lol you put Michael Angelo, lol couldnt you have made the list complete and put the most unlistenable shredder on earth Rusty Cooley?

 

[Bear]

I actually don't own any Rusty Cooley yet, but Marcel talks about him all the time. But I think Michael Angelo's solo cd No Boundries is awesome despite the drum machine,have you heard it???
