A guy I used to know back in the day was Glover's guitar player in his followup project and that guy (Mike Ciro) put Reid to shame. If we're gonna talk black metal/rock players from that era, no one could stand up against Tony MacAlpine, not only was/is he an absolutely sick guitar player, he was also a classically-trained pianist (from the age of like.. 3 or something)... (only watch/listen to these if you have a guitar shred fetish. lol)

yup. same guy.
Greg Howe (another one of my favorite players of that era) could really kick it too, unfortunately he never really got the recognition he deserved. look how easy he makes this shit look:

as for best all-black rock metal group... No love for Fishbone? The best punk-rock/funk/metal/ska/soul band ever! :wink:
Tony MacAlpine plays his guitar in the neo-classical style that was pioneer by Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple. I think think Tony MacAlpine and Steve Howe are extraordinary guitarist but their playing lack soul, I admit Vernon Reid solos are uninspiring. I prefer the solos of Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai and Jimmy Page to MacAlpine and Howe.

The issue that I have is not only the local Dominicans are listening to this being blasted from these establishment but white Europeans, the Germans,Italians and Dutch are listening to n-word being blasted from these places.And pretty soon these people would start using the n-word liberally. I was in Sosua 2 week ago and Classico is dead, everyone is going to D'latin, it seem like most of the music that was blaring was rap. God do I miss Classico, don't get me wrong I like some rap music but I did not travel thousands and thousands of miles to a foreign tropical latin island to hear Rick Ross and Co. I want to hear latin music like merengue,bachata,cumbia and salsa. If i want to listen to rap I just open up the window of my apartment on the upper west side of Manhattan.

The Germans and Dutch will defintely not use the N word. When the Italians use the N word it will not be a term of endearment.:mrgreen:
