“I would need to start with the first album of Black Sabbathwhich I consider the motivator of all great things in heavy metal,” he said. “Next up, definitely a heavy metal album Jimi Hendrixbecause I’m a frustrated guitarist and I love what electric guitars can do… I’m going for Electric Ladyland.”

“Let’s face more recent times. Let’s be really fierce and aggressive with something of the Slayer and actually burn things down on the island,” he continued. Rob Halford. “That palm tree is going to fall. I would go with Reign in Blood for ferocity and relentless intensity. For number five, I’m going to jump into something a little more cerebral, if that’s the right word to call it. Tool.”
“For me, it’s always been a great adventure to listen to them, because they go to some remarkable places and it really is great music to put on your headphones, which I have here on this island to get lost in one of their records,” the singer concluded about Tool.
