just picked up the VIRTUOSTIC VENDETTA cd.i got away from neo classical,for a lil while and was playing alot of blues.
i have 6 stump CDs and for some reason i never picked this up whenit came out.
after several listens i think its his best cd.tone is still kinda thin but his rhythm playing def shines.
songwriting just went up a cpl levels too.sure he sounds like yngwie/blackmore,but he does it very well.
thumbs up from me.
Yeah, good album that. I like Joe Stump, seems like a nice guy too. The good thing is that he actually freely admits being heavily influenced my Yngwie unlike a good few other players out there.
