- The Great Kat - Wagner's War
-
- Well , this definitely fits in the off center category . I must tell you
first off , The Great Kat is one of the best , speediest , and spellbinding axe grinders
in the music scene today . Spin magazine declares the Great Kat "The speediest ,
scariest shredders of all time."
-
- I personally was completely warn out after this CD . That's a lot to say
after about 11 minutes of ....ummm... I dunno , music ? The Great Kat is a violin virtuoso
who graduated the esteemed Juilliard school of music , but instead of
becoming a concert violinist , she decided to become The Great Kat , wear camouflage
, bikinis , and spit blood at the audience . I don't think Juilliard had that in mind ,
but the Great Kat pulls it off .
-
- This chick can shred with the very best of them , I hear her , and would
love to hear her and Yngwie Malmsteen in a guitar wars . The shrieking vocals , screamed
obscenities and screams of war and death may shock some listeners , but if you are
looking for a short trip in the warped mind of Katherine Thomas who has played violin at
Carnegie hall , then transformed into the dominatrix vamp known today as the great Kat ,
get this EP .
-
- You may not appreciate the war and death imageries , but you will be
blown away by the speed this female shredder plays the guitar and violin on Wagner's War
.... I was just disappointed there wasn't a lot more by the self proclaimed "New
Beethoven of the 21st century" than the mere 11 minutes 10 seconds of sheer heart
attack shredding .
-
- For the hyper arrangements of Wagner's "The Ride of The
Valkyries" and Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody #2" as well as Kat's originals ,
7 songs ranging from 1 minute 7 seconds to the lengthy 2 minutes 11 seconds , this is a
hyper speed trek into the next dimension . Enjoy !! If you dare.....
