  2. Waking the Fallen: NOFX, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Pantera, At the Gates, Metallica, Poison the Well, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, In Flames, Death, Cradle of Filth, Dissection, Danny Elfman
  3. City of Evil: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Dream Theater, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Pantera, Megadeth, Danny Elfman
  4. Self-Titled: Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Danny Elfman, Oingo-Boingo, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More
  5. Nightmare: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Pantera, Guns N' Roses, Dream Theater, Mr. Bungle, Danny Elfman
  6. Hail to the King: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, classical music

Awesome!

You missed Django Reinhardt for both the stage and Hail To the King(especially Hail To the King is really just a gypsy jazz solo on electric).

Classical is also very present on The stage, I showed exist to a friend who's into classical and he basically said that intro is a Bach piece.

Allan Holdsworth is very present on the stage too(all the fancy chords in a song like Roman Sky give that one away).

You can probably say The Beatles is an influence for most of them as well.

Yeah, I realized I forgot gypsy jazz. But we have others to add in, so if anyone has more things they hear, be sure to add them. 🤘
