Another influence for me, not musical, is the night. Travelling at night in particular. The lights and mystery of it all. Just think the people all around you sat behind the wheel, whilst you may only catch a glimpse of them for a split second, are all off in their own direction. They are all leading their own lives.
All sorts really.
Mainly Tool... but I find that random sounds of nature inspire me a lot.
Movie soundtracks do a lot for me at the mo aswell!
/\ A million times this. Any tool album is quick to generate some inspiration, whether it's for their music, their production quality or both. Not too mention Danny Carey is probably one of (if not the) most talented drummer on the planet.
Yeah, he is one of the greatest.
His style is so unique
