Assless chaps was DLR - Manowar was more of a loincloth and animal hides band

I stand corrected - sort of...

Hmm... the ensemble in the picture looks like they have the collective IQ of a goldfish.

Nothing is new it just gets recycled with a twist




Errrm, not sure John, whether the Kings of True Metal would approve that androgynous look or view themselves as such ...  ??? Uwe

Give Joey de Maio a haircut and put him in a double breasted two piece suit and he'd be the perfect fit for The Sopranos II. They do speak Italian at Manowar, you know:

 

I'm still undecided whether that is very corny, very brave or just a credible version. Probably all three.

This just might be the best sounding "Gibson" Flying V then.  When I bought it, it had been converted to active EMGs.  Really sounds pretty good.

Yep.  Must take it out and give it a spin.  Hasn't been out in awhile.

Bruce, you live! I never saw a pic of this, that fin came with a black pickguard and the white one is a replacement of the pre-owner to accomodate the EMGs, oui?

Yes I do live.  Lurk here from time to time, but don't post much.

Yep, the white guard is a replacement to accommodate the EMGs and the extra knob.  They had to route the bass a little to add room for the fourth knob and the battery.  If I ever get around to it, I'd prefer the mod on a black guard.
