The Lamb of God man on noxious gig fumes, Billy Gibbons’ soul and why you don’t need to be a shredder
I got my first real six-string…
“My parents bought me a BC Rich Bich NJ Series for Christmas when I was 12 and that actually stayed with me for the longest time. I remember playing that when we did Burn The Priest shows and early Lamb Of God. I still have it, it’s hanging up in the den in my house. I still have the receipt my dad got from the pawnshop. It was like $200. It needs a bit of TLC, it has 18-year-old strings on it, so it deserves to be taken care of.”
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea…
“ESP just sent me a USA Eclipse model, it’s gorgeous man, it plays and feels so great. I would take that guitar, a Mesa Boogie TC Triple Crown 100W amp and a Mesa 4x12 to a desert island and I think I’d be pretty set. My hair would grow back out and I’d grow a beard.”
Show me the way…
“There are a lot of guys. Like Billy Gibbons, you can just feel his soul playing that guitar.”
The best of you
