When you think of the world's greatest guitarists, the names that probably come to mind are the classics, such as Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Eddie Van Halen and other renowed 80's heavy metal guitarists. However, one name often slides through cracks despite being universally considered one of the greatest guitarists ever to walk this planet by almost all of these men....
Above the checkered-walled unisex bathroom in Webster Hall in New York City, neon signs provided the sole source of light in a dark bar. The place looked abandoned, almost completely vacant and very gloomy. It's macabre tone weighed down on the eyelids of Dylan Walker, vocalist of Full of Hell, noisy patrons of "artsy grind core."
