Swedish Shredder from the 80s

[Robert]

I bet you never heard of this guy? Harry K Cody from the band Shotgun Messiah.

Check out this shred fest. Dude can play eh!? I was already 20 when I heard this for the first time, and I tried hard to learn this stuff back then. Never got even close, of course! But in those days, this style was the thing most young guitar players aspired to. Those days are long gone, I think!

The playing in this video is quite Vai-inspired, but definitely just as good I think. Some Yngwie moments in there too.

I'm not sure which would be cooler, to play like that or to be able to grow my hair that long again! Definitely playing like that -- I can always get a wig. :dude

I used to listen to SM back in my hair metal days. Harry posts at TGP pretty often.
