Al
Pitrelli
Al
Pitrelli is one of those musicians who just seems to be way too
busy. He has played guitar for a myriad of artists through the years. In
fact, he has been so active that one really wonders how he finds time to
even breath between projects. His first recording was with Kathy
Troccoli in 1991. The following year shows Pitrelli giving his first
signs of being a workaholic. During 1992 he recorded with Asia, Expose,
Taylor Dayne, and {|Widowmaker|}. That year was to set the standard and
over the years, Pitrelli worked with artists covering a wide variety of
ranges. He has been a member of such groups as Megadeth, Blue Öyster
Cult (only as a temp for a month and a half), Savatage
and that band's holiday spin off Trans Siberian Orchestra. He also has
toured and recorded with Alice Cooper.

I'm sure that they
are many bootleg and foreign releases of Al Pitrelli's projects, but
due to the limited information and space, I wish to keep this list
for domestic commercially released material only.
