Who's your musical hero?

[Sam Hain]

Mine would have to go to a group of musicians from Delta Blues genre. Guys like Lone Wolf, Mississipi Fred, Son House, Robert Johnson and Dock Boggs. That's just to name a few. Without badass cats like this music today would so different and probably soulless.

 

[Bochafish]

Donald Fagen

 

[Skitch it!]

There is no 'one' for me, just 'music' in itself.

 

[Luckie]

Frank Zappa is a big deal for me.

 

[HaMMerHeD]

Musical Hero:

Beethoven

Bass Hero:

Wooten

Metal Hero:

Vortex

 

[champbassist]

Sting, great song writer, vocalist and bass player.

Definitely my hero too.

 

[JoZac21]

Bass hero = Nate Watts
Musical Hero = Miles Davis

When ever in doubt... WWMD?

 

[lunarpollen]

I have many bass influences and inspirations, but none I would call "heroes"

My musical heroes would probably be Roy Wood and Ray Nance, two completely unrelated musicians who I greatly admire for different musical reasons.

 

[BluesMan1]

Scores of musicians that inspire me, but most of them wouldn't be around if it weren't for:

John Hammond, and Leonard and Phil Chess.

 

[39-Bassist]

I would say:

Larry Norman - People
B.B. King - KING of Blues (of Course)
Phil Lynott - Thin Lizzy
Brian Wilson - Beach Boys

Just my 2 cents

 

[ShredderMaximus]

Musical Hero:

Metal Hero:

Vortex

Hell yeah! Too bad he left Dimmu, I loved his epic operatic style vocals!

 

[john_martin_sai]

For overall playing, creativity, versatilty, singing, songwriting, charisma, longevity, place in history,.....McCartney.

 

[Munjibunga]

Nathan East X 1023​

 

[macaroni tony]

Marvin Gaye, for his effortless musicality and voice

 

[IbanezSGfan]

Bass hero: Rob Trujillo. Just so much energy along with that talent and supporting members he gets he wins hands down for me. Now for the fun (piano player for 13 years) so... Tom Sholz on organ from Boston, Greg Rolie from Santana, Jordan Rudess from Dream theater, Elton John for his song writing ability, and Franz Liszt for an oldschool one

 

[The Last Rebel]

Definitely Henry Rollins and Greg Ginn. I can't think of anyone who's had a more profound effect on me musically than those two.

 

[HaMMerHeD]

Hell yeah! Too bad he left Dimmu, I loved his epic operatic style vocals!

Yeah, he's brilliant. Dimmu Burger just isn't the same without him. Agnete does great work on Gateways, but there is still a big element missing from the rest of the album.

 

[john_g]

Mine would be a little feller by the name of Gary Weinrib.

 

[tdub0199]

David Gilmour...

 

[AltGrendel]

Too many to mention them all, but the first thing that come to my mind is anyone in Yes that worked on the Fragile album. Anyone of the Beatles or ELP, but the list goes on forever.
