Not many people can
keep up with David Shankle’s blistering speed and mind-numbing
riffs. That is why David granted him the nickname “Shreddy”,
and for good reason.
The amazing thing about Eddie is that he is completely self-taught,
and only started playing keyboards at the age of 18! It did not
take long for him to realize his natural talent as he shredded his
way through classical pieces from the masters.
By chance Eddie met Brian Gordon (DSG Bassist), who mentioned that
David Shankle was looking for a keyboard player to complete the
line up. Eddie originally went down to the studio just to meet the
guys and play them a demo. Figuring a demo was way too impersonal,
Eddie brought his keyboard and simply plugged in and played. What
David heard then just knocked him off his feet. Eddie was hired
right then and there.
“The cool thing is that Dave and I love to challenge each
other when it comes to soloing. We try to see who can come up with
the most insane riff at breakneck speeds”. |
