Alex Masi
📀 Attack Of The Neon Shark
#InstrumentalRock #HeavyMetal #ProgressiveMetal #FunkMetal #JazzFusion

35 years ago Alex Masi from #Venice, #Italy released his debut solo album.

Attack Of The Neon Shark was recorded in Los Angeles, #USA, where Alex moved in 1986. In this album some of his friends appear as guest musicians, most notably drummer #FrankieBanali, guitarist #AllanHoldsworth (who plays his synth-axe), one of Masi's main inspirations, and #DavidMichaelPhilips (additional guitar/bass).

The album starts with a typical #HairMetal song (#JeffScottSoto on vocals and #Kuni guitar solo), reminiscent of the past 👉 MASI albums.

The remaining tracks are instrumental and show all #AlexMasi guitar skills (he also plays bass and keyboards) which led to a Grammy nomination for best 1989 intrumental rock: Alex Masi became a guitar hero!

"Toccata" is a guitar rendition of the 👉 ELP composition.

Killer album!

Faith No More
📀 The Real Thing
#AlternativeRock #AlternativeMetal #RapMetal #FunkMetal

35 years ago Faith No More from San Francisco, #USA released their 3rd studio album.

The Real Thing is their first album with new vocalist Mike Patton, who joined #FaithNoMore when the album was musically almost completed and contributed writing the lyrics.
The album marked the band's international breakthrough thanks to a fantastic mix of Heavy Metal, Alternative Rock, Rap, Funk, perfectly shaped by Patton's amazing and eclectic vocals.

In the cassette version (here's my consumed copy in #VeniceRocksRoom☝️) 2 bonus tracks were included: the funky ballad "Edge Of The World" and a cover of the Heavy Metal milestone "War Pig" by #BlackSabbath.

Still one of my all time favorite🤘

In this album:
#MikeBordin – drums
#RoddyBottum – keyboards
#BillyGould – bass
#JimMartin – guitars
#MikePatton – vocals

Faith No More
📀 King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime
#AlternativeMetal #AvantGardeMetal #FunkMetal #PostHardcore #ExperimentalRock #AlternativeRock #ArtRock

30 years ago Faith No More from San Francisco, #USA released their 5th studio album.

King for a Day was the band's first album without longtime guitarist Jim Martin (who left after recording the previous
👉 Angel Dust), here replaced by Trey Spruance brought in from Mr. Bungle.

In this album #FaithNoMore showcased a variety of musical genres, some say too many and consider the album too confusing, some, like me, consider it a masterpiece🤘

Eargasm ❤️‍🔥

#MikePatton – vocals
#TreySpruance – guitars
#BillyGould – bass, guitars
