Joe Stump 2001:A shred Odyssey (Leviathan)
For those of you who have forgotten what rock guitar is all about, shredder Joe Stump gives a refresher course on the title track of this collection of live and studio odds and ends. Done in one take-with no punch-ins or overdubs, it's an audacious, fiendishly over the top, six minute plus solo-guitar piece of such unrelenting speed, ferocity and technical brillance that it will leave your hair standing on end. And that's just the album's first cut.
