Hey a friend just sent me this video, looks like a silver King V with a stop-tail or something, video is said to be in 1986, Quebec.
Here's the link:
Sorry if it's a re-post?

It's white, but yep there are a decent number of pics of him with that guitar. As I recall, he accidentally broke the head off that one...Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get -
Yes, he used to have one. At one point it had a sticker on it that said Kill Bon Jovi, and duct tape over the logo cuz he felt it was free advertisement for the manufacturer if their logo was visible.
This is also the same band that swore they'd never do a video on MTV, and wouldn't write ballads or other radio-friendly songs.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

We were talking about doing a run of these on Jackson guitar palace in the online shopping section. It goes into all the little details and modifications James made you have to be a member there to see the thread.Comment

Watching him play makes my hands hurt.
That dude in the audience is waving a banner that says "Metallica" on one side and "Sword" on the other. I remember that band, they were from Montréal and they were good.. but they only made 2 albums and then they quit."It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat.

I still have their first album. It's actually very good power metal. I'll have to throw it on the turntable and give it a listen tonight.Originally posted by delt View PostComment

Hey, that rocks =) The first song on that album (follow the wheel(?) of fire) is the best on that album.
Their second album has a more progressive feel, and a few songs that really really kick ass on that one are "the threat" and "caught in the act". They also made a video of "the trouble is" which is how i got to know the band when i was a kid The album is called "sweet dreams" - kinda cheesy, but the title track is a song about insomnia.
I managed to find both albums in mp3 (they're nearly impossible to find in any kind of media anywhere!!) so PM me if your turntable "turns" defective or something
btw, nice KV! The case looks like the same one i have for my rhoads =)"It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. [ ... ]

^ oh, just remembered: their first album is called "metalized".
I bought both in cassette form when i was 11 or 12, but the 1st one didn't have the lyrics in the sheet, and there's some i can't make out, especially in ftw:
Don't take no prisonners, don't spare no life
You know the answer, ??????????
Can you believe when you hear them say
Betray your god, and how you will pay
Free as the wind you are bright as the light
Little/let your????????? got you/guide you tonight??Last edited by delt; 02-27-2007, 05:13 PM."It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. [ ... ]

that white King V is on the cover of Guitar Player April '89, along with Hetfield, Hammett and a black Gibson Flying V.
the "kill bon jovi" appears to be covering most of the Jackson logo, middle potentiometer (2nd volume?) is taken out and the bridge EMG is moved towards the bridge..Comment

Yes, Metalized is it. I don't have the second one, but I remember the video for Sweet Dreams. I also remember the video for Follow the Wheels. That's actually the first time I heard them. I saw the vid on Much Music, so I went out and bought the album. I'll have to check if the lyrics are in there.Originally posted by delt View PostComment
