Looks like Michael Jackson.

Who wouldn't want to have the King of Pop "sit in" with them?

I have a stuffed piggy that sits on my amp for shows. It helps fatten my tone.

I give you... the Nanerpus!!



It looked like a yellow KKK hood, so our guitarist opted out of wearing it after our first show, but it usually hangs out on his amp.

I sometimes wear a white shirt that I had dripped fake blood down the front of. After I washed it the fake blood came out and left a pink stain, so I took some red textile ink and filled it back in. Now the blood doesnt wash off, and everytime i wear it girls ask me if Im really bleeding.

I also have another white shirt that I painted a gorilla chest on, for my band Ugly Ape. The back says 'We're all so ****ing Ugly'.

And for a gig called StripFest I painted a skin colored shirt to resemble the upper torso of a topless woman. The back off that one says 'We're the Tits!'

I don't know. I've never broke a string before let alone the B string but if you couldn't tell, I tend to get a little crazy on stage. That coupled with the fact that I'd gone about 7 months since my last string chance meant that it was just time I guess.

She's not horrible. Not really someone I'd give a second look to on the street but she comes alive on stage. And she has a great Amy Lee-ish voice.

Usually just a beer can. Strange that I typically end up with more at the end of the night, guess the lone beer can likes company

There's always a beer can or bottle on top of my amp, there's a Shrewsbury town scarf on my cab, and my practice combo has an address plate for our old stadium on the side.

And we found a small palstic model of a woman in a packet of something (noone knows) which had a hole in the base that fits perfectly on the rod of the hi-hat.

Old band. Toy rhinoceros. Very mysterious picture.



The two blurry girls in front aren't in the band, they're bellydancers.

Had a meerkat that used to be by the tip bucket till he got molested (NO! Don't put the meerkat down your shirt! I'm a WOMAN and don't find that attractive! gross boo* sweat.). In the process of sterilizing him he lost a leg that won't reglue. So he got to lay on my amp for a while. He'll get switched out with a plastic toy meerkat, a big dragon, or whatever other toy I feel like grabbing

I *never* put anything on my amp (like soda or water) that might spill. And if anyone else besides me sets anything on my amp it ends up on the floor "accidentaly".
