Childhood Memories

Pete Laramee
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Pete Laramee's 2008 disc, Childhood Memories, is melodic, guitar oriented, instrumental, progressive heavy rock and is not unlike any of his or the Kurgan's Bane's (his progressive hard rock band) previous work, but will be a tad heavier since Pete now plays the 7-string guitar. Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Planet X, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, and KISS) agreed to play a few solos on "Red Rocks", while Laramee is joined by his brother Jeff (also of Kurgan's Bane and Sonus Umbra) on drums, Luis Nasser (Kurgan's Bane, Sonus Sumbra) on bass, and Michael Passen from Concrete Prophet sit in on a few tunes as well, also on bass. In addition to being influenced by fusion and jazz guitarists, Laramee was influenced by players such as Vinnie Moore, George Lynch, Steve Vai and Greg Howe, which should give some insight into his solo style - which tends toward the high tech - with rapid arpeggios and furious legato lines.
