When it comes to rock guitar, Joe Satriani and Vernon Reid of Living Colour have been and will be on the top of the electric six string food chain for years.

Two of the heaviest guitar slingers around strolled into town a few weeks back and shot up the Paramount Theater with their stunning guitar pyrotechnics.

SMI Photographer Bill Bungard was there and captured some wonderful shots which you can see below.

Satriani was in town in June 2012 to play a show with the rock supergroup Chickenfoot. Read all about it by clicking the link below.

Reid was in town last year with performing with another jazz/rock/fusion supergroup  Spectrum Road at Dimitrous Jazz Alley.
