I love United. I wish I could write songs half as good as that. That stuff really got me back into worship music and playing again.

Boring but Dave Gilmour. At 11 years old playing a wooden ruler for the solo of another brick in the wall pt 2.

Ah, that explains your obsession with the Fender Stratocaster.

Dave Gilmour and SRV are also responsible for my Stratocaster obsession.

Bruce Springsteen and Keef Richards are responsible for my Telecaster obsession

Gilmour! Anyone who can make such pompous, overblown, simple and mundane music sound so utterly essential must be a god.

EVH in the Jump video. That bit where he raises his finger just before the solo like "Now watch this..."
