In 1996 I went to ProSound in Denver on Evans and bought the new Roland VS-880. The next day I hopped in my car and drove to Las Vegas and handed Adrian the box. I told him to create some songs I can listen to while driving because I loved his jams that were influenced by Surfing with the Alien and other feel good instrumentals. He took the VS-880, the world's first true digital audio workstation and delivered 15 new songs that were some his greatest songs ever! DVN8SHN is a song that has always been in my Adrian Top 10. Enjoy!
Adrian English: hypersonic shredder passes away RIP
My sympathies and condolences to the family and friend of Adrian English. I've known Adrian a long time when his demos were circulated broadly back in the day. His technique was terrifying and arsenal of licks stupefying, he truly was a hypersonic shredder and his licks will be missed around these parts. RIP king of shred!
Bio
Adrian English
I go by 7shredder, when I was 10 years old I heard Eruption(EVH) on KPOI Hawaii's 98ROCK and it changed my life forever,I became obsessed with playing the guitar and at 10 was lucky enough to get instruction from Marty Friedman( Hawaii, Cacophony, Megadeth) when he taught at hot licks guitars (Makaloa Plaza,Hawaii). When he left to do Cacophony, a few years later I came back to hot licks and the teachings of Frank Paulino who turned me onto the entire(now)First Gen Shrapnel shredders.at 15 I relocated to Las Vegas and started playing nightclubs at night after going to school,and decided it was time to start writing instrumental shred but Hard core!
I then met Tony Lopez in high school guitar class(15yrs. old) hit it off and when we were 17 sent a demo to Mike Varney(Shrapnel Rec) with a very special Drum Guest appearance from Jamie Borden who toured with Neil Peart (Rush) and has been featured in star licks instructional videos. Mike Varney featured me in Hometown Hero's column July 93' Guitar World with Mike Romeo of Symphony X, and at 19 yrs old(1994) I landed in the top 30"pre"Auditions for Ozzy Osbourne when Zakk first left. all along the way Shredding it down with my band mates from Vegas Euthanasia, had to take a LONG break after a massive family loss, and got back into writing really serious instrumental shred, in the process had the opportunity to record with the original drummer from Apocrypha(Forgotten Scroll and Eyes Of Time) Mike Poe.
From there in late 08' a fellow shredder Pete Pachio introduced me to Mike McDowell and SHRED GUY RECORDS. I redid an old shrapnel demo song called FLIGHT OF THE BLUE PHOENIX w/ Pete guest soloing ,which was featured on Shred Guys SHREDDING ACROSS THE WORLD VOL.2,signed a deal in 09' with Mike McDowell for the full release of A.D.D. featuring Guest solo's - Chris Storey formerly All Shall Perish,while also being featured in Guitar Worlds on line videos to hype 2011's INNERPLANETARIUM my first full artist signing with SHRED GUY. Since the release of INNER P. ..I said "Its time"!!And started officially writing my answer to A.D.D.

Woke up today to the news of a friend passing away. Adrian English was a great musician, a great guitarist, and more importantly.....a great person. I will never forget our long phone calls and your great personality. Thank you for letting me play on your CD and sharing your musical journey with me. Rest In Peace my friend......
So sorry to hear of the early passing of my friend Adrian English. We shared such great moments together with the Shredguy Records/Rick Hanes Guitars families. His personality was so intense and his music matched it in the greatest ways. The man is alive in the music he left us.
Pete Pachio
What can I say about my brother in shred Adrian English ? He was that and then some. A great guy, friend , and partner . Together we created some incredible music. Some critics referred to us as the “ new millennium cacophony “ Which to both of us was a HUGE adrenaline rush and shot in the arm since we both idolized Marty and Jason . I will remember all the good times . Jamming , writing , hanging out , going to shows together . A HUGE memory is when myself , Adrian, and Jorge Galvan went to NAMM together to witness the racer x reunion . Right now , I am in a saddened state to not have my brother in shred alive . About a year back we were talking about a collab again , but , unfortunately life steps in and it did not happen . I promise to you brother Adrian that I will carry the torch for our genre of music . Your name and our project of Future Devastation Movement will carry on through the years and decades as being ground breaking . I miss and love you brother with all my heart . See you on the other side and Godspeed . Love , Pete Pachio

Gone way too soon. I'll never forget our phone call and your words of encouragement. "Velvet Rain" from this album was huge for me. R.I.P. AdrianEnglish

I'm sorry to inform our mutual friends from Hawaii and the guitar community of the passing of Adrian English.
Shred in paradise, my dear friend. You are already so missed.
... Adrian was such a great person and musician. I only knew him on here but we used to chat a lot. This is a huge loss
Toby Knapp
The word "shred" is used way too liberally when talking about guitarists. Adrian English is one of three people I've actually met in person that is worthy of the title "shredder". A devastating loss to the guitar community. R.I.P. old friend.

Your bio tells a great story of being in the right places with the right people , hows it going with shredguy ? is this another good stroke of luck ?
I actually was turned onto ShredGuy by 2 people, first awareness was through Rusty Cooley, 2nd with a fellow shredder by the name of Pete Pachio in 08' of whom we did a re-make of my demo song Flight of the blue phoenix (a demo song to Mike Varney Shrapnel records back in the early 90's) , Mike McDowell was kind enough to add us to the Shredding Across The World Vol. 2 release. He then added me on the roster of Vol. 3 with G-THEORY, which I redifinedin the release of INNERPLANETARIUM with of course a full band.
What do shredguy do for you as alot of guys just do their own thing and deals with record companies are quite rare arent they ?
ShredGuy has done alot in the way of getting contacts and full page adds in guitar world,guitar legends,fuzz,guitar plus,fire works and more to come. He has really taken more of a noticeable individual focus on the artist as well as been out to spread the focus on the label as well.not to mention he has a line of shirts that kick ass! more

An oldy but a goody from 2009 For fans of racer x and cacophony Music by Pete Pachio
All gtrs, and bass :Pete Pachio
Harmonies,additional leads A.. English
For fans of True SHRED w Melody
There are songs that really really hit home with me such as the cool Paranormally and the ballady Velvet Rain where Adrian at least tries to restrain himself (and does pretty well, adding some nice harmony work to the mix). Harmony Creek is another slow ballad where the melodies rule for the most part. He really shows he does have a nice sensitive side to his playing. Nice tone, great playing and an overall really great song. Album closer Closure shows another side as well, where Adrian brings out the acoustic and shows he does his thing also in this context. All in all a really great album, which shows a guitarist that has taken a huge leap since the first album. Well done, indeed!! more
Word on the street is the new Adrian English CD "Innerplanetarium" is smoking hot, packed full of melodic rock and typical state of the art guitar tactics, expect the arrival in March 2011!
Upcoming release is a full production. Full backing band, live drums, and the production skills of Frank Klepacki.. pre-sales will be available http://www.shredguyrecords.bigcartel.com/
Keep your powder dry and your eyes on the target and I'll let you know when it's available. ( may be I've been watching too many episodes of Lock N' Load?)
