From the first album I ever owned
Iron Maiden - Die With Your Boots On
As a musician I can say we are what we hear. Everything, I mean everything, is influential. If you hate it? You're influenced to not sound like that. If it turns you on? You borrow a little. Dig? Singing along with Bruce taught me how to use and control my vibrato. While I listen to Maiden about every 8 years or so at this point in me life, I will always give the man props for what he helped turn me into as a singer.
