Jackson Demmelition King V Electric Guitar
November 19, 2008 by Chazders · Leave a Comment
Phil Demmel of Machine Head recently teamed with Jackson Guitars and integrated an element of masochism to conceive a dangerous new breed. Demmel’s legendary riffs smash us over the head like an annihilated sledgehammer, slaying our eardrums for a diabolic revelation, knocking out our teeth from an infuriated mosh pit…allowing us to stumble home with a grin plastered on our toothless bloodied face. Would it be sweet if you could abuse your audience like that? Guess what, you can. Read more

To this day, on one level or another, every rock group defines itself in relation to the Beatles. Read more
