Where Are They Now? with Myron Stratis, our old HCAF bud

[Gainzilla]

For those who dont know him, Myron was a fellow forumite from HCAF back in the day. He was a cool down to earth guy and a monster player from Greece. I few years back I was in Greece for a week and got to hang with both Myron and Alex and it was a blast, lots of playing, drinking and feasting and alot of laughs, both of those guys have hearts of gold. I still speak with Alex regularly, today as a matter of fact!!! hes working on 2 solo CD's and I cant wait to hear them...

It turns out that Myron has been the number one selling pop sensation in Greek Pop Music. Its nothing remotely what we remember hearing from Myron but you have to give the kid props for attaining such a big level of success and recognition. Hes a friggin household name over there and there doesnt appear to be an end in sight...

Here are some of his vids...

Probably not anyones cup of tea but my hat is off to him and on a side note, he must be getting more ass than a toilet seat!!!

LOL! You know how you hear a guitarist who you never thought was anything special but then you hear a rare moment in which he gets to show his real talents and you're like "wow!!! I never knew"? That's what I'm reminded of here, only we know his real talents beforehand.

Congrats to him. Does he get to do any soloing on his work?

Wow, quite a change of style. Myron is a brilliant guitar player but we knew that
Now, I hope people in Greece figures it out.

Myron is a cool dude - always made sure to chime in at HCAF if he dug something I posted... Great player... This is AWESOME for him! Cool he is able to make a career playing music....

This stuff ain't my cuppa tea, but that doesn't mean shit anyway... I don't think I'm in his current demographic.
