- Some random nine year-old kid. “It’s always hard… you can ask me this question and I’ll give you different answers. Trying to think chronologically, the first one that blew my mind was someone whose name I can’t tell you.
- Jimmy Page. “As influential as that kid was, it all changed when my sister came home with Led Zeppelin II and I heard Heartbreaker. So Jimmy Page came next for me - I think some of the production side of his work rubbed off on me, too - but his sheer command of the instrument floored me.
