The Guitars That Rule The World

Various Artists

Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Making it's first appearance in 1992, The Guitars That Rule The World featured many legendary axe slingers, such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Earl Slick, Zakk Wylde and Richie Sambora demonstrating their diverse musical proficiency in vastly different ways. Everything from classical to blues was represented. The producers of this compilation simply made an offer to fourteen of the world's greatest renowned guitarists to stretch their boundaries as far as possible, without any creative limits. The results are varied. Sonic highlights include tracks by Paul Gilbert, Alex Skolnick and the Malmsteen/Olausson offering, "Leviathan". Ah, you'll pine for the glory days when guitar mags actually wrote about this kind of technical heaviness!
