Re: Who makes you want to get a V?
For sure Michael Amott. Not the new Dean, but the ESP Ninja. Kalmah's Antti Kokko is pretty sick on his custom Amfisound. Love those guitars. But starting the whole thing? I pretty much just remember seeing a Rhoads in a Musician's Friend catalog and thinking it was the coolest looking thing in the world, much better than my Dad rock strat. And then Laiho came fluttering in a few years later covered in glitter and wearing assless pants and everyone got one.......... Not that some of their songs aren't good, it just pissed me off is all.
