A very Happy 68th Birthday to Michael Denner.A huge influence on me as a young guitarist in the 80’s-and ultimately,a very dear friend.Michael pictured here with King and Andy LaRocque during King Diamond’s 1986 “Fatal Portrait” tour. #Michaeldenner #Metalsky #Kingdiamond #Heavymetal #Fatalportrait

Michael Denner posted this on his personal FB page a few days ago-It’s hilarious to be sure,but Michael truly was not very happy with the image that the band(King Diamond) was portraying at that time-As great as “Abigail” is. #Kingdiamond #Metalsky #Heavymetal #Michaeldenner #Abigail

One of my favorite solos from Andy LaRocque.His solo at 4:08 is spectacular-Beautiful phrasing and execution.Also of note,I have to mention Michael Denner’s solo during the outro,which is perfection. youtu.be/RltB-zbqT6o?... #Metalsky #Andylarocque #Kingdiamond #Michaeldenner #Heavymetal

Great cover version of “Matriarch” from Montrose’s third album.From Michael Denner’s project,”Denner’s Inferno.” Also included on the album is a cover from Tempest,”Up and On”-Which featured Allan Holdsworth on guitar at the time. youtu.be/uTkjZxWbA3M?... #Metalsky #Michaeldenner

Another Michael Denner appreciation post.I love Denner’s solos on this track,very much rooted in the style of Schenker,with excellent melodic phrasing and timing.Andy LaRocque’s solo is from 1:50 to 2:30-Great as well. youtu.be/hHw1olE91YM?... #Metalsky #Michaeldenner #Kingdiamond
