My Favorite Atomik Tommy M Guitar Solo


Atomik Tommy M came into the band after the departure of one of my favorites Paul Chapman.  Although he didn't make the impact in the band that Schenker and Chapman, he was still an amazing guitarist that could really rip out an an intense solo.  My favorite guitar solo by Tommy has to be the one in "Night Run." Although this isn't the best song on Misdemeanor, it is so cool, and the solo is mind blowing and his best for sure.  He gets such an amazing sound out of his guitar, and even though it's a very quick solo, you feel every note, and it's just extremely memorable.  I kind of hear a Randy Rhoads influence on the solo in some ways. I really love how Tommy keeps the solo high on the neck, because it's a better place for his bends, and he gets more feeling down there.  This solo is truly fantastic, and it shows Tommy at his best. The song in general is extraordinary too, and it's definitely worth a chance for listening to.
