I love my guns and music just about equally, and it's a play on a Ted Nugent tshirt I once saw... nothing political about it for me... also, bass is a Jazz, not a precision (although I do own one of those as well).

The Living Room (used to be Porter's) in Crystal Lake. I switched from bass to guitar for a new band (with the original singer (Deb) from Complete Chaos, and my guitarist (Rick) from Chaos as well..) the drummer is Mike from OCD and Johnny on bass.

Here's some from a gig I played on friday night... hope it still counts that a travelled over to the darkside and played guitar that night ;) Our "MVP" award winner... we give out an award at each gig for the Most Valuable Partier... (I own a wood cnc router, so this is just a quick cnc cut...

we always have a good time... and there's usually attractive girls in the audience... it's getting our girlfriends to take pictures of them that's the challenge :)
