“Octane” Ringtone Now Available @ Myxer!
With the recent release of the final version of the guitar solo “Octane” as part of Whole Damn Nation, we’ve gone ahead and put together a free new ringtone over at Myxer (which is the coolest place to grab free Fear Zero ringtones on the ‘net!)
Independent Rock Act Fear Zero Gets Huge Boost at Digg.com
Monday night was a very exciting time for us here at FearZero.com!
Ed shared with us some of his insights into creating the new “Octane” guitar solo in a blog post entitled “6 Face Melting Guitar Solos”.
Not only did the solos melt our faces off, it seems they melted our severs as well! The piece was picked up by social news site Digg.com and we received so much traffic that the site went down for several hours!
The article got over 900 “Diggs”, or votes, from those visiting the site, and over 200 comments were left by Digg users, often mentioning their own favorite guitar solos.
“Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!”
Below is a solo I wrote called Octane which may be on the new CD. I recorded it quite a while ago and next week I will post a video of me playing it. This is a demo and will be re-recorded should we decide to put it on the new CD.

I wrote this after a request from one of Fear Zero’s managers that I do something to “prove” what I can do on guitar. It was a real pain to record and is probably the most demanding thing I have had to play guitar-wise. The influences are pretty obvious; Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen and a bit of Eric Johnson.
