    Naw, hes a badass though.  I love their earlier stuff more than their recent but still have much love for everything they've done.  (whole band is talented!)  I'm guitarist in a band called Downside and I also have some other projects going on.  I'm headed to Nashville this week for a few days to write/record with some really talented dudes.

    How do you find the energy for a stage under the influence of a nasty-strong Indica like that? :o

     

     

     

    I'm naturally pretty hyper lol.  I smoked a j right before we played with my singer.  (like 5 mins before we went on) I'm pretty used to performing this way though.  I have crohns disease and use weed to help with some of the pain from that when I have a bad time.  I can't remember too many shows without smoking? lol

    Sean was pretty chill he sat in his van most of the time.  He paints a lot of stuff while on tour in there.  Dude has a great voice.

    That's a sweet ass guitar for sure.  I dunno man it is so hard to pick something like that!  For me its more about the instrument for sure. I'd love to have a really old black les paul custom like late 50s or late 50s tobacco strat.  Always wanted those two!!!  

     

    I love a lot of artists guitars though.  Even some of those early franken strat guitars Eddie Van Halen plays are pretty cool.  I've made a couple myself out of parts from dif guitars (sometimes shit breaks and i save the unbroken stuff for parts) Jimmy Page has a couple of really early les pauls that are pretty sweet!

    Werd, I'll make some sound clips soon.  Been recording a lot this week and next week also. (also building my rig up to handle the synth lol.  made a new road case also)  This is the actual synth unit on the floor on the right.  the left is my usual pedal board setup.  on the gigs i use the synth i use both.  The funkay sideways pedal is a tuner that cuts the guitar signal completely if needed. The midi foot controller on the left is to control my rack effects (rack is back with the amps)

    I use a ernie ball stereo volume pedal to mix it however loud i want with the original guitar signal.   It's a pretty neat setup actually that I'm using right now.  I use a soldano decatone for the right main channel and a marshall jcm 800 50 watt for the left channel.  The trick was making some custom switches to make both of the amps switch from clean/dirty at the same time.  (because the marshall uses old skewl switches and the soldano uses electronic switching)
