More on Trey Azagthoth
Description from Wikipedia:
Trey Azagthoth (born George Emmanuel III March 26 1965) is an American musician best known as founder and guitarist of the Florida death metal band Morbid Angel.
Azagthoth has said that he is a fan of Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix. He began playing at the age of 16. His playing features much utilization of the whammy bar, complex finger tapping, extensive use of a Morley Wah-wah pedal and other effects, and wailing guitar solos that have a distinct tone fans attempt to consider his trade-mark sound. He also does synth work for Morbid Angel. He also cites Mozart as a huge influence and inspiration on his music. Paradoxically, he also claims most of his playing is purely from self-expression. His state of mind when he solos is what he refers to as the "Temple of Ostx". A collection of some of his famous guitar solos from Morbid Angel's six album "Formulas Fatal to the Flesh" were put on a B-side record entitled "Love of Lava" which later were included on the second disc of Morbid Angel's 8th album, "Heretic". His non-musical interests include anime his favorite shows are Tenchi Muyo and Gundam, his favorite video games which include the Quake series, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, and Metal Gear Solid (he met his second wife) and using his laptop.
Decibel Magazine ranked him number 1 on their list of the 20 best death metal guitarists. Trey uses Ibanez and Jackson guitars, and at one point B.C. Rich, but has stated on his personal myspace page that he has worked out a deal with Dean Guitars to make, as he calls it, a personalized "X-Core" V. He is most famous for using B.C. Rich Ironbird guitars and lately Jackson Warrior guitars. He was recently included in Guitar Worlds 50 fastest guitarists issue.
