🎼4 November 1986. 35 years ago Swedish #guitarist 🎸 Yngwie Malmsteen released his third and most succesful studio album, Trilogy.
#YngwieMalmsteen at the time became the leading artist of the Neoclassical Heavy⚡️Metal genre, taking direct inspiration from classical masters such as Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Niccolò Paganini and the Venetian Tomaso #Albinoni (👈 click on the hashtag and scroll to watch Malmsteen version of his Adagio), and contributing to the development of the modern Guitar Hero figure.
A whole generation of rock guitarists in the 1980s, to name a few #JoeSatriani, #SteveVai #ChrisImpellitteri, #AxelRudiPell, #Kuni and #AlexMasi from Venice ❤️🤟 started a battle with their axes 🪓🪓 (most common slang word for guitars🎸🎸), to win the imaginary competition of best guitar hero of the time... those were the days!
Here's the first track taken from Malmsteen's Trilogy album👇

📌2 May 1989
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!
