The Killing Floor is who we are now, and here's my analogy of what it means to me: The song. The Killing Floor is a blues song from way-wayyy back when from Chester Burnett (aka Howlin' Wolf), so if you know your blues, you'll hear these influences, yet with heavier under-tones, with the originality and retro sound of TODAY. Hendrix opened up with this song at The Monterrey Pop Fest and imo annihilated everyone, even The Who! It's also what we put ourselves through on stage for our fans, expressing our rockin' blues to the fullest extent! Very entertaining say most. We're almost a reserved bunch until we hit that freakin stage! Our influences would have to include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ian Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Tito and the Tarantulas, Tea Party, to name a few.
