May 31/2022. 1982 was a very big year for me, musically as well as with movies. I was 20 and heavily immersed in guitar solos, and buying guitar albums every week. The late 70's and early 80's were the foundation of influences that I've built upon for the next 40 years.

Many of my favorite guitar albums from my favorite players came out in 1982. Michael Schenker group 'Assault attack', Hughes/Thrall, Santers 'racing time', Pat Travers 'Black Pearl', Gamma 3 from Ronnie Montrose, Gary Moore 'Corridors of power', Frank Marino 'Juggernaut'. Frank is in my top five guitarists list (along with Robin Trower who was also influenced by Hendrix) and I was heavily into the song 'Ditch Queen' off that album. The solo blew me away. I listened to the album a lot on my Sony Walkman. Marino was the first shredder in the 70's, but still kept a lot of soul and blues feel in his playing. Very underrated and forgotten player. This was the blues/feel/pentatonic speed line where guitar playing should have stopped, as it went totally overboard after Van Halen and Malmsteen influenced everyone to play faster and faster. I never liked the robot tech shred of the 80's that emerged from VH. I never really liked his lead playing at all. (better riff player) Almost all of these 80's shredders left me completely cold. NONE of that overkill holds up today, almost all those players have been completely forgotten. I wasn't into grunge, but I consider it a great thing that Nirvana stopped robot guitar pyrotechnics DEAD in 1991. Players like Michael Schenker stayed melodic, but he was a rare exception to the trend. Speed solos were never popular again after the late 80's.

I remember working in a produce store in 1982 and I would play the Juggernaut album over the store stereo system before the public came in. It took me 40 years to do a tribute to 'Ditch Queen' and here it is. This was the last Frank Marino album I really liked and this was his peak. I'm playing faster to mimic the Marino style and this is about as fast as I can play without a pick. This is a good example of a very simple two note rhythm that is perfect for soloing.

In the theatre I saw 'The thing', Star Trek Wrath of Kahn, Poltergiest, ET, The road warrior, Rocky 3, First blood, Blade runner, Tron.
