shannon hamm

• death'in sound of perseverance albumunde ve control denied'in the fragile art of existence albumunde chuck'in yaninda gitar calmis gitarist. chuck schuldiner'in olumunden sonra death muzik alemlerine elveda derken, bu abimiz de ortalardan kaybolmustur. ondan dolayi diger death eski death elemanlari kadar bilinmez.
• death'in son albümünde yer alan gitarist.chuck öldükten birkaç ay sonra rock market programında shannon hamm içinde beyininde tümör olduğu haberi verilmişti bizde hassiktir demiştik doğal olarak,şimdilerde neler yapar bilinmez.
• dimebag darrell'ın çocukluk arkadaşı. üstelik o zamanlar için dimebag hep "shannon benden daha iyiydi" dermiş. gitaristliğini bir tarafa koyarsak bile sadece bu 2 efsane insanla (dime&chuck) çalmış olması bile kendisine saygı duyulması için yeterli bir sebeptir.
• çeşitli yerlerde okuduğun kadarıyla chuck schuldiner'in çalıştığı en teknik gitarist olarak anılıyor kendisi, bilemiyorum ne kadar doğrudur.
• dimebag^*'in hakkında şu sözleri sarfettiği death metal gitaristi:
  
  "when i was first getting started with pantera and all, i used to jam all the time with this guy who used to totally outshred me. you know who that guy was, shannon hamm!"
  
  the sound of perseverance'ta da mütüş çalmıştır vesselam.
• kendisi kalp krizi geçirmiş ve hastaneye kaldırılmış, durumu şimdilik iyiymiş. ancak sağlık sigortası olmadığından ailesi çok zor durumdaymış, dolayısıyla yardım için bir fon kurmuşlar, metal camiasının yardımlarını bekliyorlarmış.

• kalp krizi haberiyle fevkalade üzmüş insandır. bir cenabetlik var bu bizim camiada ama çözemedim daha.
• çok değişik bir sağ el tekniği olan death ve control denied gruplarında çalmış olan gitarist. konser kayıtlarından gözlemlediğim kendisinin sağ eli hep sabittir çalarken sadece pena tutan parmakları oynar, çalıp çalmadığı belli olmaz. kendisine acil şifalar diliyoruz.
• kalp krizininden sonra iyileşmiş, aynı zamanda dimebag ile de sıkı arkadaşlarmış, burada da uzun zamandan sonra kendisiyle yapılan bir röportaj;
  
  q1: late last year you suffered a serious heart attack. how are you feeling today?
  a1: actually, i feel better today than i did before the heart attack. i have much better blood flow now that the blockages have been removed. unfortunately, it will be an ongoing process for the rest of my life, blood work, medications, doctors, cardiologist, etc.
  considering i would've been dead within an hour of 911 being called, it's truly amazing how advanced our technology has become in the medical field.
  
  q2: there is a benefit for you on january 23rd. will you be attending? if so, think you'd be able to shred a few of you're well known riffs for old time sake?
  a2: i will definitely be attending, and would love to participate. however, i don't personally know any of the bands involved or if they will be playing any of that material.
  
  q3: let's back pedal a few years. can you tell us what it was like being part of death and control denied?
  a3: i could write a book on this question alone, but to stay within the context of this interview i'll keep it to a bare minimum. being a member of such an influential band was the high point in my life, and also introduced me to the greatest people i've ever been associated with. it was almost surreal, a dream that somehow became a nightmare as i witnessed the breakdown of the most incredible and personable human being i've ever known, chuck schuldiner, r.i.p.
  
  q4: any new projects?
  a4: after the death tribute show in quebec on 12/13/2007, bobby koelble, scott clendenin, jon lee, and myself began working on a new project, but jon had to pull out due to personal reasons. nothing has ever panned out due to the lack of drummers in the area. i have a project called "beyond unknown" that will soon be released as an "in memory" e.p. dedicated to chris williams and chuck schuldiner, but the drum tracks are 10 years old at this point. chris was killed in an automobile accident exactly one year and one day before chuck passed, i finally decided to complete the recording in 2005 because i felt that chris deserved to be recognized for his incredible talent, which was taken away at a very early time in his life. however, if i eventually find the right drummer, i will be doing something new.
  
  q5: before death you were well known in the texas scene. is that where you're from? what's your back story?
  a5: i was born in florida, grew up in texas, and moved back to florida in late 1994. i played live all over texas during my teens and early to mid twenties before returning to florida and joining up with chuck.
  
  q6: not to name drop, but the late "dimebag" darrell said that back in the day you out shred him. was he just being modest or did you really out shred the shakespeare of shredding?
  a6: this is another question that could easily turn into a book, but for the interview i'll try to keep it brief. in the late 1980's, i was in a band called "metalstorm" based out of houston, while pantera was based out of dallas. at that time, pantera was basically a glam band and metalstorm was pretty heavy by comparison. terrance lee was their singer, and darrell was known as "diamond" darrell.
  it wasn't until phil joined in 1989 that they began to get heavy with a release titled "power metal" and "diamond" darrell became "dimebag" darrell. both bands covered the same circuit and i was at the peak of my ability, my solos were much hotter than anything i ever presented in death or control denied. darrell's comment was accurate because that's all i did back in the day, 24/7. when i joined up with chuck in late 1995 at the end of the symbolic tour, i hadn't even picked up a guitar in about 2 years due to my college schedule, and he hired me based on some bootleg metalstorm videos he had seen.
  
  q7: dimebag and chuck schuldiner, both are influential guitarists, and both had jammed with you. were you close with any of them?
  a7: absolutely, they were both very close friends, and there are no words to describe the realization that i live with every single day of knowing how quickly life can be taken. they are both gone, forever, and i will never see or speak to either one of them again. they were 2 of the greatest people that anyone could ever have the pleasure of knowing.
  
  q8: what do you think of the current florida scene? any acts impress you?
  a8: honestly, i can't pass judgment because i'm not very familiar with everything florida has to offer, but on the east coast where i live, it's pretty discouraging it seems to be very trendy, or very old and burned out over here.
  
  q9: do you believe that the blues is more metal than metal?
  a9: no
  
  q10: what is your wildest experience, professionally or personally?
  a10: watching a camera inside of my own heart on a television screen while being high on morphine wondering if it would be my final show.
  
  q11: a question i normally ask bass players. are you a dog or cat person?
  a11: definitely a dog person.
  
  q12: thank you for joining me, shannon. is there anything you'd like to say to the readers?
  a12: i'd like the readers to know that chuck was more than just a friend to me, he was my best friend, my brother. i keep the final letter that he wrote under lock and key, which explains the entire album, titles, order, as well as his final wishes. i will never be at peace until these things have all been carried out. i've been anxiously awaiting the completion and release of the sophomore control denied effort for almost a decade now, but due to legal issues it hasn't become a possibility yet. richard christy recorded all of the drum tracks in 2000, chuck recorded all of his guitar tracks, and i recorded 3 of my guitar tracks before the remainder of the budget had to be put towards chuck's medical expenses. ultimately, this created extensive legal issues between the schuldiner's and the label. i still need to finish my guitar tracks, steve digiorgio needs to record the bass tracks, and tim aymar needs to record the vocals. from what i understand, those legal issues are finally coming to an end, and i can't wait to see chuck's final work reach the public. i truly believe that this cd will stand up against anything in the market today, regardless of it's age or when it was written, because it is chuck's soul screaming out to be heard! cheers!
