    His guitars from the 80ies and the very early 90ies(B.C. Rich, ESP) are truly beautiful compared to what he has been pushing for the last 20 years... pretty sad.
    Nonetheless more power to him as he once was (from 1987 - 1991) the most exciting guitarist of all time for me.

    I got the Kahler and a Floyd and they both have pros and cons but the Kahler is the better and easier to use and stays in tune better.

    Mr. King needs to do his research. Metallica last played Damage Inc. In 2022.
    Saw them in 2015 playing it.

    I met you guys in a dressing room (as Slayer) in Chicago Metro in 1985. I and my good friend Steve Wilson were teenage loaders. We had been ordered to organize and freshly paint the dressing room prior to your arrival. When you guys got there very early, it smelled strongly of fresh paint fumes.
    We all shared a few dumb jokes about the odor. I then asked if you guys really worshipped Satan. There was a silence. Tommy Araya calmly hesitated and then replayed "No, but we do believe in the Triumph of Nature"
    Not sure if you will recall this.

      Absolutely dude. I spec'd out a ⅞ s-style warmoth build(24 frets/24¾" scale) and I could tell you every last detail about it. I could do that with all my guitars really... but if I had dean/bc rich making signature guitars for me I'd be able to answer any questions about them.

      The first KKV with the 6 inline headstock he did when he went back to BC Rich was nice. It didn't last long though before it was replaced with the tribal one which was horrible looking.
