Uri Gilad (aka Antishok) is 19 years old and lives in Israel.
Uri started playing guitar 3 years ago and is already an excellent guitar
player! "I just love Slash's tone
and I try to imitate it as much as I can, as well as trying
to play as half as well as him" - don't let his statement fool you: just
check out his renditions of some
GN'R songs (Don't Cry, November Rain, Estranged, ...)
contained in the Tabs section and you'll see
what I mean!
Uri plays Slash's riffs and solos all day day long just
for the fun and being a guitar player for living isn't on his plans - he
hasn't a band currently.
His gear consists of a Charvel guitar / amp and a Zoom
GFX-4 Multieffect pedal board.
Uri was influenced by Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana, Red
Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day but Guns N' Roses is his favorite band!

Petrucci and Jason Becker!
