He has one heck of a telecaster collection, and I dig his version of sugar foot rag.

He can play his ass off and has a sick guitar collection. I am not a fan of his music though.

Dude is a hell of player. Not everything he does is my thing, but I've liked more from him than I have disliked and no doubting this guy is badass. but what's not to like...the guy is a gear lover...


AND can pick like this!

Great player. No doubt about that.

But I don't get the whole makeup thing on him (coming from a fan of old KISS), and given his style of playing, I don't get the dedicated use of the tele. I'm guessing Fender made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Isn't he trying to get a Tele from every year they're made? (Well at least the vintage ones) I think I read that in GW once upon a time.

I think he's one of the more underrated players out there. Maybe because he played with Marilyn Manson or his goth-appeal, I don't know.

I don't like the make-up schtick or his music, BUT I have heard repeatedly that he's a very nice and well-mannered guy. That goes a long way with me.

I love that he's a Tele nut, and he's certainly a talented player, but his music and soloing leave me cold for some reason. Definitely has some impressive licks and tricks, and he was fun to watch when he was the guest guitarist on That Metal Show. Musically, he just hasn't really moved me very much. Seems too calculated.
