i don't really have idols but some people i really admire for being wonderful musicians:

- andre olbrich (Blind Guardian) - extreme emotional and good guitar player. and amazing composer
- jonas renkse / blakkheim - both wonderful musicians. esp. last fair deal gone down is imo a musical masterpiece.
- danny cavanagh - is writing unbelievable emotional music...
- steven wilson

besides metal:

villa lobos - great composer
my guitar teacher

only to mention few..

He wasn't my idol, but I loved him as a guitar player. Dimebag Darrell.
I'm already missing him, I can't believe he's gone... damn.

Dan Swanö ist my idol. Maybe idol is not the right word. I respect him very much.
Not only as a musician, but as a recording guy and a multi-instrumentalist. That's pretty much what I am and I aim for. Not that I want to be him, but you know...
And I had the luck to meet him two times. First time at his homecity Örebro and then at a concert in Holland. It's so cool that beside his abilitys he's such a nice guy.

I don't really have idols, but there are people I admire: Jello Biafra, Edgar Allen Poe, Wendy O. Williams, Jim Morrison, Siouxie Sioux, Glenn Danzig, etc.

Sexy_Grandpa · February 12th, 2005, 04:05 AM

Mikael Akerfeldt and the members of Tool

Damnationx · February 12th, 2005, 08:22 AM

I'm gonna have to go with the guys who said they don't have idols. I agree, I respect musicians a ton, but I don't have idols.

Who i'd like to meet?

Mikael Akerfeldt, Steven Wilson, Blakkheim, Devin Townsend, Andreas Hedlund (Vintersorg) and Alexi Laiho (uh oh, here come the tomatoes).

Admittedly, i'd be a little nervous about meeting Akerfeldt, just because Opeth is my favorite band. But I would just treat him like a normal guy, and I really think bands appreciate that.
