Back in 1983 an album was released by an almost unheard-of band named Steeler. The band’s guitarist was someone whose name I couldn’t pronounce “Yngwie Malmsteen”. The band was just another 80’s metal group but the guitarist blew me away. Track 4, side one, was entitled “Hot on Your Heels” (remember when albums were big black plastic discs with two sides?) It began with a 2 minute guitar solo that progressed through flamenco to classical to a blazing fast hammer-on metal solo and proceeded into the rest of the song. I had never heard anything like it.
