Early Hardcore (think Black Flag), Punk, Thrash, Speed Metal, Death Metal. The bands to name a few would be D.R.I., M.O.D., S.O.D., C.O.C., Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedy's, Butthole Surfers, Bad Brains, early Beastie Boys and so on, to the usual suspects in metal like the big 4, Metal Church, Exodus, Testament, Sacred Reich, Sepultura, Bolt Thrower, The Mentors, Nuclear Assault, Kreator, Ministry, Death Angel, Coroner, yes even Iron Maiden, to modern throw back bands like Municipal Waste.
Death and Obituary are huge influences but Jimi Hendrix is my favorite guitar player. Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson would be the best 2 guitarist duo live.
Igor Cavalera for drums. Live.
Cliff Burton for bass. Live or on record.
Best performance from a band live I've ever seen was Alice in Chains.
To break ranks and turn to other music then the blues. SRV.
