Nice! I need to call him. I figured he was busy with his American Idol appearance.

He's coming to Detroit next month, I'll be there for sure!

I caught that. My wife called me to "come see this. Don't you know that guy?" as she pointed to the TV. George, tell Zakk to stick with BLS! :shock:

Zakk sent me this pic of his Metropoulos 2203 and a Marshall. The rounded chassis reveal corners really stand out!

Got to see Zakk after his gig last week. Hung out on the bus and talked for a couple hours. Really great time. We discussed everything from the Kennedy assassination to gear, to politics...you name it. Not what you would expect for after-show hang, but even better IMO.

Wow, that is an interesting twist and gamut of topics one would not expect! Sounds like he'd be a great invite to a barby and some PBR's, putting music and the industry aside. :toast:

Nice! I didn't know Zakk used Metro Amps!

Ooo Kennedy Assassination! What does Zakk think about the Magic Bullet theory?
