What famous artist inspired you to start playing music?

KevBrock	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 10:24 PM What are your famous influences? Me? It all started with Led Zeppelin. I was 18 years old when I first heard Led Zeppelin. I think it was "Stairway" that was the first song I've heard by them, I was blown away. When I bought Led Zeppelin IV, I kept playing the album over and over and over again. After that, I've kept buying the rest of the Led Zeppelin CD's until I have collected all of their studio albums which I had. I am a die hard fantatic of Led Zeppelin. I'll never get tired of their music. I LOVE ALL ZEPPELIN SONGS!!!! It's Jimmy Page's guitar playing that amazes me. He's the main reason that I wanted to start playing guitar. He is my favorite guitar player ever and still is. I like all the work Jimmy Page did outside of Zeppelin, like with his tour with the Black Crowes, "Walking Into Clarksdale" album with Robert Plant, The Yardbirds, The Firm, etc. Jimmy Page is just flat out amazing and he's insane playing live. Now that Jimmy Page is almost 60, the man can still rock. Jimmy Page is my main hero in music. Without Led Zeppelin, I wouldn't be here in dmusic so thank god for them. My other inspirations in music: David Bowie, Bob Dylan, U2, and The Beatles. These days, I'm mostly listening to country and classic rock. Country music is heavily influencing me right now. I've been getting into country music big time. I would have to say Johnny Cash is another inspiration too.
tullamoredew	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 10:58 PM Matchbox 20- Yourself or Someone Like You Counting Crows- August and Everything After Counting Crows- Recovering the Satellites Third Eye Blind (self-titled) Dave Matthews Band- Crash These were the albums that made me want to become a singer/songwriter. I always sat up late at night in my room listening to these CDs over and over again, dreaming of learning to sing and play guitar so I can do what they do. Now I sit on my bed after shows, listening to these albums over and over, the same dreams run through my head... tullamoredew.dmusic.com obey your thirst... or something.
