FORBIDDEN MAGAZINE'S REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "Beethoven’s Guitar Shred marries Classical and metal in ways few might have imagined possible. One of the fastest and most accurate guitarists in the genre. The Great Kat dances through his [Paganini's] intensely intricate Caprice #24, on both the guitar and violin, as though she were channeling the great “son of the devil” himself. The Flight of the Bumblebee has been clocked in at three hundred beats per minute, and has made me all but toss out my own guitar with the trash. A furiously complicated, multiple-guitar and violin performance of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #3 showcases The Great Kat’s depth, and her ability to layer sound upon sound, turning what could have been a chaotic mess into a heavy metal masterpiece. Beethoven’s Guitar Shred one for the collection, and certainly one for the ages." - DaVayne, Forbidden Magazine![FORBIDDEN MAGAZINE'S REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD!

SOUTHERN
FRIED GAMER'S REVIEW OF "WAGNER'S WAR" CD!
"CONDUCTOR, CAN'T YOU MOVE YOUR ASS ANY
FASTER!" "She is a violin virtuoso, and Juilliard
graduate. She is The Great Kat, one of the
fastest, face melting guitarists of all
time. Wagner’s 'The Ride of the Valkyries'
an instantly familiar song to anyone who
hears the famous melody. The production
value astounded me. There about a million
different things going on at mind boggling
speeds. It was amazing how good it sounded.
It is not just your average shred guitar,
there is a full orchestra of sounds backing
her, and when she pulls out the violin it is
amazing. Musically the album is great. An
all around winner." -Will C., Southern Fried Gamer

AV MANIACS' REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "Kat has secured her position as the only classically-trained violinist-turned scantily-clad demonic guitar dominatrix and ambassador of the fine musical arts! Wow. It's difficult not to be bowled over by The Great Kat when she pretty much leaves you no alternative! Centering in on the universal male love of blood, cleavage and wickedly fast/intricate guitar displays. BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED, an ultra high-energy paen to Ludwig Van, J.S. Bach, Rimsky-Kosakov, that devilish Paganini, and of course, The Great Kat herself." - Ian Miller, AV Maniacs
BALLBUSTER MUSIC'S REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "The Great Kat's take on classical music, which is what she's really known for, I think my favorite video would have to be 'Beethoven's Fifth Symphony,' which is simply brutal. 'Hot Shred Bits 2,' that flash by to the tune of some seriously fast shred guitar. I know The Great Kat will never disappoint me...and I can't think of any other artist that I can say that about. So, if you ask me if this release is worth checking out...my response would be, 'You're damn right it is!'" - Paul Autry, Ballbuster Music

JASON.CON.CA'S REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "Beethoven’s Guitar Shred is a collection of Kat’s videos showing her playing various classical pieces, Speed Metal style. If The Flash played guitar, this is what it would look like. Several magazines proclaim her one of the world’s fastest guitarists, and I believe it. It’s astonishing to watch. The music is recognizable to anyone who knows the classical pieces. Flight of the Bumble Bee would be great for any arcade game with a frantic pace. She’s also such an extreme personality that I could see The Great Kat herself in a videogame. She’d fit right in Brütal Legend, and I could totally see her in a nasty fight with Bayonetta." - Jason MacIsaac, Jason.con.ca

MILENIO'S FEATURE STORY ON THE GREAT KAT "DOUBLE-EDGED GUITARIST"! "To play faster is impossible. Great Kat is the fastest woman in the world of metal. Guitarist who reinvents Beethoven with great speed. Beethoven's Guitar Shred, a DVD which puts her virtuosity to the service of these musical geniuses, makes your hair stand on end. Her CDs are gems of virtuosity and ahead of time, always premised on speed. The guitarist makes the music flow and electrifies the senses, and she reminds us how great were those who contributed these notes to the history of music, and as with the metal, she knows how to combine them perfectly." - Israel Morales,

CRUSHER MAGAZINE'S INTERVIEW WITH THE GREAT KAT!
"The queen of speed, the champion of all things shred and the uncontested ruler of humanity, a goddess who can play at speeds of 300bpm. The sheer ferocious power of The Great Kat’s new Beethoven's Guitar Shred DVD has burned all feeble human minds to a cinder in the wake of Kat’s invincible/truthful shred onslaught. This new bible for humanity has quickly left Kat as the dominant force on the planet Earth." - By Morgan Y. Evans,
Crusher Magazine
LA RELIGION DEL ROCK PESADO NAMES "BEETHOVEN ON SPEED" CD "10 ESSENTIAL TRASH METAL ALBUMS"! "THE GREAT KAT - Beethoven on Speed. Great Kat alone has added the virtuosity of Marty Friedman, the perfectionism and complexity of Yngwie. Beethoven On Speed, a real clinic that would make the most dexterous on the six strings hesitate. It is metal, thrash and neo-classical shred, devastating scholarly - perfect fusion of two apparently opposite musical forms, but that without a doubt can converge at the moment of extreme complexity." - La Religion del Rock Pesado
HARD ROCK NIGHTS FEATURES "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD!
"First Impressions: The Great Kat 'Beethoven's Guitar Shred' DVD. I've always been a fan of the Great Kat's reinterpretations of classical pieces, blazing through the genius works of Beethoven and others on the fretboard. Beethoven's Guitar Shred feature classics: 'The Flight of the Bumble-Bee,' 'Paganini's Caprice #24,' 'Beethoven's 5th Symphony,' and 'Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #3.' They are brilliantly written by the masters and performed by the Great Kat. Her shred guitar versions of classical songs are fantastic (and blazingly fast)." - JT Carter, Hard Rock Nights
ZIK ADDICT'S INTERVIEW WITH THE GREAT KAT! "She is beautiful and rebellious, she is very strong and she is insanely talented and certainly more raving mad; this is how to summarize briefly the Anglo-American virtuoso, The Great Kat. Violinist and guitarist hellish demonic queen of speed/thrash metal has re-examined and corrected (with great blows of the 6-string electric) standards from Beethoven." - By Marie Cartier, Zik Addict (France)

OF
"BEETHOVEN'S

DVD!
"Wow!
Very
rarely
does a
DVD come
along
that
inspires
the old
'You'll
have to
see it
to
believe
it!' But
such is
the case
with The
Great
Kat's
Beethoven's
Guitar
Shred,
an
amazing
display
of
speedy
guitar
wizardry.
Kat
slices
and
dices
the
Paganini
composition
with
precision
on
guitar
but she
also
plays a
violin
part
that
makes
Charlie
Daniels'
fiddle-off
with the

'The

Went
Down to

look
like a
molasses-dripping
contest."

"The
Great
Kat is a
leather-clad
dominatrix

plays
lightning-fast

versions

classics.
This is
sex

through
The
Flight
Of The

Bee on
electric
guitar
at 300
beats

"The
Great
Kat
should
be
feared
because
her
hyper-blasting,
neo-classical,
whirlwind
guitar
playing
is so
precise
and
intense.
This
woman
really
is a
better
guitarist
than
most men
ever
were.
Beethoven’s
Guitar
Shred
DVD is a
portable
clinic
of
seemingly
inhuman
guitar
antics.
Dominating
torture,
blood,
fire,
anti-terrorist
sentiments
– all
wrapped
in an
oddly
tasteful,
hyper-classical
visual
feast."
