Ivan, if we are going to discus Dick Dale's mid 60s albums... you've
gotta get your drag strip terms straight here!

My education on 80s shredder is minimal, I guess this has nothing to
do with surf music, but what pops in my head is Van Halen, Kirk
Hammet, etc. And that I wasn't hearing on much of Dick's stuff.
When I think of a lot of the shredders I know,I'm reminded of how
little passion many of them have, it's all about trying to play as
many notes as possible. It's unfair to say because I don't know
many shredders, maybe there are passionate ones out there. But when
I hear Dick's solo's I hear much more passionate energy.
