Gristle tone man! I have enjoyed his reviews for Wildwood for many years, and he's from Milwaukee which is just a few hours from where I live. He plays a lot of small venues around the city, another show I need to see some day. He's a heck of a player and very entertaining overall.

I like his Wildwood demos. His music isn't exactly my vibe but I recognize he's talented.

He's a smart, talented and entertaining dude. He's a bit much at times (well, most of the time), but that's who he is. Thanks for the vid. It was a good watch.

If he wasn't such a killer player he would definitely wear on you quickly. I've spoken with some of the wildwood sales guys that work with him on the demos and they say he's a hoot to hang out with and a very cool guy in person. Have you ever been to the Wildwood shop? Not sure how far it is from you but they have some drool inducing special runs from Fender and Gibson, and even special run amps from Friedman - so they must sell a ton of gear.
This is one of my favorite vids of his over the years where he shows off his quirks, his playing and some amazing tones.

The guy is a riot and a virtuoso! Kind of reminds me of Danny Gatton, where he is highly entertaining, but seems to be avoiding fame.

I think I remember an interview where he said he tours so much because if he was at home all the time his wife would divorce him...so even he knows he's over the top
