Jet to Jet by alcatrazz,thats the song they have ripped off,the dude even sounds like bonnet.......
i bought that 1st album by impelliteri in the 80s and the WHOLE thing was a yngwie rainbow ripp off,i wanted me fookn money back! i was pissed...it was almost song for song and in order like rainbows 'down to earth''....anybody else catch this cat doin this

im with you man---pointless yngwie ripoff
not only does he NOT have anything to say melodically, he was a VERY rude person with a totally unwarranted rock star complex when i met him back in his 80s heydey--what did he sell, like 3 eps?

double bummer

I'm not sticking up for any arrogance by any rock star let along one with limited commercial success. However this mofo can pick like a SOB and I like the 80s metal thing he's still doing.

Yup - 1986 maybe....

1987 to be exact.

Never liked him much. His newer stuff is just crap. His style just never appealed to me, even back in the day.

No taste. Just speed/noise to me. Horrible tone most of the time also. But hey, who am I to judge?? I'm just a basement wanker!!!!

On the lead stuff, yes, most of the time but on the rhythm stuff especially with Rob Rock singing, epic. Killer tones and production. At least IMO.

I'm 38 and thats the first time I've heard of them. Or maybe I just forgot about them LOL. Pretty typical of the times eh

they were never very popular at all. that album- license to kill- is their best. but it's pretty damned good if you're into that kind of sound- i think max norman produced it. i have 3 copies. one original and 2 different japanese with bonus tracks i got on ebay lol. a classic IMO.
