?
As for me, during the time I was still pretty much into rock music ( prefer ambient now . . .) , belive it or not , for a short time my role model was James Hetfield from Metallica . . .
I thought he was a good guitarist and songwriter . . I liked his lyrics . .
Role model?
I think we all might have had one at one time or another . . .
( think one might notice 'till today that I was was once into Metallica since I often still embed their songs . . .
) . .
But now ?
To tell the whole story . . I broke with Metallica after the "St. Anger" album ( never liked that . . .) . .
I notice James Hetfield became too artificial over the course of time and recently also outed himself as a drinker and stated that he underwent therapy . .
Wow . .
Anyway . .
He was the only role model I had in my life though . .
How 'bout you ?
Who did you once look up to or are still looking up to ?
