ALCATRAZZ Dangerous Games CD (Signed) 1986

By 1986, Alcatrazz had already burned through Yngwie Malmsteen and were now running with Steve Vai, which tells you exactly what kind of band this was, a revolving door of guitar gods held together by Graham Bonnet's unhinged vocal cords and a complete refusal to play it safe.

Dangerous Games is the third and final chapter of the original Alcatrazz run, and it hits different knowing what came before it. Vai's fingerprints are all over this record, slippery and theatrical where Yngwie was precise and classical. It's heavy metal shred at its most Hollywood, equal parts arena spectacle and genuine guitar clinic. Jimmy Waldo's keys sit right up in the mix where they belong, and Bonnet sounds like a man who has nothing left to lose, which is exactly how you want him.

This copy is signed by Graham Bonnet and Jimmy Waldo, two of the original architects of the whole thing. USA origin.
