When i was a kid. It was whatever my mom listened to, which was country. Which i must say has had a great impact on what I listen to today. Then i was listening to Country mixed with classic rock (the Eagles, The Travelling Wilburys, Elvis Presley, the Beatles...ect). From there, i discovered at the age of nine, what is still my favourite genre of music, Hard Rock. Starting with KISS then STYX (Saw them a few months ago, good show) then AC/DC. At age 10, I was confused, i went from Hard Rock to Disco, to whatever my sister was listening to (Boy Bands and the Spice Girls) then back to Hard Rock, then to Soft Rock, then country, then country rock, then to Heavy Metal (King Diamond). And it has been a mixture of that up until grade 9. When being a high school freshman, i met my greatest musical influence, a creepy dude with an endless collection of creepy music named Jessie Sieben. He was and still is my hero for getting kicked out of every school assembly by screaming "GOD IS DEAD" (i go to a catholic high school despite not being catholic). He introduced me to the Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Rodan, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and other Alt/punk/grunge bands that I never heard of. In turn, i got him into videogames, so it was win/win.
Lately, ive been listening to Iron Maiden, every Hair band i can get my hands on, Def Leppard (STYX opened for them, and STYX put on a better show) TOOL, The Smashing Pumpkins, the Pixies, Pink Floyd and Tenacious D (a very dangerous amount of Tenacious D i might add).
So thats it.
