This week we return with the series that celebrates those that have the gift of vocals AND chops as The Dual Threat! Excelling at an instrument is hard enough. But, to master an instrument and sing at the same time? That's another level of talent. This week we're celebrating some of our favorite singing guitarists. Some that we've teased at in the episode art come to mind immediately but there's plenty more to celebrate. We hope this series will help listeners appreciate the legends, get turned onto muscians/bands they didn't know before, and open up a dialogue on who YOU, the listener, thinks should be on this list. We can't wait to hear from you. We hope you enjoy The Dual Threat - Guitarists Edition and SHARE with a friend! Decibel Geek is a proud member of the Pantheon Podcasts family. Contact Us!

This week we take a look at the studio catalog of 90's band Slaughter. Formed in 1988 by ex Vinnie Vincent Invasion members Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum, the duo recruited guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias before getting to work on their 1990 debut album 'Stick it to Ya.' Riding high on the success of singles such as 'Up All Night' and 'Fly to the Angels,' the album sold well and secured the band a slot on KISS' 'Hot in the Shade' tour. 1992's followup album 'The Wild Life' would show solid sales but telltale signs of a tide shift in the music business. Without major label backing, Slaughter would go on to release 3 albums for independent label CMC Records; 1995's 'Fear No Evil,' 1997's 'Revoluion,' and 1999's 'Back to Reality.' Mark Slaughter would go on to record two solo albums; 2015's 'Reflections in a Rear View Mirror' and 2017's 'Halfway There' but Slaughter remains out of the studio. Will that change? Only time will tell. This week we pick our "best" and "worst" song from each Slaughter studi
