Does that amp come with a few doses of Laudenum?

Oh I meant the band it's for.

I think that amp itself is completely daft, but quite charming.

I could imaging Yngwie playing it - you know, big banquetting table, candelabra, mood lighting...

Mind you, I'd have to change all my furniture to match. And probably move house too.

The punk doesn't refer to the musical genre, it refers to the literary genre.

It wasn't until you said that that I had any idea what this "steampunk" concept was all about! So there's a name for that "high-tech but 19th-century looking" thing, now I get it... :)
