Edge of Insanity...Awesome Instramental.

Yes must agree with you doublev, Vinnie was/is(?) unique. Not only a shreddy, but an awesome song writer. Even if you pulled out of the solos, they songs stand on their down. I was amazing listening to ASG unmixed & how good it was. Even his rhythm work is amazing.
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.

Altitudes .. one of the best instrumentals ever .. poor Jason .. :( .. also the guitar work on A little Aint Enough by DLR is hugely understated but try and jam allong .. then you get the idea .. Jason Becker was a total legend

It's Showtime! Best shuffle ever! "Leave your name and number in the dumpster when you're through, don't call us, we'll call you". Even better than Hot for Teacher!

He played until he left us. I had the honor of meeting him twice and seeing him 4 times. INCREDIBLE!!

I F**K HATE Kirk Hammet & U2(feel ill just saying U2...F**K HATE U BONO SUX COX.) I want to make it law that unless you can really play guitar (& I'm not necessarily saying you need to pull out 400 notes a second) you can not have a wah pedal. If you found with a wah pedal, electrodes will be attached to your testicles & they will be amped up.

Written & spoke by Metatron against people who can't play guitar & cover it up by using a wah pedal.
I love the Wah! Hate Hammett though! Proud to say I don't own a single Metallica album. In 89' two guys gave me 2 tapes when I came home for Easter from my first job. 1 tape was And Justice for All and the other was So Far, So Good, So What...NO comparison in my eyes (ears)! I loved Megadeth instantly and I think I only listened to Justice once. I didn't mind One though, although I still have them on VHS playing it on the 89' American Music Awards. They had to play so quietly and the guitar tone was shite!!! And I thought Hammett's main solo was cliche too!

With all of the endorsements that guitarists give ( George Lynch anyone ? :D ), I always believed that Kirk Hammett should have taken advantage of a Nike shoe/ Dunlop WAH endorsement. The WAH pedal is built into the shoe so the fucker can WAH AWAY and sound like a duck without missing a step. No need for those silly wireless WAH WAHS cluttering the stage anymore .

Awesome band Batman. All their albums are great. The first two with Stephen Clifford are insane. Got a live 1984 DVD that has some other versions of 'Night of the crime' songs on it. Totally awesome. So underrated...
Might have to blast that on drive home tonight.

Cool!
I'm an Akira fan too and have seen him several times but I think the last time that I saw him perform live was about 18 years ago. I can't believe how time passes so quickly. It must have been great to see him close in a small club.
