That guitar...is really cool. It's very unique and gets ya sucked in. I like those little pinch harmonics thrown in. This stuff is very Vai, Satch, Johnson like. The picking is very clean and solid. The backing guitars sound great with the lead too.

Kick ass guitar solo in the beginnig with solid drums. Holy shit this guitar player is good.

DZAMN!!!! Greatest Guitar Playing I have heard in a long time! Need more...!!! Reminds me of Classic Rock/Randy Rhoads/Bluesy guitar playing. That kind of playing .... a 5 out of 5!

"...VERY reminiscent of a Dream Theater instrumental."

"Luke Rake is a purely instrumental act (A Damn Good one, Too). I checked out his Mp3 page recently, And being the metal fan that I am, Automatically went to the song entitled "Metal Mania". At first this song reminded me of Yngwie until the heavy power metal influences broke in at around the middle of the song.
This caught me by a huge surprise! I am a BIG fan of power metal guitar, And i was not dissapointed by "Metal Mania". This display of raw 80s driven metal leads will take you down memory lane for sure. This is a great artist and an AMAZING song"

"It actually tears at your heart and works its way up and causes your entire body to tingle. I mean, this is just SO good that I am really at a loss for words...this track is pure audio instrumental orgasmic bliss "
