    His use of the whammy bar is so musical and melodic, the best with one imo.

      Of course, that's brilliant among all his techniques played with precise touch, the incredibly pristine sound and over all the pretty good taste. I think one important influence in Andy's whammy bar technique is the style of Brad Gillis.

    THEM is one of the greatest collection of compositions ever created. The story itself is mind- bending. The attic, The cellar, Grandma, Missy, King, The old house... but what attaches it all together are the mood swinging solos. It's like the guitars are freaking out as well. Andy AND PETE were phenomenal on this album. Thank you so much for this!!! So very well done!! Enhanced the rest of my life. Thank you!!!

    He is to Heavy Metal what David Gilmore is to Progressive Rock - his harmonies are sublime and full of narration. They're not just pretty sounds, they tell stories.

      Andy used it well but never made it his identity which is why his solos are unpredictable and memorable. Yngwie while amazing never broke away entirely from it.

    Andy LaRocque is the most underrated guitarist of all time! Uniquely melodic and haunting style, crazy technical and doesn't matter how many times i listed to KD, my jaw always hits the floor.
    The only album by Death i like is Individual Thought Patterns and could easily be attributed to Andy's playing on it!

    Talk about technique, Andy is just a monster. I recorded an album with my band at his studio in Sweden about a year and a half ago, and I'm a MASSIVE fan so I was trying my hardest to keep it professional and not fanboy too hard, and then he picks up one of our acoustic guitars while my guitarist was in the bathroom and played some like classical arpeggio thing just to check how that guitar sounded, played for maybe about 8 seconds and my jaw was on the floor lol, I've seen him live plenty with KD but just something about his technique, on an acoustic, 5 feet in front of me..man that guy..

    • @miketheunholy_shred

I really want to learn his solo in Victimized, Black Horsemen would also be great.

    No wonder Chuck Schuldiner wanted him so bad in Death as the man Himself said in an interview. LaRocque was nonetheless professional enough to decline in respect for King Diamond. Among many others from Individual Thought Patterns, Trapped in a Corner has one particular hell of a solo thanks to Andy LaRocque.
