Hmm..  Lets start with influence, considering it's pretty much the main reason why everyone here is Kompoz'n anyways, heh.  I myself am heavily influenced by the movement of a guitar within any given rock song that does any of the following: gives me chills, commands me to bang my head, reminds me of girl, or simply just intrigues me and inspires me to do the same with mine.  I am addicted to GUITAR, BASS, and DRUMS that melt together to form a powerful and dynamic force that pushes the actual mood through rock-music.  Most of all, I'm influenced by the passion of music found in every other musician in the world that has ever lived or will live.
