It was so cold there that I wished there was a female so I could rubber.
Yup - that's me and my pal Steve or little stevie vai as I like to call him. In Auckland airport when I was 26. I'm not 26 anymore.

That picture is a bit like learning that the owner of the Ritz lives in a grannyflat.

Kris, what is that Marshall cab behind you? Looks vaguely 4x12'ish, but if it is then that combo must be monstrous next to it. And the controls on the Moser look truly intimidating.

Looks like you all had fun. Anyone go deaf?

Great buch of guys, and a great bunch of gear, thanks all.

I just need to find out where TmcB lives now so I can 're-appropriate' his amp. Pure Tonal Nirvana.

Working in the candy shop, does not mean that one can afford the candy.

Plus, I only got the head two weeks ago ... and the cab was finished to that point ... yesterday.

running a bit late due to hangover and guests, however I got see and hear/feel most stuff so it was awesome.

Great afternoon, great to meet everyone again, and thanks Aaron for providing the superb venue.

Tony's new amp is absolutely awesome, Kris's Moser is beautiful, Aaron has some seriously nice guitars, as did everyone really.

I was a little surprised more people didn't have a hoon on the MetalZone though ;)

Awesome day guys :) Thanks for letting me have a hoon on all your pedals :D Most pedals I have played in one day haha

Also good to see some awesome playing, always inspires me to learn more/try harder to improve my own playing :D
