whatta pissa. I've always liked this band (during the Barlow years, anyway).

those guitars should be pretty hard to miss in pawn shops/crack dens

These are the Barlow years! (Well, V2.0 of them)

those are some big money guitars right there

always insure your gear.

I always fear this crap happening with a trailer. Doesn't some device exist where Medusa's head will emerge and turn the thieves into stone? or douche?

Just saw a manhattan transfer t-shirt on e-bay for $15.000.00

They have some pretty stupid guitars.

I hope whoever stole them doesn't actually try making music with them.

Next case.

This band is still together?

T-rex.

You should hear what he does with them. It's like Sonic Youth -- both band use the Fender sound to their advantage.

Best guitar rock band in the game, even after all these years. This sucks

I thought that video where they were golfing was a little dumb.

watching Paul Schaeffer play along with them on Letterman (and rocking out as if he was about jizz all over J Mascis) was surreal to say the least.

don't let me fuck up will you.

i feel the pain of everyoooone

then i feel nothing

Look at all those jazzmasters. That's a lot of jazz for one man to handle.
