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?

 

Howzabout GG Alin!

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

 

i own a big house, with a lot beautiful instruments in it that helped me pay for it, im very proud of that. this is the ugliest one in here though lol - it was one of my great grandmothers tambourines she use to take and play at church. i thought slapping a dove was funny

 

this is my favorite though, after my first tour i got this baby, its a $8k baby grand piano that sounds so beautiful. its hard to get the full picture without showing myself but yeah everything else is nice like this lol - sorry grandma

 

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

 

Yes, yes, but how about the Retro Encabulator?

(a classic take on a classic)

 

This thing makes the Eraserhead baby look like an Adonis and is even more its own horror movie

 

Walter David „Wattie“ Buchan -Frontman of the Exploited ...great Band

 

and of course Iggy Pop....but i love this guy

 

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!

 

My favourite stories about Iggy comes from Henry Rollins. I mean legends both of them.

 

OMG, that was hilarious.

 

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.
