first song you heard that blew your mind, changed your life, or made you kick ass

[Spicoli]

To go absolutely simple, all of the old shit I still listen to. In different styles and first time as a kid. Hendrix are you experienced blew my mind. Beastie boys Paul Revere. Black Sabbath Planet Caravan. Exploited Alternative, SOD United Forces, Marley Marl The Symphony, Madness One step beyond, Son House grinning in your face, Skynyrd Simple Man, this could go on a while. Music is in the moment. Today it was Ozzy over the mountain that left a trail of arses kicked

I had to really think about this. Growing up hearing only R & B & Funk- I was blown away literally when I heard a song called Fly Like an Eagle- and it wasn't a black band. The music, lyrics, man.



As a kid- I was a total funkateer- George Clinton, Parliament. Then a protégée of their bass player Bootsy brought out a band called Zapp featuring Roger Troutman. The bass line was like nothing we'd ever heard. The voice box- that only Peter Frampton had used- and sparingly. More Bounce to the Ounce -if U ask any person who loves funk: was the pinnacle of Funk, bass and groove.

The first guitar solo I'd ever heard- after this- I KNEW I wanted a guitar. Slide by Slave.

solo about 2 minutes in.
