So who is playing the Metro amps?

George,
So who should we be looking for that are playing your amps in major venues? So far, I can count Anthrax, Goo Goo Dolls and Alice in Chains. Got any to add to the list?

Blackie Lawless

David from John Mayer's band

a few more I'm not announcing just yet.

Just as important to me: all of the regular, working people like you and me. It's easy for pros with roadies and techs to play these amps. But it takes real dedication for a guy to work 40 hours then drag some classic gear out to the gig.

Here Here George!!! I am playing mine, maybe not at major venues, but I play the living crap out of it. Thanks again for a great product!!!

I understand! I wish I could afford one. Not that there is anything wrong with the price. I am sure they are worth every penny. In fact, I have heard a couple of your amps and I know they are. But, as you have found out recently I am sure, kids are EXPENSIVE. I just thought it might be cool to look for your amps in videos, live footage, live performances, etc. It would be awsome if someone like Slash was sighted using one. If for no other reason than, your orders would probably go thru the roof. Sounds like you are quite busy as it is though.

I'll call him up and weasel it out of him.

Oh wait......getting George on the phone........never mind.

One of these days he'll send a hit man after me for these wisecracks.

Ha ha. Flames you do speak the truth.

I don't know what to do about the phone to be honest. I feel like the guy at the circus who has 20 plates spinning on poles.....

I honestly do pick up the phone many, many times a day. But a lot of those calls are 30-40 minutes long. So I hear your guys beeping in.

I ran into some issues installing a VOIP 800 number. But I'm looking for a solution.

George,you are doing a fine job for all of us,and I know you will never forget the little guy,you certainly demonstrated that with me!
I take the tact that the more 'current' artists using your equipment,the better,as these new guys on the scence will spread the word in pro circles and I hate when people speak of Metro amps as being expensive,if you want the best,play the best,and you are certainly not paying an exorbinant price for the amount of top notch,excellent components,first class assembly work,the 5 year guarantee,the best tech support.
So kudos to George for going that extra bit for all of us!
Many congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!

Metro amp is a first rate company,and never lose your drive and determination to suceed,you have won over the hardest,most critical audience already,so the rest will be cake in comparision!

+10

Mightymike was over at my house, running through amps, attenuators, variacs, the whole shubang. We came to the conclusion that, the '72 SL that George rebuilt for me was "by far the best sounding marshall we ever heard....period" Somehow MightyMike got it sound EXACTLY like VH II, beautiful girls sound, with his attenuator, I still don't get it with that thing, but I do love it straight in loud as hell, or with my booster pedals!

thanks again for the above and beyond excellence. You deserve every penny you earn, and you know that's what I think...

George lynch said he thought is was a killer amp. He has that Randall Module deal going on though.
