Some great players I missed:
Vinnie Moore (neoclassical through to blues and even some flamenco type stuff, versatile and extremely talented, guilty of the shredder's crime... MUSIC!)
Glenn Tipton, (ex Judas Priest) the title track blisters, burns and spits out fantastic exubberant melodies. Nobody plays I've heard plays pinch harmonics better than this guy and for me there is no better metal guitar tone than his.
On most of the other tracks the solos are scarily fast and perfectly played but, like life of a caveman, they're brutish and short. It's worth getting the album for "Baptism.." alone, it's got Billy Sheehan and Carmen Apice on it as well..
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
