> There was a GW article in 87' or 88' that featured both of them,that was a custom Ibanez made for the band,and it WAS indeed a Destroyer/Iceman hybrid by design. Paul had several of them too. The one Paul played back then was a copy of the Epiphone Olympic,and Paul said he had them copy it because it has cool upper-heel access. The neck pickup was a metal covered Dimarzio mini-bucker,and Paul would adjust it so he could fret on it,like a 27th fret. That was an awesome piece,and this version of it is way cleaner video and audio wise than the version that I found somewhere else. Bruce had really cool hair too. Anyone have a clue WHY he hasn't played that piece at full speed for all this time?

I remeber when that album "street lethal" first came out in '86...
I listened to that thing for a year straight non stop!
Paul was only 16 or so there...16!!!

Uh.. no... Born in '66 he was more like 19 going on 20...

some kind of injury, tendonitis or something. He's just physically incapable of playing like that for long periods now. I think that same article quoted above mentioned how he'd been in a recent record session & while he could still cut the tracks, it messed him up for quite some time afterwards.
