560.0. "Nitro" by PFLOYD::ROTHBERG (Get the priest as well...) Mon Jun 19 1989 18:43

                Anybody know  the  lineup  for  Nitro?    This is
                Michael Angelo's band  (yeah, another REAL name).
                They will be at  Narcissus within the next couple
                of weeks.  I believe the date is July 12th.  I've
                only heard one song (the one  that  they  show on
                MTV with his 4 necked guitar that  looks  totally
                fake when he does his solo).  They seem okay, but
                nothing  great.    Sounded  like  a cheap copy of
                RacerX or CJSS.

560.3What is that?EXPRES::CARMANTue Jun 20 1989 12:2711
    
      Anyone check out Micheal Angelos live before? I'm not the biggest
     fan of speed/heavy metal, but this guy can play.
     A friend of mine has his Video on " advanced guitar licks " and his
     talent is amazing. He's got this custom made guitar called the "double
     axe" ( not double neck ) that has a lefty, and righty guitars constructed 
     together into a V shape so he can play leads with both hands....
     
     Crazy! but amazing!  
     
     
560.4PFLOYD::ROTHBERGGet the priest as well...Tue Jun 20 1989 18:169
                The guy  is  absolutely  phenominal, but the band
                wasn't that great.
                
                CJSS is a  group.    Dave  T.  Chastain on guitar
                (another speed demon with  a  middle initial that
                he uses all the time).  I'll go make a CJSS note.
                
                
560.5ANT::SLABOUNTYIt's 7 o'clock and I wanna mosh ...Tue Jul 18 1989 13:3211
    
    	I saw "Freight Train" on the HBB last w'end ... Michael
    	does seem like he can play, and Jim Gillette sounds like
    	he has a GREAT voice.
    
    	They're capable of better than "Freight Train", I hope.
    
    	I love the guitar!

560.6MITRA::JANCZYKTue Jul 18 1989 14:254
    The guitar is *TACKY*  what's the use of it anyway?
    Someone care to elaborate on the issue?

560.7ANT::SLABOUNTYIt's 7 o'clock and I wanna mosh ...Tue Jul 18 1989 14:2911
    
    	The guitar is designed so that Michael can play with both
    	hands simultaneously, and then play the bottom necks up-
    	side down simultaneously.
    
    	He has a V-guitar, but he had to keep turning it upside
    	down ... with the extra 2 necks he can just move his hands
    	to the bottom necks.

560.8MARKER::BUCKLEYThat child blew a child awayTue Jul 18 1989 14:464
    
    FYI -- Steve Vai had his 3-neck, heart shaped guitar made after
           seeing Michael Angelo play like he does.
    
560.9ASAHI::COOPERBurn my flag, and I'll shoot ya...Tue Jul 18 1989 15:094
    Me and Scary saw him (Vai) actually play that thing...  I mean,
    tis guy could smoke use with his hands behind his back.

560.10CHEFS::DALLISONIts Katching !Tue Jul 18 1989 18:425
    
    Seen Vai's new baby ?? a seven string Ibanez guitar ??
                                                        
    It has an added low B.  It's apparantly the b*llz for power 
    chords. 
560.11Not worth the money!!!!!RAVEN1::BUTKUSMy mom says I'm specialTue Jul 18 1989 21:5210
    
    
    	Micheal Andeloe's 4-necked guit. has 7-strings on it and the
    last string is High A.
    
    Shawn the song you saw was about the best that there is on the
     tape I think it was the one with the least vocal harmonies.

560.13MILKWY::SLABOUNTYWhiplash!Tue Oct 31 1989 16:2113
    
    	I bought the CD last night, and the last couple replies are
    	right ... it's not that great.
    
    	Michael is fantastic, but he gets monotonous after 8 or 9
    	songs.  Too similar, ya know?
    
    	And Jim Gillette has a great voice ... but that also gets
    	monotonous.  In "Machine Gun Eddie", he holds a high note
    	for 30 seconds ... not bad at all.

560.15Sequencing background tracks?CSC32::G_HOUSENo. 24, the naughty bitsFri Nov 03 1989 22:454
    Real recorded music, or were some parts sequenced?  Some people don't
    make a distinction...

560.16MA is great..but his band sux...BOSHOG::KELLYN.O.TWed Dec 20 1989 00:5712
    
    	I saw a vid of theirs on MTV...
    
    	I've seen MA before..on that Advanced Git licks tape..I was
    blown away both times...but it does get booring...although I'd give
    almose anything to be able to do it...
    
    	The singer is Xtremly annoying...loud irritating voice and
    mosnterously big hair...I'll bet the bimbo's in Vixen are jealous..

560.17MILKWY::SLABOUNTYLife Is Just a Fantasy ... baby!Thu Feb 08 1990 13:0712
    
    	I was scanning my CD collection last night, looking for
    	stuff to play through my new speakers, and I saw this
    	one.  I figured "What the heck", and popped it in.
    
    	Yow!!  There is a whole lot of bass on this album.  I
    	really gave the speakers (and anything in my room that
    	didn't happen to be tied/chained down) a workout with
    	"Freight Train".

560.20MILKWY::SLABOUNTYHemorrhoid from HellMon Jul 30 1990 17:2212
    
    	I took my cassette copy (of the CD) with me yesterday to list-
    	en to in the car, and the bass is still great.  The guitar is
    	great, but VERY repetitious.
    
    	Michelangelo seems to know one basic solo, and all he does is
    	switch it around for a good number of the songs.  I mean, how
    	many ways can you play a solo when all you use is the higher
    	1/6 of the neck?

     .... overkill ...
    
    The guy is quick, no contest ... but after a while it all starts
    sounding the same, even if it isn't, ya know ?
    
    But in all honesty - I couldn't make it all the way through the tape.
