Ahoy amigos! After several weeks of Nuclear Assault dueling, @YeOldeGuitarDude and I undertook to team up to properly trade off licks on this heavy metal classic, for your viewing pleasure!
(Re-)learning this song was more complicated than expected, with proper live footage being scarce and after many exchanges, I think we uncovered the many secrets of this track.
Kirk handled all the tone building and the result speaks for itself! You’ll find a list of all the gear/plug-ins used below.
Having played by myself for 99.9% of my guitar journey, this little project was a breath of fresh air, and I wanna thank Kirk for the hard work and the time he spent on making this cover sound as good as it does! If you are a fan of heavy metal classics, thrash and prime guitar wizardry, Kirk is the guy for you! If you haven’t already, you should subscribe to his channel NOW / @kirkmeredith
I’m working on more covers so stay tuned and make sure to subscribe! Follow me on Instagram @tbomb_guitar for behind the scenes and updates on new material.
