Definitely Vai...played a white Universe back in 1991 and started saving right then and there. Didn't get one till 1999.

My close-minded lead guitarist. He thought they were too "nu-metal" (whatever that means). Probably a reference to the band KoRn, whom he absolutely hated. Seemed kinda dumb to base a judgment on something like that though, but at the time he was unwilling to bend and I didn't feel the need to push the issue.

Needless to say, I didn't acquire one right away, but I could never shake the idea of having one and eventually decided that 7 was the direction I wanted to head in. So, yah....

Dino C. and Jeff Loomis were the primary reason I got into them though. After I picked one up, I began to realize just how many people out there had them. Guess I finally found a reason to take the blinders off. When that happened, I felt just ignorant as the guy who insisted I don't get one.

Do we have a "jackass" icon?

DINO, DINO, DINO! Obsolete was the first FF album I spun thanks to my friend Zephania (wherever he may be). At that time, I was 18, with two Jacksons and no sense whatsoever. I had a mental breakdown over tryin to tune to B and still have an intonated Guitar! I finally cracked and sold both of em, bought a $40 Squier, and modified the bridge to be able to intonate (somewhat).
It was '05 when I finally got a credit card, so I went straight to Sam Ash and Got the AX7221. I had never successfully written ANY music until I had a 7 stringer in my hands!

Well, back in the day around 98 or 99, i never really listened to any bands who played 7s, until I ran into a band called "Flaw", and they changed my life forever. It wouldnt be until 2006 that i finally took the plunge to buy one. By then my influences were basically Trapt, Flaw, KoRn, but the main reason i picked up the 7 was Flaw.

I know i know, most you folks dont dig NuMetal, but hey, their my favs not yours, hahaha.

Lance from Flaw was my main reason i wanted to get a 1077XL, and when i got it, my hands found their best friend.

Ror3h · 01-25-2008, 05:52 PM

Meshuggah.

ire_works · 01-25-2008, 10:36 PM

cannbal corpse's album KILL teaching me people and crazy enough to tune down to Ab standard.

watching Rusty Cooley on those Guitars Suck videos pick-raping my ears.

but mostly it was my lust for that "Thud Thud , Whiddly Whiddly , Thud Thud , Whiddly Wah!" sound to come out of my amp.Hearing bands like The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza , Arsonists Get All The Girls , and Beneath The Massacre use sweeping in riffs made me want to add more technical playing into the brutality of my playing.

...

..and of course , more thud thud.

Martin_777 · 01-27-2008, 09:04 AM

Steve Vai, Jeff Loomis, Dino Cazares, the guys from Meshuggah & Nocturnal Rites
