Scott Metzger

About Me

"Scott sat in with Gov't Mule at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Connecticut for our encore performance of Neil Young's 'Cortez The Killer.' No rehearsal whatsoever, we just winged it, Scott playing totally by instinct and intuition. He did a great job."--Warren Haynes, The Allman Brothers/Gov't Mule
"He's a great guitar player."--Dean Ween, Ween
"The way that he can get one note to sing, that's what Metzger brings to the table that a lot of younger guys don't have. Also, he moves from one genre to the next so seamlessly."--Marc Brownstein, The Disco Biscuits
"If anyone is paying attention, he's one of the under-sung treasures on his instrument."--Aaron Kaycman, Jambase.com
"...in particular guitarist Scott Metzger, whose guitar licks exploded like whiskey epiphanies."--Richard Gehr, The Village Voice
"...the former RANA and Particle guitarist played with both an incredible confidence and a sheepish vulnerability that worked to sheer perfection. How the room isn’t packed every time he takes the stage is one of life’s great mysteries."--Slade Shomer, Glidemagazine.com
"Scott Metzger became a legend that night from my relatively obscure knowledge of him....just when you expect a ripping solo, he stands and delivers."--Michael Guzaski, Livemusicblog.com
"If you ain't heard Metzger, you got to hear this... if you have, you've already got your tickets."--Silver Wrapper
"Metzger is clearly one of the most talented and versatile guitarists in the scene."--Shane Handler, GlideMagazine.com
