Jeff Waters
Jeff Waters (born February 13, 1966 in Ottawa , Canada) is a Canadian guitarist, boss and producer of the thrash metal band Annihilator .
biography
He started learning to play the guitar at the age of eight. In 1984 he founded the band Annihilator together with singer John Bates . Especially since 1989 he has celebrated greater success with this band. Alice in Hell , the title of the first album, was released in September 1989 and caused a lot of attention in the scene , not least because of the song Alison Hell . In 1990 he was offered to audition for the vacated guitar position at Megadeth . Waters refused, however, because he wanted to continue to concentrate on his own band. Since the mid-1990s, Waters has had his own studio in which he not only produces Annihilator, but also other bands. In 1997 Waters produced the album Remains completely independently. He played all the instruments (except the drums) himself, sang himself and used a drum computer to improve the CD. In August 2005, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine tried again to get Jeff Waters into his band as a guitarist. Waters turned it down again in favor of his own band. By 2015 he had recorded 15 studio albums with his band Annihilator.
