bumblefoot was in guns and roses....underated?

He was in Fags N Posers. But nobody really knows about him anyway! I'd say underrated. People always compared him and Buckethead to Slash, and for christ sakes he's just a wanker.

I rank the first two albums of Italian power metal band 'Derdian' very, very high on my personal list of truly one of the albums ever. Not to say later ones are bad - they are excellent too

Wow, taking me back now. This band used to spam add you on last.fm and myspace, well, I didn't mind. Way better than the way things are these days with social media junk.

Correct me if I am wrong. This band popped up on my algorithm and I am not sure if they are known. They were like a breath of fresh air to be completely honest. The bio says award winning so maybe they were on TV over there, not really sure.

They did for me in last.fm. I don't remember if they actually messaged me or only sent a friend request. They had all of the same power metal favorites in their library, so I did check them out right away. There's maybe some things that kept them behind known bands for me, but as far as 2005 and 2007 releases go, for me they are top contenders when it comes to catchy melodies.
