A few thousand folks out front going ape sh*t doesn't suck either. Especially when half of them are in bikinis.

Being able to make jokes with the drummer while the guitar player is soloing. |

Endorsing Artist: Brubaker Guitars | | | | | I love it when you are as loud as you want to be, and no one is complaining and your're shaking walls. You can hear it and feel it. The whole thing just goes right through you. The room belongs to you. Your rig sounds great, your bass sounds great, and your chops are on and everybody knows it. Experiences like this are few and far between but they do happen from time to time.
