At least it has that "worn" look now. Eat your heart out Gibson. lol

And you would have paid big bucks for Gibson to do that to your guitar for you

That doesn't surprise me - they make a nice axe.

I would love to ask Vicki Peterson from the Bangles what made her drop Carvin...

Michael Steele is no longer with the band - she's retired and now painting. They use a session bassist when out on the road - not sure about who's playing on their studio recordings though.

Get on it Zed! Lemme know how the rebuild goes.

Hey - anybody know if Slipknot is still making their replacement bassist
play behind a barrier?

I can understand them getting choked up about losing a bandmate, but I
think it's time to bring the new guy out and move on.

I don't see how those guys go so hard for so long at a gig....wow.

I got nothing but RESPECT for that.

Here's Skynyrd's "guitar army" at their finest (sorry to rip off the Outlaws' catch phrase)

There's a drummer's nugget in this for you too HB.

As you may (or may not) know, Artimus Pyle POUNDED the drums.

Check out the CHUNK missing from his left crash at the 3:06 mark.

That was for the 2011 tour - it's very cloudy if they are going to hire a new bass player from what I have read.

Currently demos are being made for a new album but that's all I have for info.
