HEAVY METAL EXAMINER'S
REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "The Great
Kat should be feared because her hyper-blasting,
neo-classical, whirlwind guitar playing is so precise and
intense. This woman really is a better guitarist than most
men ever were. Beethoven’s Guitar Shred DVD is a portable
clinic of seemingly inhuman guitar antics. Dominating
torture, blood, fire, anti-terrorist sentiments – all
wrapped in an oddly tasteful, hyper-classical visual feast." -
Mark Morton, Heavy Metal Examiner

"The Great Kat, who you may know as one of the
fastest, fiercest heavy metal guitar shredders in the universe. I popped
it in, and was delighted to find some of the greatest heavy metal videos
ever made. This lady is hard core. She plays Beethoven's symphonies the
way he always intended: incredibly fast and covered in blood."

NEWSBLAZE'S
REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "Move over, Jamie
Foxx. The Soloist's insanely genius Juilliard apprentice is up
against some formidable competition, and she's female. The Great Kat
is basically showing the male competition how it's done, better and
faster. Her raging, fast forward in real time Beethoven's
Guitar Shred is like nothing that has come
before. A mix 'n match medley of Beethoven, Bach, Abu Ghraib and
Islamic insurgency. A classical/metal lovers everywhere wakeup
call, these mini-musicals for guitar, violin and machete could very
well blow your mind." -

"Beethoven's Guitar
Shred DVD: Burkas And Tattoos. Alternately donning pink
ribbon decked assorted retro-Victoria's Secret knockoff
period cleavage with bloody leather wear, burkas and
crucifix tattoos, Kat slings manically fuming guitars and
violins on stage." -

-
"'Beethoven's
Fifth' and 'Paganini's Caprice #24' get a boost of
amphetamines, going by in a blur of notes that's over nearly
as soon as it starts. Shredder acrobatics and shocking stage
show. The Great Kat's place as one of the top 10 fastest
guitar-shredders in the world is definitely secure! I can
highly recommend these to all fans of hers. Hear some
classics played at speeds you can scarcely imagine while
have your senses shaken in every conceivable way." -

FAN
REVIEW of "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD: "Modern, thunderous fusion of classical music and shred
guitar. I myself have never heard anything as fast as
what I just heard on your latest DVD. Monumental
product of perseverance, wit, charm and intellect
together with blood, sweat, tears and, most abundantly,
raw genius." - Abbas Jaffary
-
-
"Another
great DVD issued by the Great Kat. She looks great, she
plays harder, as always the Great Kat is above the rest. Paganini done by the Great Kat is how it should be done."
-
Jason Saulnier, Radio Host, Good Time Metal Oldies Radio
Show
-
-
"THE GREAT KAT is well-known as the virtuoso of guitar and the
violin as well as as the original interpreter of works of classic
music: Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, Paganini and others. The
artist is the champion of shredding. The works are played with
improbable speed - these are the very quick, mad and furious
compositions full of solos as well as brutal screams." -
Gnom, Metal Centre Webzine
-
-
"The
original Queen of scream and metal shred returns with a collections
of videos on one powerful DVD of intense metals that
only THE GREAT KAT can deliver." -

"Watching, and more so listening to, Beethoven’s Guitar Shred is
like the visual/audio equivalent of snorting a few lines of coke,
drinking five cups of coffee, and pounding a bunch of energy drinks.
The Great Kat is known as one of the fastest shredders of all time.
I’ve always been a fan of Kat’s interpretation of classical music
(the coupling of shred guitar, violins, etc. are phenomenal)." -
Bryer Wharton, Slug Magazine
-
-
"Blood + Beethoven + metal = Great Kat.
Uber-fast metal guitar wiz. She performed Beethoven tunes at top volume
covered in blood and shrouded in flames." -
Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
-
-
"The Great Kat has stamped a place in metal as not only a
virtuoso but also as a fiery character. This DVD is a collection of her
performing as a metal maiden, and the music videos are as enticing as
they are entertaining. It is indeed a treat to see any person play
instruments at such punishing tempo." -
Bill Zebub,
The Grimoire
-
-
"The Great
Kat is famous for her thrash metal interpretations of well known pieces
of classical music. Although she is an accomplished violinist, this
concentrates on her virtuoso use of the electric guitar. Kat gets
through a number of well known pieces at breakneck speed." -
David Burbidge, Movie Central.TV
-
-
"'Beethoven's Guitar
Shred' is ultrafast. 'The Flight Of The Bumble-Bee' rules. It runs
at the speed of light and beyond." -
Psychotron, Stereo Invaders
-
-
"This juggernaut of jammin', ferocity of the
fretboard, steamrolla of rock-and-rolla is, of course, THE GREAT
KAT!!! BEETHOVEN’S GUITAR SHRED, the new DVD multi-media
extravaganza which is nothing short of an aural and visual
blitzkrieg." -
Thom
Copher, Heavy Metal Hog

-
"Very exact instrumental interpretations and always
at full speed." -
Eloy Teixido, Won E'mer Webzine
-
-
"She possesses a prodigious talent, a virtuosic precision that
allows her to play classical transcriptions on her guitar at upwards
of 300 beats per minute. The Great Kat is one of those outsize
performing personas as well as a masterful musician."

