The opener was JOY BASU, the self-proclaimed man behind the &#8220;Mashups,  Remixes and Originals with Live Guitars&#8221;. He is extrememly well known around the  globe already for the very fact that he is many top pop acts sit-in guitar  player when they perform on TV and the such, household names like Jessica  Simpson. He has performed on many well known national TV shows like The Late  Show and so many countless others.<\/p>\n<p>Next up was a performance by a man that really should need no introduction.  But he does, because he&#8217;s still pretty much making his way through the red tape  of the business on the way to being crowned one of rock&#8217;s brightest living  guitar talents. The man is Ken Steiger. The band is PROJECT STEIGER. They  flatout ripped everyone sitting in the audience a new asshole. I wish I could  come up with a more delicate way to put things, I just can&#8217;t. It literally took  me two songs after the opening song &#8216;KT Boundary Event&#8217; from his latest  instrumental full-length album: Defiance, to realize that I was still on planet  earth. His soaring and electrifying crush of one fist-pumping shred-off after  the next, became almost too much to handle at one point for me. And the set  actually started off with a sinister-like impromptu jam between Steiger and his  band, spearheaded by the monster drumming assault of Duayne Howard.<\/p>\n<p>Read Rocket&#8217;s complete review @metalunderground.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metalunderground.com\/news\/details.cfm?newsid=24542\">http:\/\/www.metalunderground.com\/news\/details.cfm?newsid=24542<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"k\" src=\"http:\/\/i66.photobucket.com\/albums\/h259\/rsid999\/mu666-1.gif\" alt=\"k\" width=\"435\" height=\"56\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit Project Steiger on MySpace:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/projectsteiger\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/projectsteiger<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>blank_page This was definitely a night of explosive surprises that I didn&#8217;t see walking into&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[16,26],"class_list":["post-3676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-metal-reviews","tag-latest","tag-metal-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3676\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
