[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3485381, member: 19675"] OK, youngsters... Other bands/artists you should know because of the direct impact they had on hard rock: Black Sabbath Deep Purple Rush Led Zeppelin ZZ Top Budgie Queen Iron Maiden Ynqwie J. Malmsteen Less obvious ones would include: Django Reinhardt: even with 2 damaged fingers on his fretting hand, he managed to play some awesome jazz guitar licks. Without him, we wouldn't have Heavy Metal as we know it. Why? Because it is his life story that kept Tony Iommi from giving up guitar after slicing off the tips off of 2 fingers on [i]his[/i] fretting hand, and as we all know, TI is the guitarist for Black Sabbath, the band that started true heavy metal. Metal Church: contemporaries of Anthrax, Metallica and Megadeth, they are often forgotten masters of early speed metal- they would be the 4th of the "Four Horsemen" as some called those bands. They're still around. The original lead singer left, and formed a band called Reverend (which was pretty cool too). Testament: one of the later bands in the speed metal movement, and a major launching pad for guitar wizard Alex Skolnick (Satriani protege and jazz fusion experimenter). Their music is/was as intense as anyone else's. Shawn Lane: a guitar phenom at 16, he mastered country, rock & jazz before his untimely death just a couple of years ago. Al DiMeola: legendarily fast jazz/rock fusion guitarist, could trade licks with YJM without blinking. Some of his stuff is pure shred- "Race With the Devil along a Spanish Highway" Dick Dale: The king of surf guitar, one of the first true shredders in rock history. Faster and more aggressive than any other guitarist of his era, if it weren't for him, speed metal guitarists wouldn't have had anything to shoot for. If you've watched Pulp Fiction, you've heard his work. [/QUOTE]
