Cool pics!
Any youtube videos yet?
Would be cool to see the man who has his own Signature Marshall wailing thru a Metro!

Re: LA Amp Show Oct 4,5 2008
Soo...: Where is George ?
1: Recuperating in an oxygen tent somewhere, or:
2: Chained, with one of Zakk´s guitarstraps, to a workbench in a dungeon somewhere, trying to get his sig Marshalls to sound like Metros, living on a strict diet of red meat, cold beer, and pinch harmonics.. ?
Sounds like a cool couple of days. As much as I would have enjoyed watching Zirkus Zakk, Pete Thorn would have been the one to watch for me: A guy who teaches both "Dear Prudence" AND "Eruption" is my kind of player.

Re: LA Amp Show Oct 4,5 2008
George is probably an honorary BLS prospect by now and out in the Mojave desert as we speak on an initiation rite....hopefully he will escape in one piece and return to Flint to continue the Metro magick..

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would see the words "Kick Ass Rock N Roll Guitar Player" in such close proximity to my mug. Thanks, mikey!

Re: LA Amp Show Oct 4,5 2008
Hey guys, I'm here! Just needed to rest and digest the events of the show. Lots of insanity.
Zakk is nuts in all the right ways. Love him, man.
I'll be in the shop first thing tomorrow morning.

Damn, I thought I was in the clear. But I woke up today feeling sick as a dog. I'm fighting it with vitamins and plenty of hot sauce.
Damn you trade show curse!

Careful, too much hot souace and you'll feel sick as a dog, plus your legs will fall asleep on the stool to boot.
You can 'fess up anyway, we see the bottle in the pics.
