Covenant-"Nexus Polaris"

[quiksilver]

Andy Timmons

[pagemalicious]

Well lately i've been listening to alot of metal. Bands like Bodom, Iniquity, W.A.S.P etc. As well as some instrumental stuff like Andy timmons, Marcel Coenen and Steve Vai. So something like those guys would be cool. But also some weirder stuff or some unknown guys wouldn't go a miss

[Robotechnology]

Buckethead: Giant Robot
Evergrey: The Inner Circle & Recreation Day
Labryinth: Return to Heaven Denied, Sons of Thunder, Labryinth, & Freeman
Arch Enemy: Wages of Sin, Anthems of Rebellion, & Doomsday Machine
Control Denied: Fragile Art of Existence
Jason Becker: Perpetual Burn
Marty Friedman: Dragon's Kiss

and WAY too much more to list!

Any of the Tony Macalpine Cab series.
Frank Gambale too.

[pro-fusion]

Anything by Ron Jarzombek--either solo or his bands Watchtower and Spastic Ink

Mattias IA Eklundh--Freak Guitar

Lately, I've been more old-school on a big Uli Jon Roth kick. His best album with the Scorpions, "Virgin Killer", is a masterpiece, but I also love his more ethereal solo work. Not really metal, though.

Eric Sardinas

[fuel0707]

Michael Orlando - "Sonic Stomp"
Borislav Mitic - "Fantasy"
Matthew Mills - "Neoclassical Rock Guitar"

For a really good, straight-ahead rock record, get Legacy's debut. It's the version of Legacy with Marten Anderson on bass and Jonas Hansson on guitar.

And for something a bit out of left field but still with spots of guitar flash, get Ronni Le Tekro's "Extra Strong String". Ronni's the guitarist for TNT.

At NAMM this past January, I saw Johnny Hiland play a couple times. Its Not metal shred but the guy plain rips! So for something a bit different try searching for his name. He got signed to Steve Vai's label.

Thanks for suggestion Evergrey. I've downloaded a few tracks from Recreatiion Day and they sound damn good. I listened to one track and realised that i used to listen to that track all the time a few years ago but i never knew the name of the band haha

Try the latest Nevermore album, This Godless Endeavour. Some great guitar skills on show there.

Another album worth trying in a somewhat similar style is 11 Dreams by Mercenary.
