Shredder Of The Month

Welcome to the SHREDDERS ANONYMOUS "Shredder Of The Month" section. Each month we will select a different "lightening fast" guitarist and feature them here. Hopefully we will have enough amatuer participation to focus on that aspect of our site. We will bring out a short interview with the featured artist as well as a run down of their equipment and anything else that they want to share with you, If possible that is.



Shredder Of July:

Chris A. Erikson, THATS ME!!!



Reason: Because I KICK ASS, I have spent countless hours on this site, Im a pretty damn fast and good shredder (As many have told me) AND the MAIN reason: Its my birthday today so i thought i would give myself a birthday present! HAHA...Dont worry Shredders, next month you'll have a real shot at the throne! But untill then its MINE!



The Song/Clip That Made Us Choose This Months Shredder:

The End Is Here
From "Last Sunrise Demo" (1Mb, Rename .zip to .mp3)

Chris: This is song is Semi-Pro made...It kicks ass compared to anything i have ever made before and there is some damn fast shredding in it. I would say its "Yngwie Meets Slayer". But dont take it from me....Listen to it yourself!



Interview With Chris A. Erikson

Interview By: Chris A. Erikson

Date: 9th July 1999


Chris: So Chris....Hows it goin?

Chris: Oh just fine...Just got done updating the Shredders Anonymous site.

Chris: Thats cool...i love that site...Good work! But we cant forget "FREEK" and Golly!

Chris: What?!!? Those lazy bastards! The only thing FREEK did was the Graffics and Golly posted some Mp3's n Tabs. Im tellin ya...i gotta do all the grunt work around here

Chris: I Feel your pain dude....If it would help out feel free to have sex with my girlfriend!

Chris: Sure! Thanks alot!

Chris: Well anyway...lets get to the standard BORING interview questions...

Chris: Ok...Shoot!

Chris: How does it feel to be a Cuban Crack Whore?

Chris: Huh?!?! GET TO THE REAL QUESTIONS PLEASE!

Chris: Just kidding...hehe...ok, First Question: How did you make this song and what are you playing on it?

Chris: I made this song on my OLD Pentium 120, with helf of some good programs (Mptracker, Cool Edit Pro and Soundblaster Wave Editor). I layed down the drums first by copying and pasting drum samples, That took ages to get it right! Then i recorded the rythm guitar with a microphone used a multi-tracker (Cool Edit Pro) to mix it together with the drums. Then i recorded the synth using a program called Mptracker and mixed it into the whole thing, Then came the vocals and then the Solo guitars n stuff....Its a long process...Be much eazyer if i could do it in a real studeo!

Chris: Thats cool...Now to the second question: Why are you so god damn stupid that you choose yourself as the shredder of the month? And why the HELL are you doing an interview with yourself?!?!

Chris: Aaaahhh...The voices in my head!!!

Chris: Are you ok dude?!?!?!

::Chris runs out of the room woundering if he is going insane...haha::

Chris: Well i guess that ends our interview....Hmmmmm.....What a looney....


Disclamer: No Goats Or Cows Where Hurt During This Interview. A Cat did get hit by a car but that wasnt our fault. (Im telling you, it tryed to attack me)




NOTE: I am NOT insane....this interview with myself was just entertainment of our guests. Or perhaps i am insane?! haha! (As you have probly noticed i have a very twisted psycho sence of humor, but im sure it made you laugh!)
