You know Devo covered the Stones' "Satisfaction," but that's not saying they were influenced musically (especially if you listen to it).

Again, irrelevant, but I'll cite another musician from the same genre if it makes you happy. I'm sure I could find 50 other if I had the time.

Slash: I think Steve Adler was the lug that pushed me to pick up the guitar, because at the time we were like 14-15 years old when we first started hanging out and he had this electric guitar at his grandmothers house in Hollywood, that he would pick up after work, and when we were supposed to be going to school, we would ditch and go to his grandmothers house and crank up these KISS records

"And so when I went to go started, it was because our old drummer, Steven Adler had a guitar. He put a Kiss record on and took the guitar. He would just bang on it. And that gave me a hard-on."



Also, Rob Zombie, Slash, Tommy Lee, Scott Ian and Gilby Clarke covered God of Thunder during the VH1 Rock Honors for KISS.

It's pretty useless when you start citing sh*tty influence. Or I guess you're gonna let in, say, Green Day in for allowing all this crappy pop-punk revival?

I don't "like" Poison's music because it is worthless, scummy and generic to the max.
