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 :shock:



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

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 :bang:

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.

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

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 :xx: 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.
