JUDAS PRIEST
Heavy Metal music in it's purest form, I know of no other band that does Metal better than Judas Priest.

MEGADETH
I usually hate seeing member changes within bands, but in this case, I'm very glad that Dave Mustain departed from Metalica many years ago to form the band Megadeth. Another one of my all time favorite bands, I can't imagine a world with Heavy Metal music that did not include that of Megadeth! The more I see polititicians doing crooked crap, the more I appreciate the political flavoring of Megadeth music.

IRON MAIDEN
Heavy Metal and then some. Iron Maiden is the most technically proficient Metal band anywhere. They're song lyrics are often lessons from history, great battles and such or just elaborate poetry combined with the most complicated arrangements you can imagine.

METALLICA
Many Metallica fans divide themselves into one of two catagories, old Metallica or new Metalica. I, on the other hand, like every record that they have ever produced (old or new). Some people call Metallica a sell-out. To those I say, yea, they sell out eveywhere they play. Bite me!

CHEAP TRICK
The first drum riff I ever learned was the one that begins "I want you to want me" from Cheap Trick back in the late 1970's. Cheap Trick is known for putting on the best stage show of anyone. I don't typically like "Rock n Roll" bands but I love Cheap Trick! I saw them around 1980 and I've been trying to see them again ever since but my schedule and circumstances never seem to allow it. Sigh... one of these days.

TWISTED SISTER
What an amazing band is Twisted Sister! Music that rocks, is also remarkably positive and the band is led by a big, sick muther fkeucr who had the balls to take a stand against censorship during the now infamous congressional hearings on the matter of heavy metal song lyrics! Dee Snider Kicks Ass!!

DREAM THEATER
If Iron Maiden is the most technically proficient Heavy Metal band out there, then Dream Theater is the most technically proficient Rock Band out there. Here's a rock band who's primary following is other musicians. That's how good these guys are; super amazing!

TED NUGENT
How do you even begin to describe Ted Nugent? The Motor City Mad Man himself. The rock star big enough to kill and eat other rock stars for breakfast. Larger than life presense on stage, playing the most kick ass, rock n roll on the planet, gun nut, hunter, political activist, life member of the NRA and a great American! All hail Uncle Ted!!

DEF LEPPARD
I think Def Leppard is arguably the greatest band of all time. I'm not saying this because they are my favorite band or because I think they are better at playing their instruments better than anyone else. I feel that they are the greatest band of all time because they have overcome the greatest of obstacles, demonstrated an endurance greater than any other band I can think of and remained the best of friends through it all.(Almost 30 years now) How many bands do you know who are willing to put three years into one song in order to get it perfect? (Song: Animals) All the band members sing (very well I might add), their lead singer plays guitar well enough to have written a number 1 smash hit (Song: Pour Some Sugar On Me.) Their Bass guitar player also plays regular guitar well enough to contribute to the song writing process. Def Leppard is truly a remarkable band.

GUITAR STUFF: Even though I don't own a drum set and I don't really play much any more, I still consider myself to be a drummer because when I did play, I was pretty good. I feel a real sense of accomplishment because I was able to sit in with other bands in various night clubs and do just fine. I could have gone PRO but I'm allergis to smoke and I really don't like smokey bars, so I never did. I do occasionally get the opportunity to play other people's drum sets and I have taught at least a couple of people how to play.

Since the days that I did play drums, I have owned guitars off and on. When I was in high school, I had plenty of time to practice the drums and that is how I was able to get good. But as a guitar owner, I've always had to make a living and never really dedicated the time to get equally good at playing the guitar.

These days, I never tell people that I am a guitar player because I don't want to set any expectations in their mind for my ability to play. I just tell people that I am a collector and that I don't really know how to play. Especially since the guitars that I currently own are pretty nice.

My guitar collection has evolved over the years. At first, I started off with the cheapest guitars I could find in the local music stores or in pawn shops, but now I have moved up to the quality of Epiphone and Gibson, Les Paul model electric guitars. I also have a Schecter, electric, 5-string Bass guitar.

The list that follows is for my beneft, so that I can easilly find it, but I don't mind if you see it too. These are the songs that I want to learn how to play on the guitar.
