Adam Bomb
If rock guitar were a martial art then Adam Bomb is the Bruce Lee of rock ‘n’ roll. Like a Shaolin monk devoted to efficiency of style and method. His fearless stage performances are a seamless tirade of rock licks reflecting his mastery of all multi-disciplinary guitar techniques. Considered the last one to leave the factory of guitar hero prototypes, Adam is a cult figure amongst the Illuminati and an iconic, living legend for guitar purists. To see Adam live is to be initiated into a sect of musical pleasure and to experience rock in its most molten form. Bearing witness to an approach that reverberate with uncanny intensity the inner soul of the instrument.
Adam reeks of rock ‘n’ roll in his stage presence, poise and charisma, apparent in every jest – for an audience amazed, mesmerized and in awe of the magnitude of his talent. Adam is a snake charmer who uses a guitar. Showman and entertainer who lives for the music and the pleasure derived from his interaction with the audience, no matter who, where or how many. Every chord is played as if it’s his last on earth. An orgy for the eyes and ears as his guitar wizardry hypnotizes the spectator. With a multi-faceted performance, using every technique known but in a maximal minimalist fashion. This is no effects pedal, manufacturer-sponsored geek idol. No artificial effects or tricks are needed when his stigmata hands create the sound directly as they marry with the nickel-plated steel. It’s rock ‘n’ roll stripped to the bare essentials. Adam owns the guitar and is the definition of “live performance.”
The list of names associated with Adam is hard to contemplate and attests to his inimitable reputation as a highly revered musician. Chuck Berry, Mick Taylor, John Paul Jones, Nicky Hopkins, Cliff Williams, Billy Idol, Johnny Thunders & Sylvain Sylvain, Axl Rose & Steven Adler, Flo & Eddie, Lemmy Kilmister, Dee Dee Ramone, Jimmy Crespo, Yngwie Malmsteen, Noel Redding and Michael Monroe. And the list goes on…
Adam remains perhaps the last true example of rock talent and the sole survivor of the breed. The real deal. A rock ‘n’ roll martyr. On a stage he stands alone. A force to be reckoned with. Invincible. And dangerous when lit.
