On the Jerry Springer thing that I saw them on, the band were being accused by parents of leading their youngsters astray and teaching them naughty things (you know, the usual gripes parents have when their kids start making their own decisions about what they like and don't like) but Gwar were really cool and answered questions and accusations intelligently and politely (I don't think the "grown ups" were expecting that) and basically said that they don't force anyone to come to their shows or watch their videos so if you don't like it, don't watch it!!!

It is called Sanner Fuzzrite I believe, and the reissue has been designed and built by the guy who originally build the fuzzrites. It's being sold by Frontporch Music which is located in the LA area I believe. I can find the phone number for you, if you want. Joe Emery , who's on the list might be able to help you too. I haven't tried it out yet, but I've heard extremely positive comments from people who are extremely picky bout their gear and tone. It's supposed be exactly like the old D.Allan fuzz. I got my best biker fuzz yet by using a vintage vox tonebender on our upcoming album. A good practical choice in my opinion is the soviet made( Sovtek) replica of the Electro Harmonics Big Muff. Affordable and ugly sounding, like a fuzz should be. In a live setting it'll do the job. Prices on vintage fuzzes are out of hand at least here so a good reissue is the reasonable way to go, there are several posiibilities, a new Fuzzface is cool too. apologies to all the non-playing list members for the gear talk.
