Shock 'Em Dead

As Angel lures Lindsay further into his dark mysterious world, the lines are drawn for a terrifying black magic battle against the ultimate evil.

Director Mark Freed recalled: "When we finished writing the script, it was obvious that the movie was going to need more than just an average guitar player to emulate the role of Angel Martin.

This ‘character double’ needed to be a heavy metal, highly skillful guitar player with a dynamic stage presence.

Two years earlier, I produced Michael in a Star Licks Productions instructional guitar video – hence, I knew of his incredible style and technique".

I don’t believe that he had heard the band tracks prior to the session – so, as a result, Michael took time to work out the main solo and harmony on a single-neck but would refer to the double-neck to verify that the two parts could be performed in a dual-necked fashion.

In our quest to get precision solos in one short studio evening, Michael performed his parts on a single-neck for instant accuracy.
