I still find myself running threw his old Europe licks as I am warming up. never would he would have thought he would end up with such a legendary status as he has now. what a monster. I really think he is as good if not better than Warren DeMartini.
DeMartini doesn't have near the musical depth that Norum has IMO. Seems more one dimensional to me.
Agreed 100%. Demartini is amazing and I love his style but outside of the RATT context, it doesn't hold up as well. Also, phrasing wise and tools in the toolshed wise, Norum just has way more. It isn't a pissing contest though, both guys are awesome, just Norum has more to offer overall. His singing as mentioned is also fantastic. Totally has that Sykes swagger going on. Even his blues chops now are tasty. Great great player. He has the "mojo" for lack of a better word. Some guys just have that. It isn't technique alone, it is feeling. I never get tired of Shenker either, he blazes out there and sets the stage on fire.
