The record that changed my life


In the new issue of Guitar World magazine, the question was asked, "What album changed your life". For me, there were many such albums but the first one to have a dramatic impact was Alice Cooper’s "Welcome to my Nightmare".
I remember listening to the record with my headphones on; I was about 8 years old.

I remember the second I noticed Alice’s distinctive voice in more than one place at one time. The concept of sound on sound (multi-track) recording give me a whole new passion for music.

I started re-listening to everything! Discovering things I’d never noticed before. One of my musical heroes, producer Bob Ezrin once used the term "hearing colors that most people can’t see." That is the perfect description. That album, that moment changed my life!

Some of the picks from Guitar World were:

Dave Mustaine – AC/DC "Let There Be Rock"
Slash – Aerosmith "Rocks"
Kirk Hammett – UFO "Force It"
Joe Perry – The Yardbirds "Having A Rave Up"
Ace Frehley – Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced"
Scott Ian – Kiss "Alive"
Steve Stevens – Yes "Fragile"
Ted Nugent – Mitch Rider & The Detroit Wheels – "Take A Ride"
James "Munky" Shaffer – Van Halen "Van Halen"

And that’s just a few.
I’ll ask the WRIF staff for their picks and post those next week.
