Metal School - Guy Mann-Dude

[@guymann9567]

Well Metal School ...! Bravo ! This video was well done and I got a kick out of it ! I would like to thank you kindly ... David Eagle ( my drummer passed away a couple years ago . He played a big role and was a great friend . I miss him dearly ...The video here was very well done . Thank you kindly ..... Guy Mann-Dude

[@MetalSchoolChannel]

Thanks so much, Guy! It means a lot to get your seal of approval on this. I'm a huge fan of these albums and your guitar work. Thanks for checking it out!

[@guymann9567]

@@MetalSchoolChannel it was my brother who discovered this ... again, well done and funny too ! I’m honored you like my stuff. I worked hard on it ....

[@guymann9567]

@Steve M Hi Steve ... frankly, I didn’t know as much about sound and EQ as I did for my Mannic Distortion album . Michael Wagner taught me about mixing one day at lunch.... for Sleight Of Hand, I hand a Marshall I used for rhythms and a Music Man I used for solos... This album has a lot of mid-range... too much mid-range really... it was like start the tape and let me blow ...

This guy is also a hidden gem from the 80s : David T Chastain

David T. was one of my faves at the time. Saw him play at the Thirsty Whale many times. Have many pictures, autographs, and great memories! David and Leather would always hang out with the crowd after the show. Very cool, down to earth people.

[@bigguy130]

Guy Mann dude also worked with Steve Vai in The Out Band when he was still a drummer.

[@guymann7614]

Yes.. that was a fusion band that I had, and Steve played a few gigs with us. That’s when I started taking guitar lessons with Steve.

[@Darkseidx]

I remember seeing him on Headbanger's Ball back in 88-89' at a friend's house. When Paint It Black came on the whole room fell silent and everyone was in awe. Good times, back when Annihilator, Helloween, and Sepultura were the soundtrack to my high school days.

I first came across a copy of Sleight of Hand while working in a used record store in 1995 or so. I was more into punk rock and industrial at the time so gave the CD to one of my regulars who loved big guitar shredding material. He came in the following week asking for more, which I could not get a line on for him. This is some good ass good music :)

Ha! Wow.... I see this video has been out a bit, but I just was led to it now. I saw all the hype for GMD in guitar magazines and I bought Sleight of Hand right away on cassette! I played the heck out of that. It was in my car cassette deck for a long time! I even got a few friends into it. (Clusterphuck seemed to go over well!) I was just getting into guitar playing then, and it just seemed super cool. My memory wants me to think the 2nd album was not what you have pictured here....

I was introduced to his music in 89 or 90. I continue to have his music in my rotation today. I enjoy having metal music conversations and tell fellow enthusiasts, check out guy mann dude. This was a treat, and i will be watching your other videos.

[@wayneweightman6463]

If you’d really like some back stories to this video, let me know. I was the director/cinematographer and did the story as well. Lots of interesting tidbits behind this video if you’re interested.

[@efilnikufesina7532]

100% interested in any back stories you have...quick story! I was a hospital cafeteria dishwasher on the weekends during high school. I met a guy who worked at the hospital who enjoyed music. We would always talk about music and how we enjoy musicians like Joe Satriani among others for example. He asked me if I ever heard of Guy Mann Dude. I had no idea. He gave me his copy of the CD and said it was too metal for him. Lol, I still listen to him today. Ever sense internet was a thing with easy access, I would try to look up Guy Mann Dude to see if anything new was happening. That's how I found this video.

[@gothicmetalmaniac7424]

An amazing guitarist that finds amazing heavy rotation on my spotify playlist

[@stevelynch5843]

I remember this guy in the back of guitar magazines, my guitar teacher had his CD, as a guitar player myself, I can't stand listening to instrumental albums, can only listen to them so long then I'm done and if you listen close enough they just repeat themselves a lot same tricks, especially the shredders, give me a short awesome solo, (my favorite solo is Ice-cream man, V.H.) great fills, kick ass rhythm guitar and a singer with a voice to remember

[@cshamble]

Great to see you're still making music Guy, I remember your column in guitar school magazine. You mentioned that Ollie halsall from the band patto was an influence on your playing. I think he was an excellent guitarist, probably ten years ahead of everyone else and a big influence on my playing too. I read somewhere you were trying to contact Ollie for an interview before he sadly passed away. Would be great if you did as he didn't do many interviews and they ones he did he didn't talk much about playing and technique.

[@angryagain3801]

He had an awesome stage name , right up there with Amir Derakh (Rough Cutt I'm here to rock) I vaguely remember hearing some of the debut album. He was on MCA Records and MCA did not do much to promote any of their acts (Lillian Axe, Spread Eagle, Law and Order, Jetboy, the list is pretty long of bands that died on that label) This is a good subject for a "metal school" video. I totally had forgotten about his contribution to that SHOCKER soundtrack.

[@Elegant_John]

I discovered him 2 weeks ago in a music site. To be listen

[@johnchedsey1306]

I heard "On the Verge" and "Paint It Black" on a weekly metal show back in 1989 and thought it was the baddest stuff around. And honestly, this still is one of the greatest covers of Paint It Black to date.

[@godetonter4764]

Rudy Sarzo was a member of Quiet Riot ( never recorded) , Ozzy Osbourne ( never recorded), Whitesnake ( never recorded) , but people who didn't see those bands on tour can checkout Rudy Sarzo's Bass playing on Guy Mann Dude's short lived supergroup that provided a song for the blockbuster smash hit movie Shocker . Sarzo might just hold the record for being the member of the greatest number of extremely popular bands, but never actually playing on their studio albums

Here's some lesser known facts about Guy Mann-Dude, he studied guitar with Michael Angelo Batio in the 80's. He did great guitar work on singer Robin Beck's first album. And also, another top notch talent Jean Beauvoir contributed back vocal work in Shocker track.

[@The_G_FACTOR]

Good Guitar Player, I have some news about him. If you watch 1st Mike Angelo Batio instructional video (Star LIcks), Guy Mann-Dude plays the background track for the final off-runnin solo (you can read it on the ending credits) and he's the rhythm guitarist in the live shows in the same video with the Michael Angelo Band. He plays in Alice Cooper's "Trash" album (Guy Mann-Dude - guitars (track 2, 4, 7 from wikipedia), in Robin Beck's "Trouble or Nothin'" album he played guitars but there's a Alice Cooper's Trash staff reunion (Cooper, Child, Warren).
