rizzled guitarists bring the mystery of roll to the majesty of rock, to mangle a quote from Spinal Tap and risk the statement of the obvious.

Scott Gorham’s been bringing six-string chops to the sweat-drenched stages of rock’s most raucous cathedrals for long enough to know that the longer you’re in the game, the better you get.

Live fast, die old, and leave a gallon of sweat on those hallowed black boards.
