Probably listened to Metallica the most at the time (back in the early 90's), followed closely by Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Testament, Annihilator, Exodus, Death, Morbid Angel, Nocturnus, Possessed... and of course Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen, Richie Blackmore, Tony Iomi, Randy Rhodes - pretty varied stuff
