I have a couple spots left on a shred competition that will take place in Worcester on Friday, Sept 7th. Contestants will perform 2-4 minutes alone onstage to win over the crowd and impress the judges. Winner takes home a cash prize & more. This will be part of an overall shred-themed event featuring local bands and guitarists from the local metal scene, finished with a performance by shred legend Joe Stump.
Interested guitarists should email shredfest2007@gmail.com as soon as possible. If I don't know you personally, or to your knowledge have never seen you perform, include a link to where I can hear/see your shred ability. A few conditions for eligibility apply, email for more info.
Spots are very limited, act quick!

does that exclude him from the shred contest?
if not, i can pretty much guarantee the finals will be chris kessaris vs. dave dave dave dave dave dave davidson (if he participates)
[Aug 7,2007 9:40pm - Aegathis ""]
yea chris said seen as how 3HM is playing then hed pretty much be excluded from the whole shred contest thing, which kinda sucks cause I could totally see him doing this. I am in the contest and that also sucks cause i aint no substitute for chris K!
[Aug 8,2007 6:01pm - MetalThursday ""]
Yeah it could be taken as an unfair advantage if someone gets to rip it up onstage for a half hour with their band, then they compete in the shred-off right after. Which unfortunately excludes anyone in 3HM, Polaris, and the soon-to-be-named 3rd band that will be opening the show. They can take a shot at the reigning champion at the next one anyways...
[Aug 8,2007 6:03pm - MetalThursday ""]
This is real close to being filled up.

[Aug 9,2007 1:05am - cecchini nli ""]
me and kessaris were encouraged to bust out some little shred titties during our set, so i'll bring the bluegrass shred and kessaris can bring his kyke-shred.
put them together and you get the czech republic
[Aug 9,2007 1:18am - timjohn ""]
my buddy would probably be interested - and i fucking guarantee he could shred all your faces off! let me ask him tomorrow and i will have him email you if he is interested.
[Aug 9,2007 8:15pm - MetalThursday ""]
OK I also need one more band to open this. Not really looking for a death/black metal band. Must fit the overall theme, in other words, have one or two kickass lead guitarists who can shred it up. Ability to draw some people in Worcester helps.

also one more spot left in the contest!

i dont think it would be unfair at all, just judge solely on guitar playing and not from his band (i dont think thats hard at all).
only reason im putting up a stink is cus im pretty damn sure kessaris would be a contendah.
[Aug 9,2007 11:27pm - timjohn ""]
woohoo looks like mah buddy is on this show after all - as am i motherfucker!
time to bring the shred, fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Oh - this one's, uh, this one's awesome, this is the Michael Angelo preset, right here. Yeah, what happens is, Michael Angelo Batio drops down from the roof with four guitars, and slices your face open with each and every one."

"i'm gonna start this one on...5 million bpm and then slow it down to about 4... million bpm. You'll probably have to try 10 bpm because you'll never be as fast as me. And if you can't do that then just quit playing guitar. and then sell your guitar on ebay."
