Dubs Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 [quote name='redzombie' post='722353' date='Jan 23 2010, 05:34 PM']Here's a monstrosity I came across earlier. Not only a horrible looking guitar used by a crap band, but it advertises a poor excuse for beer too! [/quote] That's the most gut-renchingly horrific thing that's been posted on this thread. What a f***ing sellout. Quote

(Yeah, yeah I know we're all sell out to some degree ) Pretty much goes against a lot of the stuff he, Kurt and Krist would declare themselves to be against back in the day. If Kurt were still around, I wonder if he'd have turned into such a hypocritical tosser too. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 For me, whatever the phrase "bad taste" might encapsulate, a guitar's not "naff" until it's got LEDs in the fingerboard. Quote

One minute they dont do interviews cos it's 'rock-star', next minute he's helping host MTV award shows. tsk. /thread derail! Quote

jim_bass Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I like how the small inset one near the top on the right is actually a guitar hero controller [quote name='OldGit' post='724837' date='Jan 26 2010, 08:50 AM']Quite into Steampunk Art after visiting the exibition in Oxford at the weekend.
