Yes.

No.
Your musical influences
For me (Adrian).. a little bit of everything.. especially the Misfits and Anti-Flag, Conflict, Tiger Army, the Code, the Casualties.. mainly in the 'punk' genres of sorts(some new punk, some old punk, some street..etc..) and of course rock and slightly metallish influences..
im sure Dave and Mike have some more relevant answers..
What equipment do you use?
Dave -
Guitars: Fender Artist Series Stratocaster, Squier Stratocaster, Taylor 110, Yamaha FG-160
Amps: Marshall DSL 100, Marshall 1960 Slant 4X12 Cab (75 watt Celestions)
Other: Dunlop Tortex Picks (.60), Dunlop Nylon Picks, Ernie Ball mix Heavy Bottoms/Power Slinky/Regular Strings
Adrian - A black BC Rich Warlock Bass, a Black Ernie Ball Music Man OLP Stingray Bass through a 400 Watt Peavey Nitrobass head and a 2x15" Peavey cabinet... as for strings and picks.. I prefer Hybrid slinkys and heavy plectrums..
Mike - Tama Rockstar, Sabian Cymbals, Rimshot (Adrian: haha rimshot) 5B Pro Grip Sticks
Anything else?
Get off the computer and go read a book you little bastards..
