Mainly metal. I've been listening to it since i was about 13. I listen to all different genres of it. Thrash/speed, power metal, some death metal, melodic death metal, metalcore , progressive etc.
I also like classical music. Recently got the symphonic Pink Floyd, which is awesome. I also listen to a little blues such as Stevie ray Vaughn, a little Clapton etc.
Guitar virtuoso i love as well. Satch, Vai, Petrucci etc.
Recently I've also gotten into a tiny bit of jazz music. If anyone is familiar with the HBO Show Treme, it's stuff like that.
Lastly, classic rock. The Doors, Pink Floyd, Sabbath. The usual suspects.
Here is my last FM page if you're interested. I hate the new last FM though, although the integration with Spotify is awesome. I just use the Spotify web player now, as my last FM player won't even play since the upgrade. It works on Firefox, but i hate it what they've done. Integrating with Youtube is horrible.

Beethoven is like metal for classical listeners. His shit was intense, went completely against the norm, and was short, sweet, and to the point.
To us, today, it sounds like a cliche. Of course, it is to us, cuz we've heard it so many times. But compared to Mozart, it was immensely different.
Mozart would shit out symphonies daily. Beethoven would walk around with a little notebook and scrutinize every detail of his 15 note melody (if even that)
I'm still trying to get into more classical music.
BTW, Petrucci comes before Vai. Without petrucci, there is no Vai. Vai is an extension of Petrucci. Not to mention, without his time with Zappa, who knows what Vai would have been like. He already is extremely self-absorbed. He's got a fan just for his hair....
^IMHO
PS one of the other guitar players Zappa used was Mike Keneally
And @everyone... No hendrix? C'mon. Being a guitar player without listening to hendrix will leave you entirely lacking.[DOUBLEPOST=1392836443][/DOUBLEPOST]@WaLLy do you like Rumba Club?

When I was about 14, I discovered Metal and I got into it deeper and deeper. I loved Black-/Death Metal, Folk and Pagan Metal (and Sonata Arctica 
). The more extreme it was, the better I found it. But i got older and my taste changed, so now I listen to almost everything as long as it sounds good for me. Right now, I listen a lot to Dubstep and Drum and Bass (and still Sonata Arctica). Sometimes to EBM and Industrial, too.
So, i can make a little list of the stuff I listen often these days:
Dubstep
Drum and Bass
Lissie
Ellie Goulding
Behemoth
Sonata Arctica
Front Line Assembly

One thing jimi did was never compare himself to the amazing players of his time. He always, in interviews, would deny any accusation that he was the greatest guitar player. Fkin magic.
His albums are fantastic. They completely exemplify him as a person. He doesn't just mimic other people! THANK YOU DUNIAL!

I really don't know genres. When i was growing up there was thrash/speed, death and glam metal. Now a days they've gone crazy. Crab metal. Math metal. It's all pretty stupid to me. The only reason i know the genres of the bands i like is because i read the tags or w/e. My point is, i don't really know what bands are considered 'hardcore.'
@TheDude Vai is seven years older then Petrucci and was in the public eye well before Peterucci was, i believe. I have a G3 concert video with Him, Satch and Vai all playing at once and trading off solos. It's awesome.
Paul Gilbert is also incredible.

LUCKY BASTARD!
Megadeth, Iced Earth (two of my fav bands), Amon Amarth, Heaven shall burn, Arch Enemy, Kreator, Carcass, Children of Bodom. Awesome.
Iced Earth and Megadeth are the two must sees, IMO.
Lol @ Skid row playing there. I loved that band when i was like 14.
