No worries flank, you're right though half the time i feel like i dont know what i want tonewise...i sorta want everything, which can be annoying at times especially with a very limited budget

Anyway, no worries

I also read that the lead guitarist built his own guitar body modeled after an ESP in a wood shop class. He added a real ESP neck, a floyd and a single JB. I dig his tone on that album too.

I saw U.K.J. in a small club B4 anyone knew who they where. Klause was a cool guy
Had a few drinks with him. He was useing a ESP strat,JCM 800 1/2 stack and a Red knob Fender Twin on a masrhall 4x12 cab. Two weeks later the ' I hate you" song
was all over the radio.
BTW, All there equipment was marked Pretty Boy Floyd ? He told me they just inverted
that name. Hence UGLY KID JOE !!

That was a real band during that time. Maybe they bought/borrowed the gear.
