THE GREAT KAT: INSANE GUITAR SHREDDING
DESERVES AN INSANE DVD
April 14, 2009 3:00 PM
As you might expect,
a late night talk show gets a lot of promotional materials from actors,
musicians, writers, and all sorts of personalities. One such submission
came from The Great Kat, who you
may know as one of the fastest, fiercest heavy metal guitar shredders in
the universe. My eye was immediately drawn to her DVD Beethoven's Guitar
Shred, which was sitting on a desk in the office. The cover shows Kat
and her guitar engulfed in flames, with the ghost of Beethoven rising
from the pits of hell beside her:
At first (because let's be honest, I don't normally
follow really fast electric guitar solos of classical music) I thought
this was some sort of crazy version of Guitar Hero - like you have to
play Beethoven so fast that you will go insane like this woman shown on
the cover. But I was wrong. Dead wrong. It's a DVD! I popped it in, and
was delighted to find some of the greatest heavy metal videos ever made.
This lady is hard core. She plays Beethoven's symphonies the way he
always intended: incredibly fast and covered in blood. See a sneak peek,
after the break. WARNING: This is not appropriate for young children,
and most likely, your place of work. (Lots of blood.)
If you liked that, there's plenty more where that came
from on the DVD. I've watched most of it, and there are some choice
videos such as "The Flight Of The Bumble Bee," "Torture Techniques," and
"Blood."
