Xander Demos: Guitarcadia interviews Xander Demos!

Xander Demos' guitar stylings remind me of the 1980s.

In that era, I was a newspaper rock critic, listening to hour upon hour of heavy metal guitar solos and hair nation bands. And I liked it!

So hearing his work took me back to what was, for me, a simpler time of cueing up a record album or cassette and sitting back with nothing better to do than listen to some wango tango grooves and blazing hot licks.

And yes, we actually talked like that.

Those were fun days when I didn't need to multitask or always use my time wisely. So I appreciate a good turn down memory lane.

But this young man, Xander Demos, is not a nostalgia act; he's a working musician, straight out of Pittsburgh, playing in not one but three different bands: the Xander Demos Band, Into The Arena, and Sabbath Judas Sabbath.

Okay, the last is a Black Sabbath/Judas Priest cover band, so maybe there is a little nostalgia at work here, but you get the idea.

I invited Xander to join us tonight to play a few tunes and talk about life as a working musician at the start of the twenty-first century.
