The RARE's "Concert Guru" with my review of last night's Michael Monroe (Hanoi Rocks) w/ supporting band, Veins of Jenna...The show started of w/ J.J. & The Real Jerks...And, in my opinion they did a solid job of "warming" up the crowd for roughly 30 minutes or so.

Vains of Jenna came out next with a blistering set of "Sleaze" Rock, that I'm sure had Michael a…

THE BUDDY SYSTEM
Even at a glance, anyone familiar with Buddy would
know this is his wah. It’s kitted out in the same white polka dot on
black background as his signature Fender Stratocaster, and his
signature is present in moulded form on the treadle. The finish of the
pedal itself is very slick, thick and glossy, and looks like it would
withstand a huge number of knocks and bumps before starting to show the
even the faintest hint of wear.
