Mike "Fat Mike" Burkett part 2.

Sign in to disble this ad
Its been a few years since the last thread, and he has done quite a bit since then.

His playing on Wolves in Wolves clothing really impressed me, especially on "The Man I Killed"


Then move on to Coaster...


"Eddie, Paul, and Bruce" he is tearing it up with all kinds of licks that are just parodying metal bands.

"Best God in Show" is not flashy, but a great example of basic hold-it-down reggae lines.

"I Am An Alcoholic" he has a very smooth jazz line, with some smooth little climbs.

Hell, the whole band seems to have stepped it up the last few albums. I can't decide if they are just getting better, were hiding their talent, or if they are just recently starting to care about musical integrity.

Even Erik Sandin has seemed to make that punk drum beat even more beautiful. He's easily the best in the world at the style.

He doesn't do much flashy really, but hes the one that plays most the hardcore style octave lead stuff which is a pretty distinctive part of their sound. He is a funny bugger to make up for his lazy guitar playing though
