the one band i was in we played black star off of malmsteins first albulm.i think it was marching out.i couldn't handle those riffs,especially at the speed needed to pull off malmsteins stuff.the guy that played lead in that band was one heck of a guitarist.he was heavily influenced by michael schenker,and gary moore.
i remeber the first time i heard surfing with an alien.satch boogie blew my mind.i also liked how all of the songs on his first three albulms were all instruementals.his stuff was definitely geared towards six string junkies.
what did you guys think of nuno bentencourt? the guitarist for extreme.ya ever hear the song play with me? he actually takes some classic beetoven(sp?) and grinds them out into metal licks
