Members RoboCop00 Posted July 8, 2006 Members Share Posted July 8, 2006 I just realized there are quite a few very talented Italian-American guitarists. Now that I think about it, a lot of them are in the 'shred' category. Steve VaiJohn FruscianteJohn PetrucciMichael Romeo Joe SatrianiAl PitrelliMichael Angelo BatioAl Di MeolaChris Impellitteri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kace Posted July 8, 2006 Members Share Posted July 8, 2006 Lacuna Coil is an Italian band. Not necessarily Italian-American I don't think, but I saw em' at Ozzfest last week and they rocked pretty hard. The guitarists weren't any sort of virtuosos as the main draw of the band I think is their singer, but good nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
