Live: Extreme Volume II
Artist : Racer X
Country : USA
Release : Live: Extreme Volume I & II
Year : 1988
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320
Info:
Racer X has always been known for their speedy licks and insane melodies. Consisting of two guitarists (who play their guitars at incredibly fast speeds, still staying in exact synchronization with each other) you will hear harmonies that you might have thought not possible to be achieved live on stage. If your looking for the sheer brutality of their speed, just listen to their solos. Each member (Paul Gilbert, Scott Travis, John Alderete, and ex-member Bruce Bouillet) has their own solo, that clearly show the power driven behind Racer X. Great picks to listen to on this album is (my personal live favorite) She Wants Control, which is a pretty bluesy song including a very chunky bridge.
Extreme Volume II is no less than Extreme Volume. What's strange is Mr. Munoz says this CD is lacking energy. How could one CD have Energy and another CD Lack energy when the recording is the same and the show was the same? It's impossible. Extreme Volume II is simply the "other songs" not on Extreme Volume. Granted, EV has all the indivdual solos, but frankly, EVII has the better songs with Heart Of Lion, Moonage Daydream, Hammer Away and the best non-KISS version of Detroit Rock City.
