Chester Bennington

Chester Bennington is a classy dude.

Here's a few shots of us backstage right before showtime.

What a voice!!!

SLIPKNOT

Met up with Slipknot's singer Corey Taylor and guitarist James Root today.

We shared a "round of water" with the kids.

James is cool to chat with and Corey is a nut (see photo)!

Linkin Park

I checked out Linkin Park this weekend.

Super band and a REALLY nice crew.
Here's a few shots of my (spoiled beyond belief) son backstage checking out Mike Shinoda's

main Paul Reed Smith guitar and onstage behind Rob Bourdon's drum set.

Great show!!!!

Somewhere in East Africa

Ed Roman J. Frog Guitar

Here's my latest acquisition: An Ed Roman, J. Frog custom guitar. The color is actually transparent green, but it photographs blue(???). The guitar features an ash body, maple neck with a maple fingerboard, a real Floyd Rose tremolo, and custom Seymour Duncan BlackBack pickups. The guitar is designed for heavy metal music, but I can actually get some twangy country sounds out of it. Snazzy guitar!!!
