The Doors, Hendrix, Nirvana, AiC, Soundgarden, ACDC, Metallica, The Used, Green Day, Offspring, Incubus, Tool/APC... Godsmack, Korn Pearl Jam, and Rush some others ya I listen to white boy music
All the techno beats you guys are posting would drive me crazy! I need some reggae when I play to chill me out. It's mellow and keeps me calm no matter how badly my session goes, lol.
I often listen to music while i'm playing, but i perform better without music on. It's just so damn boring to sit behind your computer and have no music on.
