Influences:

All of the above bands/players.

Life Changing Gigs:

Metallica at Bradford St Georges Hall, September 1988. (And Justice For All tour), I couldn't hear a thing for 2 days! Me and a mate got tickets late and were a long way from the stage but it was still awesome, got the whole thing on a blue vinyl double LP bootleg a few weeks later . . . . .which was nice.

Pride and Glory at Bradford Rio's in early 90's. An amazing band with just the right balance between shred and great songs, great to see such chemistry in a small venue. Zakk Wyldes best work by a mile.