FINANCIAL TIMES "BOWLED OVER, BEETHOVEN" FEATURES THE GREAT KAT'S
"BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD!
"Beethoven’s music performed by The Great Kat, a
Juilliard-trained musician and one of the fastest 'shredders' of all
time. Beethoven’s Fifth that is played with absurd velocity on an
electric guitar. Beethoven can never have found himself in
odder company than that of The Great Kat, and I amused myself
thinking what he would have made of it all. I like to imagine one of
his furious temper tantrums. But Mozart, a more ribald soul, would
surely have found it hilarious."
-
Peter Aspden, Financial Times
-
-
"On the new DVD 'Beethoven's
Guitar Shred', The Great Kat (a.k.a. Katherine Thomas) buzzes
through 'Flight of the Bumblebee' at a mind-numbing 300 beats per
minute. The classically trained musician claims to be one of
planet's fastest guitar players, and who can argue?" -
Lou Carlozo, Chicago Tribune
-
-
"The Great Kat’s
guitar playing is ridiculously fast.
Kat Thomas' tears in to The Flight
Of the Bumble Bee with accuracy and
speed. Her shred rendition of
Paganini’s Caprice #24 is also at a
mind-blowing speed. Beethoven’s 5th
Symphony is nimble, precise and
fast. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto
ends the classical shred on this DVD
with a bang and really leaves you
wanting more."
-
Scott, Metal Martyr
-
-
"The Great Kat plays at lightening
speed that it’s impossible to see
her fingers moving up and down the
fret. Layers upon layers of
intricate fast guitar playing that
will make grown men and women sell
their guitars. The Great Kat is a
musical enigma bringing together
what some might consider God’s
soundtrack and the Devil’s music in
a raging war. Great stuff." -
Jim Ody,
RoomThirteen Magazine
-
- "The Great
Kat takes guitar playing, classical music, and performance
wow-ness to a whole new level. She's outrageous, dangerous, and
ferocious -- she's The Great Kat - and if you haven't heard her
play yet, after you ingest this DVD you'll never be the same." -
Melanie 'Sass' Falina, UnRated
Magazine
-
- "FASTER, PUSSYKAT! KILL! KILL!" "The
Great Kat is tearing the masters a fresh one on her new
DVD, Beethoven's Guitar Shred. 'Flight of the
Bumblebee,' in the hands of the Great Kat, becomes a
teeth-gnashing, sphincter-seizing assault. The chick
diddles the fret board like her digits are nothing less
than an industrial machine." -
-
Jeanne F., Decibel Magazine
-
-
"Guitar aficionados marvel at the speed of her playing
and her ability to maintain such precision despite that
speed. Get a feel for what she's all about while
watching her fingers fly up and down the frets. Pick up
a copy and shred."
-
Larry McCloskey,
Domain Cleveland
-
-
"The world famous musical phenomenon that is called The
Great Kat is back with an awesome DVD. An outstanding
achievement on how Great Kat can shred these classical
pieces of music and turn them into extreme Speed Metal
with her genius virtuosity. Her ability to melt our ear
drums with her furious shredding guitar technique." -
Yiannis Z.,
Metal Temple
-
-
"Her ability to dazzle you with her speed and skill are
not to be missed. The classical music selections
highlight not only her shred virtuosity on the guitar,
but violin as well. Witness her lightning speed and
blinding virtuosity. While she is indeed quick and
nimble on the strings, she plays with a clarity and
exactness that belies her swiftness." -
Michael E. Carver, Michael's Movie Mayhem
-
-
"The sheer virtuosity of the woman is nothing short
of flabbergasting. I liked very much her rendition of Bach's 3rd
Brandenburg concerto. I have heard other versions including the
famous Switched On Bach version from Wendy Carlos and Kat's version
deserves a place in the list of famous interpretations of this
masterpiece." Jerry
Fielden, MetalAngels Productions
-
-
"Ultimate, electrifying, incandescent, revolutionary
musician." -
Naja Kemp, Peter Kemp's
Theatre
"'Beethoven's
Guitar Shred' is entertaining from beginning to end.
Jaw-dropping 'The Flight Of The Bumble-Bee'. She's
playing classical music tunes on an electric guitar
at around 300 beats per minute and you can hear
every note. Man, she nails it!" Rating: 4 stars out
of 4. -
R. Scott Bolton, Rough Edge
"What a blast!
This DVD was something else! Very fast guitar and
violin playing, a loud mixture of heavy metal and
classical played by a buxom gal in a leather halter
and black fish net stockings. Talk about roll over
Beethoven! I enjoyed the mutant classical stuff on
this DVD and plan on sharing it with other classical
music/loud guitar fans." - Andrew M, Home
Theater Forum
"Genius at
work in this metal masterpiece.
This Juilliard-trained violinist puts her
intensely fast fingers to new use playing some of
the fastest shredding you’re ever going to hear on
both electric guitar and violin.
Amazing version of 'Flight of the
Bumblebee.'"
-
Jonathan Knell, Campus Circle-
-
"Simply Astounding.
The Great Kat lets her fingers fly on the
guitar as Beethoven would let his fingers fly on the
piano. I would recommend this to any metal fan. This
DVD comes fully loaded and if you wish to a see a
truly talented artist, this is a Must have DVD."
-
David Slaughter, Blade Radio
-
-
"'Beethoven's Guitar Shred' is a very pleasant

I would give The Great Kat's 'Beethoven's Guitar Shred'
