Di questo musicista, che ho incontrato in occasione di alcuni "guitar clinik", apprezzo particolarmente il gusto compositivo e la straordinaria capacità di esaltare sfumature sonore di grande intensità. Sarebbe inutile parlare dell'esecuzione raffinata e del controllo sopraffino... Un autentico maestro della "sei corde".

Até hoje me arrepio quando ouço esses solos. Solos estes que encantava a minha adolescência. Obrigado, Kiko!

Foi a partir dessa música que conheci o Angra. Eu liguei a TV e Tava passando o Kiko tocando essa música no Jô...daí eu fui pesquisar.

Good on you, Kiko. You got it all worked out just right, you can shred and play the aggressive sounds that Megadeth needs, but you can also play nice melodies too, and you can do both of em well! I think that's a whole other level of success for a musician, to successfully play multiple styles.
