About the Artist
Jim Reindel and Chris Hattingh have long been simmering just beneath the surface of broad international recognition for their mastery of the guitar. They are well known in the "insider" circles of the international guitar community, but have yet to break through into the mainstream of public awareness. This new album (in which they have joined forces) just may be the vehicle which enables them to finally share their music with a larger audience.

With influences ranging from Steve Vai to Rush to Jimi Hendrix to Al di Meola to John Petrucci to Joe Satriani to Steve Morse to Boston to Alan Holdsworth to Yngwie Malmsteen to Strunz and Farrah, you never know quite what to expect out of these two (except that the guitar playing is going to be stellar.....) While Jim and Chris borrow from their influences, they have a unique and instantly identifiable style and sound, no matter what genres they're tearing apart. Once you've heard them you'll never be the same....

Product Description
Too Old To Rock is the brainchild of guitarists Jim Reindel and Chris Hattingh. The band was formed in 2002 to showcase Jim and Chris's compositional and guitar playing skills. Their debut CD - Too Dumb To Quit - is an all-instrumental guitar-oriented album of 12 songs, mostly in a progressive rock vein, but with a few unexpected and delightful stylistic variations thrown in for good measure....

Too Dumb To Quit,Various Artists,TGIF,Guitar Virtuoso,Heavy Metal,Instrumental Rock,Progressive Metal,Too Old To Rock features the guitar mastery of Jim Reindel and Chris Hattingh - the music is all instrumental, mostly in a progressive rock vein, but with a few strange twists and surprises.

    5 out of 5 stars NEVER TOO OLD TO ROCK!!!.......2003-01-14

    The musicianship and technique speaks for itself on Too Old To Rock's "Too Dumb To Quit". Not only are the performances stunning, but the songwriting is strangely reminiscent of Jerry Cantrell's (of Alice In Chains) newest solo CD "Degradation Trip"...this caught my ear!!! "Pass The Geritol" is refreshing chord progressions and beautifully, smoothly played lead guitar. "Bingo Night At Emily's" is a touching, cinematic story----even though this is instrumental music, when you sit back, close your eyes, and listen, you are given a very emotionally driven landscape. My favorite guitar solo is on the chorus of "Bingo Night At Emily's". The music it tight and crisp, played by masters of their craft.

    5 out of 5 stars Too Old To Rock?........NEVER!!!.......2002-12-21

    WOW!!! This is one SMOKIN' set!! Jim & Chris make it loud and clear that guitar playing is something they will never grow out of! From the heavy opening riff in "Shuffleboard Champs" to the mellow groove of "Hair Today , Gone Tomorrow" to the deceptively named "Arthritic Shredfest" (CRIKEY!! I want arthritis too!), this CD has something for everyone.
    One thing that stands out besides the incredible guitar playing is that these guys had a blast making this CD.
    Get Older and Dumber guys! If this is what we get, it's worth every note!

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Instrumental Rock Guitar!!.......2002-12-16

    In a sea of "so-so" guitarists it's indeed refreshing to finally have a piece of work that represents two guitarists that obviously take what they do SERIOUSLY! From the "get-go" you realize, and are relieved, this is not just another blatant excerise in "guitar..." - but focused, concise and well-executed virtuosity! I've played guitar for 20+ years and in my opinion - this is the real deal! Well worth the money...

    5 out of 5 stars Bravo !!!!.......2002-12-15

    This CD was everything I expected and more!! Hattingh and Reindel's guitars seem to be feeding off each others energy...creating a diverse mind blowing musical ambiance unmatched by any other I have ever heard !! My personal favorite being "Bingo Nights at Emilys" Let's hope these two guitar masters never quit !! A definite treasure to my collection !!!

    5 out of 5 stars KICKASS GUITARS!.......2002-12-13

    Great CD! These guys are NOT too old to rock...but their humor is refreshing! The songs are well crafted, thought out and interesting. These guys aren't the usual Yngwie clones. They don't do 1000 mph arppegio's...but they do shred...BIG time. Lots of feeling an emotion in their playing. If I had to make comparisons, I'd put em somewhere between Eddie Van Halen (the early years) Hendrix, Vai, Satch, Schenker.

    Much to choose from on this CD. Many styles are highlighted but the main focus is hard rock/metal. I'd like to ask them how they came up with the CD title...cracks me up.

    I strongly recommend this Cd for anyone into instrumental guitar music. These guys are onto something great-
