Master Class

featuring Richie Faulkner  & Mike Stanley

Capture the raw power ofRichie Faulkner / GUITARAfter playing with Dirty Deeds, Voodoo Six, Ace Mafia, and Lauren Harris' band, Richie was chosen as K.K. Downing's successor in the legendary heavy metal band Judas Priest. Renowned for his smooth legato phrasing and lightning-fast picking alike, Richie has earned his place in the pantheon of distinguished metal guitarists.

Mike Stanley / VOCALSOne thing's for sure: when Mike belts out the powerful throaty vocals that are his trademark, you sit up and take notice. Mike routinely demonstrates his versatility while fronting the Las Vegas-based hard rock band Conflict of Interest, alternating effortlessly between melodic singing and death metal-style growling.
