ).
