Well, maybe I should say something about my favorites.

When I started play bass 13 years ago, my band No.1 were Iron Maiden. So there´s no surprise that for a long period of time was (and still is) my bass hero Steve Harris. At the beginning, it was totally incomprehensible for me to understand his playing skill. Through the time I´ve learn many songs from Iron Maiden among others, and what´s the surprise, when I realize that I can play similar like him.

In time, when my music horizon get wider, more bass players influenced me a lot. From rock music I have to mentioned Patrice Guers (Patrice Rondat, Rhapsody of Fire), whose playing is fantastic, but I have to mention also jazz bassists such as Jaco Pastorius, Ron Carter and Marcus Miller.

Despite this, Steve Harris is certainly the person, who influenced me at most. So he will probably remain as my No.1 bass player forever :)
