O/T Who’s your favourite musician of all time

[Ragman_kd]

Doesn’t have to be in the metal scene, just someone you really admire and give a reason why.

Mine is Mike Oldfield, the guy who wrote Tubular Bells. He’s such a great musician, plays a ton of instruments, and writes some cool music.
My brother-in-law played on T.B 2 so I had the chance to meet him, and all I can say is he’s such a great guy. Made me feel welcome at the rehearsal, answered all my questions, and made me feel like my opinion’s about his music really mattered. How many other musician’s would take that kind of time over someone they had never met before especialy during a rehersal.

Mine is Mike Oldfield, the guy who wrote Tubular Bells.

Awesome choice - I grew up listening to "Tubular Bells" and wore out my parents' copy of that record. Still one of my favorite CDs to date.

Too many for me to name - top five, in no order, I can think of off the top of my head are:

Steve Miller (first memory was hearing "The Joker")
Jimmy Page
Bill Evans (jazz piano)
Lemmy
... and I gotta throw Andrea Bocelli in there. I hate opera, but I heard him sing on the Grammys once, and his voice is just amazing. Ruins my street cred (like I ever had any)...

 

[Dr.TEETH]

Dr. Teeth from The Electric Mayhem

 

[DiscipleOfThePit]

The first name that comes to mind is Chuck Schuldiner purely because he never seemed to be part of a band as such... he was always the man in Death.

 

[prime666]

Johnny Cash or Greg Graffin.

 

[Jockthrax]

George Harrison.....

 

[dutchy]

Mike Ness
Scott Ian
Lou Kohler

 

[Crabmeat]

Walter Schreifels
Scott
Dan Lilker
Evan Dando

 

[Mouth4War]

Darrell Abbott

frank bello

[Arg_Hamster]

Frank Mills... if you don´t like Frank Mills don´t listen to music!

Oh, and Bill Steer.

 

[darkoratt]

Mustaine +
so many more......
Yes! some guys from Anthrax too... :Spin:
It is impossible to pick one.

 

[Rich]

Frank Zappa

 

[spacebeer]

Angus Youg, Rob Halford, Tony Iommi and Tom Angelripper

 

[Mickenglanduk]

Brian May from Queen. The best guitar player in the world because he is so original.

 

[Ragamuffin]

Tom Waits

or Dan The Automator

 

[MyHatred]

Dan The Automator

Did you happen to hear Head Automatica? I thought that album had some serious potential but was disappointed by both Daryl and Dan. I like Dan the Automator quite a bit and I loved Glassjaw's EYEWTKAS, but I thought that Head Automatica's whole album was pretty weak.


Some of my fav's would be
Gene and Dean Ween
Maynard(Aenima era)
Zach Hill (amazing drummer)
Neil Fallon
Mike Patton

 

[DarbysDad]

Julio

 

[MyHatred]

I'm afraid I can't deny my love for Fred Durst...
