How many Metro concerts have YOU seen this summer?!?!?
I saw John Mayer (featuring David Ryan Harris) in June at Red Rocks and I'm getting tiks to see Velvet Revolver with Alice in Chains (featuring William DuVall) - both gigs featuring Metro plexis. I can't wait to get mine...
Update: I didn't see ANY Metro amps, or Marshalls of any kind, last night at the Diana Krall/Chris Botti show...

I'm one of the guys who just spent a fortune buying a brand new house and who has spent another fortune to do the landscaping and who has blown out the savings account for new furniture and whose 2YO daughter starts "playschool" next week at $1200 per month ... yeah, I'm "waiting" to see what the Visa bill looks like this month; then, maybe I can pull the trigger and get my '68 spec kit. Grrr...I'm not bitter!

Im a serious guy. I met him there. He had a purple-ish one. He said something about diggin it but he just signed that Lynchbox thang. I think someone like George should link up with a builder and make one entirely seperate from a major brand. If I were of his caliber I wouldnt do any major brand deals. I'd go see what all the newbies are building down at the Amp Show October 6 Van NUys CA ....

cant wait. Ill definately be the new guy there. Im gonna be the puppy in the midst of all the pit bulls. Oh well it will be fun regardless.
