Espetacular e inusitado, são as duas palavras com as quais eu descreveria esse rapaz. Ele toca muito, absurdamente. Seu estilo é à la Hendrix/SRV, lembra bastante os mestres influentes. Já tocou com muitos considerados mestres do blues/jazz e seguiu em turnê com os membros da Double Trouble e da Band of Gipsys (respectivamente as bandas de SRV e Hendrix) fundando até uma banda chamada Band of Trouble em homenagem. Bom, falar mais o que? Só ouvindo pra saber mais...

Lance Lopez - Live (2007)
REVIEWKiller “Live” disc from bad-ass Dallas blues/rock stratmaster Lance Lopez featuring 8 tracks (65 minutes) of brain-damaging, over-the-top, raw, gut-wrenching, Hendrix- inspired, blues/rock heavy guitar power trio fury captured “live without a net”. Recorded “Live in Holland” on his Euro-2000 tour, L.L. goes straight for the jugular and takes no prisoners as he unleashes a torrential downpour of killer riffage and mind-blowing licks from his beat-up Strat. The “LIVE” disc is further proof and a testament to the fact that Lance Lopez reigns supreme in the world of serious bluesy heavy guitar rock.
Coming straight out of the gate with a killer, heavy version of "Spanish Castle Magic" by James Marshall Hendrix, Brother Lance Lopez makes his presence known and pays “homage” to our “Main Man” and does the “Father of Heavy Guitar” proud with his raw, hard-assed, unabashed version. LL is “on fire” as he rips his poor axe apart like a “pitbull on steroids” on this track & thru-out the killer “Live” disc, ending the disc on a good bluesy note with a phenomenal 12 minute “slow blues burner” in the form of the classic, self-penned “Everytime I Turn Around”. Complete with an outstanding 5 minute instrumental slow blues guitar intro jam featuring the Dallas stratmaster diggin’ deep in his back pocket for dynamic, fluid blues licks on par with the late, great SRV, ”Everytime I Turn Around” is what the REAL blues are all about and this stellar track is L.L.’s ultimate “musical tribute” to the blues. As an added bonus and as our way of saying thanks, we have included a mind-bending, awesome, over-the-top, extended Live version of “Hear My Train A Comin’” as a “HIDDEN BONUS TRACK” on the “Live” disc where Lance Lopez takes his guitar rite over the edge and into a new heavy guitar dimension. L.L. plays his guitar on this killer Hendrix jam like a man possessed and as if his damn life depended on it. As if the “Live” disc wasn't kool enough, this killer heavy guitar “bonus” jam alone is worth the price of admission. Somewhere in Heavy Guitar Heaven Brother Jimi is smiling down upon us.
The Lance Lopez: "Live" disc is a killer slab of brain-damaging, blues/rock heavy guitar madness that is HIGHLY recommended to fans of HENDRIX (long live the musical spirit of JIMI), FRANK MARINO, ROBIN TROWER, ERIC GALES, KING'S X, S.R.V., DOYLE BRAMHALL, EDDIE HAZEL, LENNY KRAVITZ (imagine Lenny Kravitz meets Hendrix!!!), STEVIE SALAS, RICHIE KOTZEN, JOE BONAMASSA, (early vintage) ZZ TOP, INDIGENOUS, CRAIG ERICKSON, BUDDAHEADS, SKY HIGH & CLAS YNGSTROM, WES JEANS, KAMCHATKA and just about any other killer get-down rippin' blues/rock axeslingers you have ever heard. Fans of his four previous killer Grooveyard discs: “Wall of Soul”, “Simplify Your Vision”, “Higher Ground” & “First Things First” will heavily dig the awesome “Live” disc. You can run but you can’t hide from the blues/rock heavy guitar fury of the bad-ass Dallas axeripper. L.L. is gonna getcha on the “Live” disc.

Lance Lopez - Wall Of Soul (2004)
REVIEW"Wall Of Soul", the second studio disc from young, gifted blues/rock axeslinger Lance Lopez of Dallas, Texas, features 12 killer trax (62 minutes) of outstanding,
powerful, intense, bad-ass, funky, bluesy, retro-70's Hendrixy heavy guitar power trio rock of the highest order.
On "Wall Of Soul" (his first disc for GROOVEYARD RECORDS, a new label dedicated to TOTAL GUITAR), Lance Lopez digs deep and produces an amazing set of awesome powerful bluesy heavy guitarriffage that is all his own and easily hits classic status. Lance Lopez is a true heavy guitar hero andriffmaster supreme. He also has an amazing powerful soulful voice that is the perfect match for his tough, bad-ass heavy guitar riffage. The "Wall Of Soul" disc is by far his finest hour and ultimate musical statement to date.
In creating the music for the "Wall Of Soul" disc, Lance Lopez has found the ultimate rhythm section to round out his heavy power trio in the form of John Garvin on drums and Daniel Williams on bass. Two awesome players in their own rite who lay down the perfect foundation / groove for brother Lance to trip his awesome heavy guitar riffage upon. And as an added bonus, the "Wall Of Soul" disc features special guests and good musical brothers ERIC GALES and DOUG PINNICK (KING'S X) on several killer trax. Eric Gales co-produced and lends his mega-awesome rippin' Hendrixy heavy guitar riffage on 3 killer trax and Doug Pinnick sings lead vocals on the epic classic last track: "Time", an amazing deep nine minute musical document that features both Eric Gales and Doug Pinnick along with brother Lance. "Time" is the perfect way to wind-down this amazing disc. The "Wall Of Soul" disc also features two killer heavy bad-ass cover trax in the form of "Spanish Castle Magic" by Jimi Hendrix and "Shame The Devil", a way-kool obscure Robin Trower track. Brother Lance gets down hard and does musical justice on both trax.
"Wall Of Soul" is an awesome heavy guitar disc that is HIGHLY recommended to fans of JIMI HENDRIX (long live the musical spirit of JIMI), ROBIN TROWER, FRANK MARINO, ERIC GALES,KING'S X, S.R.V., DOYLE BRAMHALL, EDDIE HAZEL, LENNY KRAVITZ (imagine Lenny Kravitz meets Hendrix!!!), STEVIE SALAS, RICHIE KOTZEN, JOE BONAMASSA, SKY HIGH and just about any other killer get-down rippin' blues/rock axeslingers you have ever heard. Lance Lopez is the "real" deal and he's definitely right up there with the best of them.
Combining a kool youthful funky image with musical skills that are unparalleled in the genre, Lance has played guitar with Buddy Miles & Lucky Peterson, gigging regularly in and out of Texas with his trio. He has also done several tours of Europe, opening for such notables as B.B. King and Steve Vai. Lance Lopez has built up a solid reputation as one of the up and coming heavy guitar stars on the scene.
The "Wall Of Soul" disc is the perfect platform for this rising young guitar star to step upon and reach the wider recognition and credit that he truly deserves. Never has there been a better time to take a musical trip with Lance Lopez on the "Wall Of Soul".
