all of the above. Dream Theater is amazing and I never miss a show if I can help it. Queensryche I like, but haven't listened to them since Empire. Maiden rules, of course -- I'm counting the days till the new album comes out. Metallica is kind of meh these days, but the old skool stuff was great.

Since my band got a vocalist, we've gotten heavier -- we do a Testament cover every now and then, one from a band called Grip, Inc. (side project of Dave Lombardo that's less demonic than Slayer), some Megadeth (I should've put them up top of my list -- they're the most bestest metal ever). We fool around with Wrathchild from the early Maiden days. We were toying around with a Ratt song, too, but I think we've crossed a line somewhere that precludes music by Ratt from making the setlist. Something about being physically assaulted by your audience.

I shouldn't have gotten started trying to list these. I just thought of about 5 more that we play in practice that never see the light of day. Oh well.





edit: as to influences, they're all up there too. I copy Eric Peterson when playing rhythm cuz he has the most disgusting right-hand technique ever when it comes to heavy playing. For lead stuff, I have tons of heroes, none of whom I can remotely approach in skill. So I just kind of do my thing.

sweeeeeet... Iron Maiden was my first real concert (The wallflowers dont count...billy joel was great, but until you see a "real" band you havent been to a "real" concert)... Once I saw them in concert (I wasnt as into their music at first) I was totally hooked... Then after that I saw Dream Theater and Queesnryche and PErfect Circle... Best evenings EVER.. I wish I wasnt so broke or Id go to more shows...

I think I enjoy Dream Theater And Queensryche the most because the songs are in my vocal range. I love singing... but the stuff out today outside of broadway is all runs and know feeling and substance...I love singing along with these albums... My car cd sleeve looks very strange... it has Oliver (auditioned for the show last weeked) LEs Mis, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Maiden, Billy Joel, The Sound Track to Les Choristes, The Used... etc... a very wide range of genres... Im weird...

I couldnt really pck any group or person that influenced me.. I just love it all and sing in any style that I can manage.
