I just followed the simple principal- Get low, Get laid
Who inspired you to play seven?

^ lol, nice
I was (and still am) into bands that tuned to B/A like Nile, CC, others, so I tuned my 6 down. I wanted the high e though, saw my first seven (Suicide Silence) and got one a couple months later for my birthday

I've always loved Loomis, Vai, and Petrucci.
But when I met Corey Beaulieu from Trivium on the All Hope Is Gone tour is when I was convinced to get a seven.
After seeing his 7 string V that dean made him I had to have one.
Seeing how that was never put into production I had Ran Guitars make me one =D

Nobody i can think of tbh. 
I got into 7's because i didn't like the longer scale on bariton's, hence a 7string made more sense. Plus the guitar i got for a first seven is an absolute gem so i'd be an idiot not to have gotten it

For me it was Loomis. Although I had never considered playing a seven until I heard his solo album (which blew the doors off me) and watched his "master class" video. The video clinched it.
Broderick is in there too. First time I saw him was on Nevermore's last dvd and he was flawless.

7 String FTW

that really got me hot for a 7...
Exactly what this guy said, it was Passion and Warfare for me too, since I was a kid.
Chris Broderick helped me hone my skills, so I have to list my Guitar Teacher too!

I was first inspired by Trivium, but after I had listened to Nevermore, I discovered the true potential of a 7 string

Well I'm not much of a lead guitarist, Dino Cazarez was my biggest influence. Along with Korn's EARLY darker stuff

Fear Factory.
FF is also what got me in (more like integrated) to heavy metal, into making my own music... and into the first band I was with. I was 12 years old at the time, and I had sneaked out of the house and went to this abandoned fenced-in volleyball practicing place in the middle of nowhere to practice singing/growling, and I didn't realize I was in the rehearsal space of my friend's band... so I was there doing a vocal cover of Edgecrusher and my friend and his band members showed up, and he yelled "Hey, that guy's covering Fear Factory! That's AWESOME! Hey, you want to be in our band?"
...and that's why I was even interested in making music.

Though I don't have a 7 yet and am currently shopping for one... my main influence is Trey from Morbid Angel. Lots of great 7 sting players out there but Trey is my all time favorite.

7=best number
bands like suicide silence started me off wanting a 7 string but then i found out bwt rusty cooley nd jeff loomis nd broderick. then i found a dean vandetta 1.7 on gak for £199 but then i found my one a cheapy harley benton on thorman for less than £140
The 7 string Ibanez video was what ispired me to play guitar in the first place. Definately had to be JP in the vid that made me want to play..... This then led me to discover Dream Theater

I just always wanted to get me a seven string, I was just nervous of buying one because i didnt know if I would like it or not. But I just bought my first one, and I F**CKING LOVE IT. To anwser the question it would have to be Korn, Deftones, and a little Unearth.
