Yeah, point of fact I met Atma Anur, and Tony MacAlpine. hehe and I can't believe I never met Greg Howe considering he live(s)/lived outside of Philly. I know people who got lessons from him and my guitar teacher was taught by MacAlpine and went to school with Paul Gilbert... I could have been the "Great (Black) Kat" if I had stayed focused on guitar but I doubt i'd be making albums of metal versions of Wagner compositions...

Tchaikovsky on the other hand...

By the way another two GREAT Metal Bands of Color were Bird of Prey and Necropolis (US) both from my hometown ! How wild is that?

The correct term, for those bands, is shite

[braj]

I would be the greatest black metal guitarist if I were black, liked metal, and had talent.

you would need a bigger penis too

[Lunch Money]

What the heck is going on with people? People beez nutz!

Tony MacAlpine is shred, and occasionally dabbles in tasteful fusion. He's hard rock at best, not metal.

Living Colour were not metal.

Fishbone are certainly NOT metal! They were diverse enough to have had one or two songs that teetered over the edge of metal, but metal they were not. Lady J's assessment as punk ska is at least closer!

Speaking of Lady J-- J, what do Evanescence have to do with Dream Theatre or King's X? The former is commercial hard rock; the latter two are kind of wankery prog-meets-hard-rock. They're from different eras, with different calibres of musicians, different lyricality, etc. etc. About the only thing they have in common is distorted guitars! To answer your question, though: I like quite a few Evanescence songs, but I'm not about to go out and buy their album.

[hello1234]

I liked them too - and I thought the third one, Stained(?) with the new bass player (what was his name... Wimpish?). He REALLY rocked live...

Doug Whimbish!! He is great. Hard and Melodic at the same time. But the king of (Nu) Metal base players is Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne. Yes I am a Mudvayne addict and I need help. Anyone else or am I alone here?

Ben

wimbish was a god on stained, and I am a new soon to be mudvayne addict........It's in the ipod with coltain and maroon 5.....

eclectic?

Yeah, I guess. (I have a devastating come back line but I'm choosing not to make IIRs cry)

[SevenString]

Right on, Lady J! I was definitely into the "Shrapnel" stuff back in the day. I lived in the SF bay area, and had Atma in my band for a while. It was him that got me into odd-meter and all that. I also used to worship at the altar of Paul Gilbert, and never missed a chance to see Racer-X when they came to town. I was lucky enough to see a lot of the Shrapnel guitarists play live at one point or another, including Vinnie Moore, Becker/Freidman, MacAlpine, Howe, Michael Lee Firkins, Kotzen, etc... etc...

Did you ever get a chance to hear Vicious Rumors? Mark McGee is quite the shred monster, and replaced Vinnie Moore in that band, and the late Carl Albert is one of my favorite singers of all time, along with Russell Allen of Symphony-X and Jorn Lande of Masterplan and ARK.
