There are some people out there who don’t see me being a metal head. Why is metal my favorite genre of music? Not only that it’s inspiring and helps make you feel like a better person, I enjoy metal ’cause that genre has the best guitar playing. I’ve been listening to this genre ever since I was a child and I think it was Twisted Sister’s, “Stay Hungry “, album that introduced me to the genre. Then later, I got into Sabbath, AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, etc. All those bands from the 80’s. I did listen to all the 90’s grunge metal. Yes, I did listen to a little bit of death & black metal as well.

A lot of my own songwriting is metal inspired. I get a lot of my own song ideas, by borrowing a little bit from other bands. Metal continues to inspire my songwriting. I can not sing like a metal singer and can’t growl like one, that’s why I just play regular hard rock, get what I’m saying? I get all my inspiration from Led Zep, they’re my no. 1. I’ll never get tired of being a huge Led Zep fan and will never get tired of listening to their stuff. I also love Slayer & Iron Maiden. I also like Lamb of God, the Sword, and Megadeth.

I have been to metal concerts before and seen some local metal bands as well.

I know it’s hard for people to tell what genre of music I listen to. People thought I listened to country & folk just because I play an acoustic guitar. I do listen to country & folk, but not that much. I mostly listen to metal. I enjoy regular rock n’ roll too.

Anything with great guitar playing, it’s most likely I’ll be a fan of.
