So, I was wondering who some of your
musical heros are. who you inspire to be.
Mine is Paul Simonon.
The bass player from The Clash
just his attitude and the fact that he didn't
even play the bass when he was offered a place in the band
Bono - U2 ... not just as a singer/musician but because of his involvement in world wide charities, etc
Dirty Ed - Because I like drinking beer and sitting by campfires alongside rivers, which he is known to do a lot of
Jim Croce - Because I like drinking scotch and B.S.ing friends, which he was known to do a lot of
James McCormack, because of his stylin' do and wry humor
Livingston Taylor, because he likes to do almost covers of sissified 70's folk/pop too
Johnny Cash - Do I really need to explain?
- Zurf
When I start playing guitar
I belive my influences shall be
Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie,
And of course Joe Strummer!
-Tron
good thread tron
I love the clash and I can understand why paul Simonon had inspired you.
I think the person that inspired me to play was probably clive williams from ac dc.
I started on bass guitar first.
Also, bruce foxton and bruce watson ( from the jam and big country)
I dont think anyone really inspired me to play the guitar.
but for songwriting, I am inspired from many and many different styles.
Ac/dc, syd barrett, roger waters, john prine, johhny cash, the corries, iron maiden, the pogues, eric bogle and a few others that I just canny think of right now.

NO my Granddad isn't famous (or Mick Jagger) he's called Mick Platt but he plays guitar and he's one of my influences. And my Uncle Ron is called Ron Geesin and he's kinda semi-famous but I doubt you know who he is. Look him up on wikipedia or something. I'm not related to the rest, which is a shame. 
I didn't mention Eric Clapton as an influence either, how could I forget him 
And NO I'm not a relative of him either. But I am related to Pete who won BigBrother a few years back
Hey Will your Uncle Ron quite a character I had a look at his website. I thought you were joking about his adjustble spanner collection.:lol: Seems I was wrong.
Anyway he looks a real interesting fellow.
