Metallica, specifically James Hetfield, was very important to my journey into music. I played trombone in band class throughout school, and I always had this interest, but when I heard Metallica, I began to know what it was that I was into, musically. I always liked my dad's rock n roll records but that was all I knew about what music I liked. I quit band class when I really started to get serious about guitar and I studied Metallica as a way to teach myself to play the things I wanted to play. I didn't know that's what I was doing at the time, but that's what happened anyway. When I started to get to the point where I felt like I couldn't absorb anything new/useful to me from them, I started to look to other people/bands to glean from. Obviously Megadeth was the next step from there lol...SRV got me going too...but Metallica was the beginning in earnest, for me personally.

I don't actually listen to them that often anymore but I still love Metallica. I mean, ya gotta love Metallica...

Definitely!
It took me a little while to get into those guys. Phil's vocals were pretty different from the stuff I was listening to at the time.

Nowadays I get my ass to the very front to see my favorite heavy bands!

Dime has influenced my playing as much as Hetfield has, at this point.

Not that I'm any good or anything, but being a self taught player just doing his best to emulate his heroes, he's definitely one of those heroes I try to emulate lol
