John Hackett originally started out as a drummer but switched to guitar, taking lessons from Tommy Holland who went on to join Steppenwolf, the B'zz and Holland. While in high school, he saw The Who perform in the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock Festival films, which inspired him to take his playing to the next level.

His primary influences are Pete Townshend, Johnny Ramone, Leslie West and Johnny Thunders. John uses Paul Reed Smith and Gibson Guitars and Hiwatt Amplifiers to re-create Pete Townshend’s classic sound.
