My main guitar is my Warmoth Strat.

Chambered black korina body with a black korina top. Alpine white with natural masked binding. Flame maple neck with a really cool figured macassar ebony fingerboard. 6105 stainless frets. DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, Van Zandt Blues in the middle and neck. This guitar is a screamer and has every sound known to man in it.



Second guitar, but could be considered my other main guitar is my 97 Clapton model. 2nd from the right in this pic. Sorry, I don't have a pic of it on its own.



....and my other babies are there too. The EVH is my monster tone bandit. It may be pink but that mother has balls like you wouldn't believe. The cherryburst one.....I like it but don't usually play it very much. The Kramer is up on auction right now so I guess that tells you how much I love that one.
MULLY

I played a RG550 the other its been heavily modded to look nida swiss cheesey but none the less HOLY FEFF! that guitars awesome! all is tock except the holey body.

Neck would take some getting used to though ...

Hehe, indeed!
My other band was on our 2nd UK tour back in summer 2008, and we had been getting played consistently on "Mike Davie's Punk Radio Cast" on BBC radio 1.
He got word that we were going to be out there, and asked if we would be willing to play live in the Maida Vale studio for his show. Didn't take much to twist our arms! It was a blast! That, and it turned out Johnny Marr was recording down the hall that same day!! Aarrrgh! I wish I could have met him!
I've got tons of pics and video from that day and when we played Rebellion Festival.... I'll never forget it!

Rebellion, Blackpool 2008 eh?? About the only punk gig in the UK thats guaranteed to happen these days. The oldtimers are killing the scene here asking for money they just dont justify. My old band went 200 odd miles a couple of weeks back on a GBH support slot. Only to find the gig cancelled at the last minute due to lack of ticket sales. Apathy in the UK, the audiences are sick with it. The only band guaranteed to pull a crowd these days is Conflict. I saw the Kennedy's a few years back, Jeff penalty worked his arse off just to get the audience going. I thought he was on the verge of walking off at one point.

I played Wasted in 2004, I think, could have been 2003.
Does Daz Russel still do the Wasted California weekend?
My punk days are over now. It's a life of mediocrity and blues covers for me these days. My liver just cant handle the amount of alcohol needed to play punk anymore.

Cmon then give us some links, where can we hear you?

You know, after seeing the crowds at Rebellion, I felt that there was more apathy here in the U.S concerning the punk scene...
Over here, its more of a "phase" that you are expected to grow out of, and at Rebellion I would see the old-timers in their green mohawks. Hell, I even got stopped to sign things for a group of soccer moms in their 40's. I just got the impression that in the UK its more of a life style.

If you play Rebellion this year I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime and give Daz Russell some money to see you play.

The myspace tracks are *(YT&^R^%R)I)*Y*^ great. Havent got onto the other link yet.

The thing is, in the UK it's a once a year event. People wont pay £10 to see the likes of AntiNowhereLeague turn out their usuall tripe, when they can see every band they want to at rebellion for £75. And have all their mates their from all over the country too.

I see what your saying about a lifestyle choice here, yeah old punks never sell out. You really out to see about getting out to Northern Spain, Northern Italy and into the Czech republic, infact all the northern end of europe. Last time I was out there (3 years ago) the punk scene was absolutely vibrant. Really really good. See if you can get a contact for AntiFest in Czech too. Thats a really really good fest to get on.

I've always wanted to visit there myself.
