Just been turned onto this. If you're a fan of fancy guitar work than this is for you. And anyone who can play guitar like this is a wanker.

They do loads of Metallica covers don't they?

yeah they do orion. They have links to megadeth, metallica and slipknot on their website so they must be into it. I'm gonna get the albums methinks and learn how to play guitar.

They're from DM bands originally and this is their new venture. My bro went to Coachella (where reformed RATM rocked about) and sad they were great. Their Stairway rendition is awesome.

It would have been cool if it was proper flamenco style metal covers, as it was, that you tube clip was pretty damn boring!!

I got the album yesterday and it is excellent.

Does anyone here know flamenco? reccomendations if you do please.

Paco De Lucia is pretty much the king of it.

As for Rodrigo y Gabriela, i love it, there stuff isn't Flamenco guitar but it's really catchy, interesting and tech.

For anyone interested in learning true Flamenco good luck, there is more required in the rythm side alone than the entire metal spectrum.
Also there are styles of Flamenco that you will never hear let alone learn to play as they are family styles and only played to family members and exceptionally close friends at gatherings, really interesting musical culture though.

Some clips of the great man himself..
