Matt Sullivan Michael Monroe/Vains of Jenna show last night at the Brixton in Redondo Beach....

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. But, *note to the bass player*--your "one liners" in between the songs in the set...stick to your bass from now on, please!!

Omar Blanco JIM DUNLOP BUDDY GUY WAH

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.
