Did the bass survive?, May 15 2005
By Michael Z. Williamson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kings of Sleep (Audio CD)
The power and force on this one is amazing. Serious rock, but very original. Some virtuosos bog down in technique and ignore passion and feel, but Stu nails it all. Guitarists Harry K Cody and Buzzy Feiten throw down some resonant, overdriven licks that threaten to blow out your ears as Stu destroys your speakers. I like everything he's done to some degree, but this one is great for driving late at night. But do use cruise control.Throughout, but especially on "I Want to Know," you can hear the music as a gestalt, no lyrics needed, as the imagery can't be put into words. That's the mark of a true instrumental performer. And it's a pity they didn't get "Black Ice" for the Matrix soundtrack. Have a listen and see what I mean.

Stu Hamm kicks some serious butt on this album, Jan 22 2011
By Brian "rendclaw" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kings of Sleep (Audio CD)
I loved this album from the moment a friend of mine lent it to me back in the day. From the opening of Black Ice to the final notes of Kings of Sleep, Stu takes you on a musical journey that ranges from the virtuosic to straight up rock out. Hamm shows that he can not only fires off notes with the best six-stringed players of the day, but he can lay back and groove with the drums as part of the rhythm section while the guitar player solos over top of it. Stu's playing is awe-inspiring, as he proved when he was playing bass with Joe Satriani. It shows off his high-level of proficiency, but it all makes sense. Anyone who loves guitar should own this album, if only out of sheer respect.Favorite tracks: Black Ice, Surely the Best, Call of the Wild, Kings of Sleep.

Kings of Sleep - Stuart Hamm, Sep 13 2011

I'm an 80's Metal gal....yes, big hair and everything. This was a cassette in my collection for many years and I used to play the heck out of it. Recently, I was trying to remember Stuart's name to repurchase the album. In my opinion, he is the best bass player ever. Victor Wooten is amazing, but before he was around, there was Stuart Hamm. Check out YouTube where the two play together. Happy Listening!
