    Love the guys in Gwar. Always funny and brilliant! I almost forgot how cool rig rundowns were before everybody just said "this is my helix/kemper/axe fx, these are my guitars, bye". Ha. This dude knows his stuff. The only thing he is not satisfied with is loadbox/speakersim, +TwoNotesTV can't you just send him a torpedo live? Gwar endorsers always look good on ads!

    I knew we were going to "geek out" about gear here but I didn't expect the scumdogs of the universe to come back from slaughtering the feeble humans and say something like "A 5 pin midi with phantom power. Yeah...". Most guitarists know their geer but damn. He's really knowledgeable. If he wasn't an intergalactic vice and slaughter overlord, he might have a career as an engineer for a gear company or something. He might look kind of funny wearing a suit and tie though.
