My ears are $%&#ed...

Steel Panther were funny for about 10 minutes, but the joke kind of wore thin after that for me. Talented musicians but left me cold.

However ZZ Top were bloody great, I've wanted to see them for an age and I was not disappointed. Some nice planks he has there and what can I say about the backline! 4 stacked Zvex Nanos, if it was me I would have probably tripped over the bloody things.

Anyway pictures





Remember kids, stealing music is a crime and so is Trememlo [sic] theft!

I think someone should explain to the PMT shop staff that Tremelo is a municipality in Belgium an being so makes it quite hard to walk away with in your pocket. Who says educashun is sufferin in vis ####!!ry.

I always thought the Moderne was an ugly guitar but seeing Billy play it makes me think again.

Was I wrong about that guitar or is it just that Billy can make anything look on him?

Love the bass too. Loaded with TV Jones Thundertrons.

I'm not sure if the Moderne is ugly or not.... I think it looks cool, but maybe only because it's from the same "family" as the '58 V and Explorer.

It certainly has a very stupid headstock.

I think it is mega ugly. And yes, the headstock is ridiculous.

I love it, but I'd like it more with the split headstock as on the Explorer he used...

I'm sorry for my stupidity, but does anybody knows why Mr Gibbons is known as Reveren Willie G? I tried to find a answer, but couldn't...

Just got back from the gig! I traveled down from Edinburgh and was definitely not let down!

Me and my mate managed to squeeze our way down the front (right in front of the Rev!). My ears are still ringing but what a cracking show they put on. I liked the fact that it was a pretty small venue too, made the gig that bit more special, probably miles better than the Wembley gig will be. It was a great setlist and some good stage banter too.

Steel Panther were better than what I was expecting, they are very talented musicians but it wasn't really my thing. I might check out their CD though to give them another chance, because as I said, they were very talented musicans.

It was definitely worth the 7+ hour all round journey, had a great night out and some good banter in the pub after the gig too. I had been wanting to see ZZ Top for years and years and I am very glad I can finally say that I have now seen Rev Willie G and Co. :D

It's not ugly...... You leave her alone! :x
The machinehead for the D string is in such a stupid position the string hits the machinehead for both the A and E string before having a terrible break angle on the nut. Who needs straight string pull? Such a weird guitar it's cool

Hope you don't have the same taste of guitars to women :P or perhaps you'd say Bearded-woman is not as weird as I think :lol:

He is a minister/vicar/priest of some kind, so he has the title "Reverend".

William Gibbons gets shortened to Willie G or Billy G

The Reverend Willie G  ;)

He was nicknamed the reverend before he became one though
He's only been ordained recently
