Artist
Born: 1989 Died: September 3, 2008 Guitar sensation Flash Bathory began strumming at age 13, rapidly picking up techniques without any formal training including sweeping arpeggios, 8-finger tapping and slide guitar. By 16, her passion led to lessons with virtuoso Mike Guerrero (Deathriders, Hellion, Carmine Appice), helping to refine her raw talent into a speedy, precise hybrid of neoclassical metal leads (ala Randy Rhoads) and agressive punk pulsings in the vein of The Misfits. Flash was first endorsed at age 15 by Minarik Guitars, followed by Tregan Guitars, Coffin Case, Luna Guitars and AXL. In β02, β03 and β06 she hit the road for Warped Tour playing her own solo set, as well as guest spots for New Found Glory, Sugarcult, Vendetta Red and many others. At 18 Flash has completed her first EP of original compositions, βScars and Bruises.β - source and notice of her passing User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
