Tool are my all time favorite band. Picked up the guitar because of them. Learned how to play most of their catalog. Would be awesome to record my covers.
I play guitar and the band that got me interested is Metallica and more importantly Kirk Hammett. His guitar playing is second to none. There have been many other musical influences in my life but to still have the same one today as I did when I picked up the guitar at 14 says alot about that band!!
My dad! Bought me my first guitar before I was 5, and I followed into his footsteps playing bass for local bands about 7 years ago. I can't wait to get the adapter to connect my instruments to my iPhone and use GarageBand!
Believe it or not, I'd be using this for spoken-word/performance poetry. muMs was a major influence on my style, with his incorporation of vocal sound effects and expressive miming (obviously the miming won't do much for me in GarageBand). Christine Hume's combo chapbook/CD Lullaby has given me some great ideas involving multitrack vocals.
