He's an awesome guitar player that I believe easily ranks with the top, although he doesn't seem to get the proper recognition. Anybody else with me? -------------------- God said "Let there be LIGHT" and Chuck Norris said "Say Please" Gear: Ibanez RG Prestige 1570 Mirage Blue Fender Mexican Strat HSS Arctic White G&L Climax Marble body (Found my Gotoh trem bar!)

Well I have to be honest and say I'm not too familiar with the Cults catalogue. Not sure if they're that big over here in Europe? BUT, a firm favorite of mine for many a year now has to be "Don't Fear the Reaper". Brilliant song and some fine guitar playing in that absolute classic! I think the intro was one of the first riffs I ever tried to learn . The break in the middle with the solo is inspired! I just listened to it up at Youtube and it still sounds spine-tingling! Hard 2 believe it's 31 years old! I'm gonna plug in my guitar and play the riff now! ... seconds later ... I just did and it felt good David -------------------- Check out my video lessons and instructor board!
