"The Great Kat Growls!" Video Interview on IGN.COM

E3 2005: The Great Kat Growls!
The world's fastest-shredding guitar/violin virtuoso gives IGN a piece of her mind. Must see!

The Great Kat utterly defies description, but we'll try anyway. A Julliard graduate and guitar virtuoso, she is singlehandedly pioneering a movement to meld metal and classical music into a new genre called "Shred Classical."

She recently released a DVD called Extreme Guitar Shred, a series of short songs, which The Great Kat describes as cyber-bytes. The entire DVD times out at a tidy 15 minutes, but it's 15 minutes of the most bizarre, in-your-face shred guitar ever recorded.

Curious? You should be. You can check out her website here: The Great Kat official website. The DVD includes segments called "Castration," "War," "Torture Chamber" and "Dominatrix," among others.

We managed to corner The Great Kat at E3, and she does what any wild thing does in that situation: she struck back with everything she had.
