Joe Stump - Guitar Dominance

This is the album that launched Joe Stump's solo career after his stint with Trash Broadway. It was originally recorded on 16-track, 1/2" tape machine and the production wasn't the clearest. That said, there was absolutely no denying Joe's incredible talent. If you like neo-classical or shred, this is a fantastic album to own. Joe stays solidly in what most would call the shred camp, but he brings a lot of different influences to the game. In addition to the expected "classical composer" influences, you'll hear a lot of Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker, Ritchie Blackmore and Gary Moore influences. That said, I think it's very easy to hear Joe's own style and personality coming through. If you dig high-tech guitar with cool songs, this is a great disc to own. This is the original 1993 release.
