Extremely Ridiculously Fast Taping

Nuno Bettencourt seems to prefer using his custom Washburn N4 but armed with merely a block of wood, some string, and an electrical outlet I'm sure he could satisfy even the most pretentious of rock critics.

In the late '80s, Extreme's brand of juiced up and funktified rock blazed out of the cold desolate Boston scene and onto the national stage.  With songs like "Play With Me" and "Kid Ego", their self titled debut introduced the world to a fret-board master artist.  With their follow up album Pornograffitti the band achieved commercial success off their acoustic singles, "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted".  But what casual listeners may overlook on the Pornograffitti album are some unbelievable feats of guitar wizardry; "Get The Funk Out", "Decadence Dance", and of course "He-Man Woman Hater" attack the cochlea of the unsuspecting.

Here's a video of Extreme live in Copenhagen and Nuno strutting his stuff for the crowd

STREET LETHAL 1986

Probably my favorite Racer X album of all time.  Besides the title track, Street Lethal contains such face melting tunes as "Hotter Than Fire", "Into The Night", and "On The Loose".  Gilbert's guitar virtuoso shines through even in this early stage of his career and the raw unencumbered energy these early 20's musicians bring to the table will have you rockin' all night long.

5 Rainbow Songs You Should Listen To

Started off with "Stone Cold" from 1982's Straight Between The Eyes followed by "Black Sheep Of The Family" from their self-titled 1975 debut.  Third up came "Kill The King" from 1977's live release On Stage, fourth was "Gates Of Babylon" from 1978's Long Live Rock And Roll.  And last but certainly not least is "Street Of Dreams" from Rainbow's 1983 release, Bent Out Of Shape.  Rainbow's lineup in '83 consisted of founding member Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar, Joe Lynn Turner on vocals, Roger Glover on bass, David Rosenthal on keys, and Chuck Burgi on drums.  The video, directed by Storm Thorgerson was banned by MTV for its supposed controversial hypnotic effects.
