David T. Chastain
All Music Guide
Although guitarists such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen received the lions share of publicity and commercial success during the heyday of guitar shredders back in the 80s, David T. Chastain has been slugging it out for just as long, yet never achieved the same level of recognition as the aforementioned instrumentalists. With his mastery of the six-string and talent for effortlessly reeling off lightning-fast
eo-classical licks, Chastain has been releasing albums since the mid-80s, either as a solo artist or as part of the bands Chastain and CJSS. David Chastain was one of the first artists signed to Mike Varneys Shrapnel label (which specialized in technically accomplished rock guitarists) -- resulting in such shredder classics as Mystery of Illusion and Ruler of the Wasteland.
