Resident T Bird playing Drag Queen www.thenastyhabits.com  "Impülsivê", the new lush fragrance as worn by the unbelievable Fräulein Rômmélle! Traces of black patent leather, Panzer grease, mahogany and model train oil mingle and combust to one sheer sensation ...

Absolutely. Nice balance, drives the music, sounds excellent.  Good technique, too.

There are a couple redeeming qualities to the video, the Thunderbird being one.  Has GMP had their Gibson clones shut down yet?

That lead singer sounds just like Robert Mason.

One day, someone will adequately theorize why and how a depressive kid from Seattle had (all too many) LA glam hard rock bands turn into (new) country rock bands eventually. When did Garth Brooks topple Eddie van Halen and David Lee Roth from the role model pedestal?  :mrgreen:

He looks a lot like Robert Mason too  ;D

Rock has gone nu country, nu country is turning to hip-hop, pop is turning new wave, I cant keep up.  I'm just going to stick to listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd records and complaining about kids cutting across my lawn.

Haha. I just googled it. And it turns out he is their new lead singer. Goes to show I haven't been keeping track of neither Warrant nor mr Mason  :mrgreen:

And I was wondering why he sounded nothing like their old singer.  :-[ I thought the vid was prior to his premature departure.

Mike D'Antonio rocked a bird for this vid.

I like this explorer bass he uses here too. Not sure what brand it is.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Not a bad take on the Explorer shape.

That's the Destroyer II shape of Def Leppard fame.
