Cant say anyone inspired me to pick one up. It just seemed kinda natural. Used to play five string bass.

unearth - strings conscience made me go out and buy a 7 string. Earth Crisis, Fear Factory, Korn, RATM, Sepultura, Limp Bizkit etc made me want to buy a guitar but it wasn't til I heard that album that I went out and bought a 7.

Munky made me like them
Vai made me love them
Petrucci made me crave for a sevenstring
My wallet allowed me to get one
That Dino-sample on youtube playing his 8'er made me settle at 7.

No one, I actually never planned on buying or ever playing a 7 string. The guitarist in my band Fin'amor got me into playing guitar back in 2003 or 2004. He and I had different taste in music, he loved the nu-metal bands that used 7 strings (deftones/korn/etc) while I listened to Metallica, thrash, and alternative rock. He took the 7 string route and I stayed with 6 strings. He and I did end up loving the same music with symphonic/melodic black metal. Anyway I played 6 strings exclusively until last year when I joined Fin'amor. I still prefer 6 string guitars and use them in my thrash metal band Salvation Army Destoyers. If I ever left my band or got kicked out I would most likely sell my 7 strings haha and put the money toward a custom 6 string.
It's funny because I'm not even a fan of playing low tunings. I don't think I've tuned my 6 string guitar lower than Eb or Drop Db more than twice. My 6 strings stay at Eb. My 7 string is in D standard. I don't mind the low tuning but I wouldn't do it outside of my band.
