Answer 1

My singing and lyrics in songwriting are influenced by a lot of people. The only artists I can name off the top of my head are Pink Floyd (a lot of them contribute to their lyrics), Bon Scott (AC/DC back in the day, R.I.P.), Steve Miller and Rob Plant. It's basically consisted of stable scale-friendly singers for the most part.

As for my guitar music it's heavily influeneced by Metallica for the moment. I use a lot of F minor when playing the guitar so I naturally find myself playing "Smells Like Teen Sprit" whenever my mind wanders off (not to mention it's usually in drop-D tuning). My guitar playing also resembles 3 Doors Down, some Eagles and Lynyrd Skynynrd and also some Chevelle (I use a Schecter just like Pete in most of their works)
