Someone Actually Plays a "The Paul" On Stage

I had not seen anyone play a "The Paul" on stage until I recently saw Matt Whyte of Earl Greyhound.

I knew this thread was gonna be about Matt.

Cool band!

Dougie Needles of the Blackhearts was rockin' his "The Paul" (or is it a Firebrand?) last October at the 9:30 Club

...and just for good Melody Maker action:

This is, IMO, the quintessential image of "punk". Great pic.

Their song S.O.S. kicks major bootay.

Thanks, man!
I was happy they let me take pics. :dude:
In that situation photog skills (which I like to think I do have) don't help nearly as much as being 5 feet from the stage and taller than everyone around.

That show really kicked my ass! It made me get up and start playing seriously, taking lessons from local guys who have different styles than me, etc. so that I can be a better player. He may not be well known, but between him and Joan Jett, they put on an amazing show!

Hell, I gigged mine while I owned it. It's obviously not your traditional Les Paul sound, but at least it's got familiar ergonomics.
