As a part of the later wave of Shrapnel shredders, Darren Housholder missed out on the exposure of some of his counterparts that came out in the 80’s, but his 3 records for Shrapnel in the 90’s set the bar high for shred. We cover his entire career including his album with Love/Hate, his brief time working with Jeff Pilson’s War & Peace, W.A.S.P, Enuff Z’nuff and a near-miss with David Lee Roth. We also cover how he ended up with George Lynch’s famous bomber jacket – and its return to Lynch.
