Well, having my nickname and my instrument combined wouldn't be that bad, I thought :-)

I do with my kinda Prog-Rock-to-Metal-Band called EXCHASED, let it be once or twice a month. I certainly like it, but I could imagine to do something besides the band. Wanna show more of music's flavours to my audience...

I believe it had a huge impact, though music industry must learn how to handle the needs and benefits for the listeners as well as for the artists from the start.

Well, gimme an offer ;-)

My heroes and influences have been and still are, partially, folks like Gary Moore, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, John5 (Marilyn Manson), Shawn Lane, Jeff Beck and Steve Morse. But I'm also into that blues and jazz stuff like BB King, Kenny Burell, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix etc, to name just a few. I could go on and on...

There are way too many great places... I just can't decide where to start :-)

Main axe: Ibanez JS1000 Joe Satriani Signature. Using it most of the time. Got me a Damage Control Demonizer for recording, but also using my cheap Behringer V-Amp2. I use my real amps only on stage, to keep my neighbours calm.
