The Great Kat
As the High Priestess of Guitar Shred, Katherine Thomas is faster than a fat kid on a Hostess SnoBall run: She can play "Flight of the Bumblebee" at 300 beats per minute! But that’s not the only thing that makes her "special." She’s also quite talented at gargling blood, flogging puny mortals with her dominatrix whip, and enraging your commie-pinko friends: Her 2002 album Wagner’s War, a no-holds-barred response to September 11, includes songs like "Punishment," "Humiliation," and a cover of that tender Nazi classic "Flight of the Valkyries." Then again, the girl can rock a camouflage bikini, and her online followers (the "Kat slaves") think she’s just the soldier America needs. "In a sadomasochistic sort of way," says one fan, "[she] loves her country."
Has played with: Herself.
Cheeseball cred: Ranked among "The Ten Fastest Shredders of All Time," alongside Yngwie Malmsteen
Totally spoiling her crazy-lady rep: She studied classical violin at Juilliard.
