We were lucky enough to have the legendary Richard Christy do a signing for the excellent new Charred Walls of the Damned album, Cold Winds on Timeless Days, at  the MetalSucks/Vertebrae 33 booth at New York Comic Con last weekend. And, no shock, the signing was a big success. A whole lotta peeps swung by to hang out with Richard, who very graciously chatted with each and every one, took photos, signed CDs, and even autographed some dude’s prosthetic leg. No, I’m not kidding. It was fucking nuts.

We also had ANOTHER signing at the booth, though, and I’m sad to report that this one didn’t go so well: self-proclaimed “guitar god” Thor Shredsteen attracted a total of zero fans. Thor complained it was because of the placement of our booth, but that makes no sense since a) like I said, Mr. Christy managed to attract plenty of fans, and b) we were literally right by the front entrance. So, yeah, uh, Thor probably won’t be invited back next year.

ANYWAY, Metal Injection captured the entire horrific (and embarrassing) experience on video… check it out and laugh at the poor bastard below.

Yo, I don’t care what Vince says – fuck Yngwie Malmsteem, he’s a chump and a shitty guitar player. For my money, the best of the best is Thor Shredsteen. That dude can dance all up n’ down the fretboard like nobody’s bidness.

Metal Injection got an exclusive with Thor while he was in some Long Island shit hole studio recording his new album, Not for Nuthin’: Live From Buddakan, those lucky fuckers. Check it out below, and don’t forget to head over to Metal Injection for more bitchin’ videos.
