    This was inspired by ordering some shit (guitar strings, picks, cables, the usual fare) from Thomann, and on a lark I went on browsing and came across this beauty:

    So being a sucker for hideous things I just had to order it. I couldn't help myself. No, I've got enough guitars. But... I gave away my decent steel string ages ago when moving (and I haven't got heart to ask it back), so maybe I need one. Maybe I don't. But just look at it.

    What eyesores do you have?

    Well, GG was really not a sound-thing, more like a feces-y thing to be honest with you.

    Ok but this picture just forgets to describe the most important guitar part: the flux capacitor.

    Hey now...people used to say Iggy and I looked a lot alike, so much so that he and his wife noticed me sitting behind and to the right about 8 rows back at a Soundgarden concert at The Beacon Theatre in 1990 (Danzig was the warm-up...fucking awesome great show) and they both turned around and starred at me until I waved and we all laughed.

    So...!!! Hmmm!

    you mean like actual feces during concerts or what?

    i could write something about wild paints of VA or A-synths, but im sure that is nothing special.

    Well, Allin used to take laxatives before shows because... well you can guess why.

    But please, let's talk about ugly music gear rather than... umh, shitty performances.

    Synth itself is a masterpiece, but this paint its just super bad.

    I dont really know any actual ugly sounding synths ...
