Nitro "Gunnin' For Glory" CD  
 
The "Gunnin' for Glory" CD by the band "Nitro" features the entire original band. The CD is comprised of demos from the first and second Nitro releases. Also songs recorded by the original Michael Angelo Band were added to this CD that were tracked within months of Nitro's first demos. The performances are mind-blowing. The disc starts with a song called "Freight Train". "Nitro" was billed as the Highest, The Fastest and the Loudest and they live up to their billing on this song. The vocals are super high, the background vocals are as big as the band "Queen" and Michael Angelo Batio plays one of the fastest and cleanest solos you will ever hear a guitarist play. You could say it is "perfect shred guitar"! This was Michaels second major label record deal. Singer Jim Gillette went on to marry rock superstar Lita Ford. This CD is a great representation of the band. Every song "kicks butt". The performances, production and arrangements on EVERY TRACK are exceptional. This is an all vocal CD with killer guitar solos of course! A must have.

Pictured to the left is a photo of an article in the January 2005 issue of Guitar One Magazine focusing on Michael’s solo from the “Nitro” song “Freight Train”. They rated the solo a 9.8 out of 10 in technical difficulty. 10 being a solo that is impossible to play!
