FLAMENCO A GO GO
SONG REVIEWED: "Flamenco A Go Go"
YOU MIGHT REMEMBER STEVE STEVENS AS THE LEATHER-CLAD, PUFFY-BLACK-HAIRED, ARM-SWINGING AXEMAN THAT PLAYED WITH BILLY IDOL IN THE 1980s. HE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING A TOY RAY GUN ON THE PICKUPS AND USING THAT IN HIS SOLOS (PROBABLY AS A JOKE TO COUNTER EDDIE VAN HALEN'S USE OF A DRILL). THROUGHOUT THE PAST TWO DECADES, STEVE HAS BEEN A GUN FOR HIRE IN MANY HARD ROCK BANDS, AND HAS PLAYED ON DOZENS OF STUDIO TRACKS FOR ACTS IN THE US AND JAPAN. A FEW YEARS AGO, HE DECIDED TO DROP OUT OF THE ROCK GUITAR GAME FOR A WHILE TO FOCUS ON PERFECTING THE ART OF FLAMENCO GUITAR. THE EN RESULT IS FLAMENCO A GO-GO. THE TITLE TRACK IS A CLEVER MIX OF TRADITIONAL FLAMENCO STLYES AND MODERN DANCE BEATS, DISPLAYING STEVE'S DIVERSE TALENTS AS A COMPOSER AS WELL AS A PLAYER. THIS WILL BE APPRECIATED BY THE SHREDDERS AS WELL AS THE NON-MUSICIANS. THE SONGWRITING IS EXCELLENT ON THIS DISC; A MUST-HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
