Music. Rock. Heavy Metal. Progressive.
Audioslave
I've been a lover to rock for decades since I was listening and falling in love with Semut Hitam Godbless (1988). My father introduced me with music of the legendary band and for some occasions accompanied me to watch the performance of local bands like SAS or Power Metal. It was dad's taste, not mine, eventough I had enjoyed too.
The second time came when I was at junior hish school. At that time, a good neighbor borrowed me some international rock bands from Iron Maiden, Queen and Metallica. Interaction with classmates paved may way to know more, not only about rockers like Guns n Roses, SteeleHeart, LA Guns etc, but gave me reasons to listen to underground or deadmetal like Sepultura, Obituary, Dismembered etc. It was great times to remember.
When I was at senior high school grade, my music spectrum had been broader. I went to music studios with my friends and played some songs for music festivals and school show performances. I spent money to take some guitar practices after school and then falled in love with all things about guitar since. At this time I had already listened and being a big fan of Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman and Steve Vai.
