Montalo, when I first heard this guy back in 1980 I thought now there's a guitar sound that's totally original and indeed one you'll not forget , and I never have ! It's brutal but also very warm and well you just know it's him. My man. Also there was a quality of songwriting on the 80's stuff quite unique at that time of blood 'n' guts and general mayhem. I still yearn for Steve-o though.
Montalo plays in standard tuning (E) but still has that doomy sound going on like let's say Black Sabbath.( who even played in C sharp to make it more doomy-sounding). He's got a biting overdrive with lots of mids (800 Hz & 1,60 Khz pushed) to obtain a full & warm sound for soloing. I love his tone because he gets the best of both worlds: an agressive rhythm sound plus thick solos à la Brian May . No one sounds quite like him !
Never heard a man with the voice range as good as this man has
King Diamond and Rob Halford also have amazing vocal ranges as well.
Excellent performance!!! But damn... what a voice!!!! Greetings form Venezuela.
Amazing... wish they'd come to the US!
Fantástico esse video, alguém sabe onde posso baixar algum show desses caras?
they are still one of the heaviest bands in the whole world.

man i wonder where steve bridges is now i cant find out anything about him but he's got one of my favorite voices ever
You are so right d:)
Rob do you recall what distortion Montalo uses on stage? Sounds like an MXR Dist +. Lemme know if you remember or saw the unit
I've no idea what Montalo uses, I know he only has one pedal on stage... It must be magic... Moon Magic
Indeed it is! Witchfynde rules.
Q full album
