oh yeah, why i came here instrumentals first
instrumental
Paul Gilbert - Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar
Liquid Tension Experiment - I and especially II
Jeff Loomis - Zero Order Phase
Marty Friedman - I've heard Deagon's Kiss and Loudspeaker, and both are good
Satan - Court in the Act (you'll probably have to download that one)
Artillery - By Inheritance
Thin Lizzy - Black Rose, Bad Reputation, Jailbreak, Renegade, Thunder & Lightning (All Great, Black Rose is best, but i think Jailbreak is the easiest to get into. Thunder & lightning is the heaviest)
Dio - Holy Diver, Last In Line
Deep Fucking Purple - (anything that has highway star, burn, and child in time on it)
Early Man - "Closing In" is good, they have an EP out called "beware the circleing fin" and the second album should be out soon.
Sodom - Agent Orange
Galneryus - anything really, it's powermetal
Revocation - Empire of the Obscene is the demo, and Existence is Futile is about to come out.
