Pitrelli's solo's were pretty good by the time he got to Cincinnati, it must have taken him some time to master them, and deth played europe first then the US. I really didnt care to much for Jimmy Degrasso, Menza and Samuelson were both lightyears better.
Dave was a devout Christian since I first met him in 1990. That hasn't changed at all. He always advised me to look to the bible for strength. No joke.
