Kim Warnick and
Deep Purple-esque hard rock. So he occasionally seasoned
Fastbacksâ hooky bombast with
Van Halen-esque widdly-widdlys and wang-bar divebombs. Gear-wise, he didnât have a trademark guitar or amp. He tends to like GibsonsâLes Paul Jrs., SGs, Sg Juniors and various Les Pauls. Amp-wise, heâs used 50-watt Marshalls, Peavey 5150s and Fender Prosonics. âAs long as it can sing the solos, then itâs a good guitar/amp combination,â he told Alternative Press.
