That's too bad. I saw them on tour two years ago at a mid sized club. I got to briefly meet Gene, I told him he was the reason that I was there. He smiled and said thanks. Even after the weight loss, the man is a giant. I'm 6'1 and he towered over me. I love Testament, I like the newer...

I am not sure about this release, but I've read other interviews with other metal bands stating that the drums are programmed on most metal releases because the budget isn't there to properly record drums. Again, I don't know if this is the case here. I would say, that I don't feel they...

I always loved Tony's technique, and to be able to bring on the keys as well, wow! But, I never gelled with his writing style. As others have said, if he could have landed that great support gig, it could have changed his life.

I went on a quest last September and landed on the black jazz iii, the Eric Johnson jazz iii, JP jazz iii, JP flow, Andy flow. Coming from the standard pick size, the easiest transition was the Andy flow, but being a fan of EJ and JP, I kept going to the black jazz iii. I've settled on the EJ...

When it was announced that Vai wasn't in the band and in fact the others I haven't heard of, I thought, oh no. But, when I heard that Al was playing, that changed it all. If there is anyone out there that can nail Eddie, it's Al. Kudos to him for landing the gig. When they hit the road with...

They say that, but when you listen to older shows and then current shows, it's more than getting better at vocals (to my ears). The newer release of Pyro has a second that is live which was that tour in 83. It has a lot of HnD songs, my personal favorite Mirror Mirror, and the while they...

I saw them two years ago. It was like seeing recent Kiss, great 'show', band sounded fantastic, lights, screens. I'm pretty sure they are pumping in vocals like Kiss, it was too sweet and Joe was too good. Viv plays Steve's parts and Pete's parts (some), but those are few and far between. He...

Very cool! As a WMU grad, I spent some time down there in Kzoo. I wonder if it ended up at the Heritage factory and they sold it?

George wanted to work those traps while playing guitar.

Yes, I have a project Kramer Focus that is a strat body. I put a big block on it and it cut down drastically the amount that I could pull up. I had to shave the cavity to make it work.

Nicely done!

If that's combat tested in Afghanistan, then lord have mercy on our poor boys that are relying on this shit engineer.

It's a Glenn Tipton model body, not sure what's going on with the headstock.

It's possible that it was played, and being 1990, it could have that sound. However, Pyromania is a drum machine, but most people don't or didn't know that. Crimson Glory Transcendence is a drum machine, but most don't know that. Judas Priest Ram it Down is a drum machine. I'm sure that...

That sounds awesome. What profile are you using? I like the fuzziness to it, more Marshally sounding than the typical Mesa sound.

I have the Voodoo and the 1 spot, both work equally well at home. I haven't played out with the 1 spot, so I can't comment on how it handles crappy club power situations. If money wasn't an object, I would get the kind that you charge and they power everything else without having to be plugged...

That is awesome, I would love that!

I had a powerball and have an SE now. They both have the same gain structure, and yes, they have that sort of digital sound. Having said that, Marty Friedman uses them (most Engls are variations of the same), so check out any recent youtube video of him, preferably at a clinic and you can see...

Yes, Eddie wrote 95% of the songs. Dave wrote the acoustic stuff and played the acoustic guitar on two of them (ice cream man and could this be magic).

Yes, I misspoke. BBB. I love both of those songs, because it showed early on that they weren't a one trick pony.
