My Take

Al Pitrelli is the kind of musician whose name casual fans miss but whose fingerprints are everywhere. Born in New York City in 1962 and trained at Berklee, he's best known for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but his resume reads like a tour through rock history: Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Savatage, plus session and touring work with Celine Dion, Michael Bolton and Blue Oyster Cult. What strikes me is his versatility, sliding between thrash metal and orchestral arena shows without losing his identity as a guitarist. I have a soft spot for players who build careers on craft and reliability rather than solo stardom.
