I've never heard of this guy. He's got some chops and some cool licks. Some guys can just make a single coil Stratocaster sing.

Huge fan. I’ve known of him for a long long time.

Listen to his version of I'm A Warrior with Rob Rock on vocals....effing pumping song

Dude check out his album with Graham Bonnett on vocals, one of my favorite albums of all time

Impelliteris band is somewhere between USPM, traditional metal, shred, but whatever it is it's amazing

I wonder what his rhythm chops are like.

I wonder what his rhythm chops are like.

He's one of the smoothest metal rhythm players on earth.

Check out the song I posted - it doesn't even have a solo

I believe it was summer-ish ‘89 or so I heard his version of “since you been gone” and cannot unhear it. I think he played more notes in one song than I’ve ever played in my life; combined.

I only discovered him last year thanks to Spotify. He's still awesome and has his own very distinct sound.

Bought a VH4 from him back in 2007, he was a total class act. Got to talk shop with him for quite a while.

Way better than Tammy Hanson.

 

[lol]

Dang, used to love this guy when I started playing guitar over 20 years ago. I really liked his somewhere over the rainbow take.

 

[Metalhex]

My two favorites
