Critically Acclaimed Band of the Mid-Eighties with The Big Rock Tone
author: Mike Burns
The perfect collection of recordings from the critically acclaimed mid-80's rock band Alcatrazz offering up a clinic in Guitar Virtuosity from Yngwie and Steve Vai, Quintessential Hard Rock Vocals from Graham Bonnett, solid keyboard and bass support from former New England Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo, and Jan Uvena formerly with The Alice Cooper Band holding it all together on drums and driving it home. A must have for the archives!

author: Mp Miller
I just wanted to say that the statement above is incorrect . Malmsteen was the first guitar player, and was replaced by Steve Vai when he went solo to record Rising Force . Also, Vai was not an unknown . He has already plyed with Frank Zappa for years .
