That was snapped by dirt,

& I'm thinking the venue was the Casbah in SD, but I'm not certain.

I was disappointed when I read the news that the black Gibson was being replaced

What year was that?  I'm guessing around asa time period due to the drastic change of the guitar distortion (which I was turned off by at first).
Anyone know?

not like Buzz WANTED to Put the LP into Retirement, Thank the wonderful Airline folks for busting the neck on it a million times! 

He said EVERYTHING including the frets had been re-tread. 

the amount of sweat that thing absorbed, it was probly Starting to rot the finish right off the wood.

Cannibal corpse calls it *the funk*

and They get between 5-7 years out of their guitars before the sweat corrodes and rusts any metallic ornaments on their Guitars...so that being said; When I saw the melvins for the first time, Buzz was sweating so bad all over it, Even the LP was Dripping sweat!  ROCK and ROLL motherfucker!

he got a lot of miles out of it, Buzz figures he played 1000 shows with it more or less, if you watch the Gear intweview...(my personal Favourite clip of Buzz, so much so I made my parents watch it!!!)

I think that its safe to say that Buzz pushed his LP to the extreme Limit! and beyond.

if you arent sure of the Ruggedness of that Guitar, Im sure Buzz is the benchmark of going the distance with one.

After NWB... He was still playing the LP on that tour.. The Next year on the Down tour he had the EGC..

   I am a huge fan of his current Guitar tone.. I think it cuts through the sound like nothing I have ever heard before

Just realized this is Dale around the time '6 songs' were recorded.  Did Dale ever start out mediocre or did he just bust out with the at a crawl intro the first time he ever picked up sticks???  And it was no big deal to him.

respect.

I heard when he was in the Aberdeen High Marching Band he stunk up the homecoming parade.

ok, thats not really true.   he BLEW MINDS with his shoulder strap snare.
