#I’ve seen a million faces…and I’ve ROCKED them all!

New Master That Riff looking at Bon Jovi’s sublime ‘Wanted Dead Or Alive’

In no particular order, albums that have rocked my World in 2006:

Guthrie Govan - Erotic Cakes
A long wait but it was well worth it. Stunning, fantastic sounding album can’t wait for the next one, though probably will have too .
Fave Tracks - ‘Ner Ner’, ‘Sevens’ and ‘Uncle Skunk’


Joe Satriani - Super Colossal
Another great CD from the master of instrumental guitar.
Fave Tracks - ‘Crowd Chant’ and ‘Redshift Riders’


Paul Gilbert - Get Out Of My Yard
At last an instrumental album from the one and only Paul Gilbert. As you’d expect plenty of guitar gymnastics ( that intro lick! ) and top rockin.
Fave Tracks - ‘Get Out Of My Yard’, ‘The Curse Of Castle Dragon’ and ‘Radiator’


Stone Sour - Come What(ever) May
Great followup album to ‘Stone Sour’ from Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and pals, Crunching riffs and great songs \m/.
Fave Tracks - ‘30/30 - 150′, ‘Come What(ever) May’ and ‘Through Glass’


Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
For me Muse are getting better and better with each album. Black Holes and Revelations is a truly wonderful piece of work.
Fave Tracks - ‘Knights of Cydonia’, ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ and ‘Soldier’s Poem’

Has been a while but I’ve found time to try my hand at this month’s Collective task .

Taking Seikilos’s fab melody and improvising some ’stuff’ in between, I came up with the following:
