Is it called a "pinched harmonic" that he does every 30 seconds of every song he has ever played.......God, that's fucking annoying.

Every 30 seconds??? More like every 3.2 seconds!

The guy has zero depth or feeling in his playing.No class, imo..

[kwame k]

Even though I liked the Ozzy stuff, that fucking lick he does in every song just ruins it. I liked some of the BLS stuff but it's that fucking guitar style that ruins every song he plays on.

Way over-rated IMO.

Why does this cheesy looking thing remind me of Brach's Candy Corn, fright wigs, vampire make up and trick or treating? Only someone with a serious case of arrested development or a woefully morbid teenager would think this thing looks cool. I mean, come on...it's a coffin for cryin' out loud.

That and the fact that he thinks BLS is a bike gang! Ahahahaa...

dumb.

unless it signifies that his career is dead...

I'm not sure if ugly is the right word for it. Tacky sounds more proper because I haven't a clue as to who would seriously buy that piece of shit - maybe 14/15 year old goths who still believe that listening to Marilyn Manson is somehow rebelling against your parents or perhaps meth metal heads attempting to make a fashion statement but chrissakes, that instrument is tacky.

And it looks like it came from Misfits circa 1986, too.

In Rock Star, they called 'em "pings".

Now that you mention it.......it does look like a Mistfits rip off. I guess there has to be a market out there for it or they would of never spent the "pennies" required to R/D and market that pile of shit or...........let's throw it out there and see if it sticks, either way it's a truly low point in a mediocre career.

That guitar is seriously ugly. I dig Coffin Cases, mind you - but a coffin-shaped guitar? Probably as uncomfortable to play as it is stupid-looking.

Now that you mention it, one dufus in particular comes to mind as being the first in line at Guitar Center when this thing goes on sale...

Nah, he's currently busy defending the Obama rally gun-nuts at Rothfans...otherwise, yeah, it'd be right up his alley.

The thing that gets me, is how uninspired this dorky thing is. You wanna make a statement? Here's how: Fashion the guitar body, include a clear, plexiglass lid for the coffin. In the inlay, define an actual padded coffin, with a 12 inch GI Joe figurine with the head of say...Elvis Presley, JFK, Mae Tse Tung, Michael Jackson, ect. in full costume.

Is it artful? Hardly. Yet no less than this stupid Halloween guitar. Seriously, this thing should be given away at grocery stores in the build-up to October 31, yours for 17 dollars, a purchase of 2 bags of Hershey's Treats and a contribution to "Trick Or Treat For UNICEF".
