Can slide guitar REALLY work in a shredding metal solo? 😱

There's a first time for everything, and this is mine for.....slide guitar. 🧐
Recently, I was tasked by power metal band "Thunder And Lightning" with learning some of their older material for a few gigs we're playing together this fall and struggled quite a bit with coming up with a cool guitar solo for their song "Demmin". I needed to stay within the limitations of the original solo written by their former guitar player, but also wanted it to be what I try to make every single Fountainhead solo I've ever recorded: different and, for lack of better words, "fresh". After scrapping a few different attempts, inspiration struck in the form of my buddy @KevinHeiderich and a recent video he released which the slide into a tech-death solo. So I decided to try the same here, and 🔥 , it became the final result. There is also a fun little irony here, as Kevin later told me that my #fretlessguitar playing was the initial inspiration for him using the slide in the first place. 😃🙌
Anyway, there you have it - my first time using a slide in a metal solo, I hope you enjoy it and maybe try the idea yourself! 🎸 What did YOU think - should I do this slide thing more often in the future? 🤷

For the tone, I used the amazing @NeuralDSP
Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ plug-in, which recently has become a staple in my studio-work with its spot-on recreation of some of my favorite guitar tones in history - I highly recommend checking this one out! 💯
Best, Tom.
