Joe Stump

"Armed & Ready"
(Levithan Records)

Joe Stump's new instrumental release, "Armed & Ready," solidifies Joe's firm hold as the most over the top rock guitarist known to man! Joe was recently voted one of the top ten shredders of all time in Guitar One Magazine.

Citing influences such as Uli Jon Roth, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Gary Moore and Yngwie Malmsteen for this tour de force of guitar histrionics, Joe blazes through each of the 8 tracks with a no holds barred attitude. To even fathom that some of these tracks are first takes can only boggle the mind of the talent necessary to be so inventive, forceful, dynamic and emotional in this type of format.

This CD was originally recorded as part of the acclaimed Diginet Music Guitar Masters series. But, all parties agreed that this CD needed to reach a much larger audience and that could only be accomplished by a full fledged commercial release. The guitar series provided each guitarist with the same drum and bass tracks, played by Mike Haid and David T. Chastain respectivly, and then each player added his own unique parts over the rhythm tracks.
