Matt Pike, to me, is one of the most intimidating presences in metal. A freshly sober Matt Pike seems like even worse news, since he's probably far more grumpy. I'm just assuming, here. He's definitely grumpy now that he's found out that his precious tobacco sunburst Les Paul guitar has been stolen from a Santa Rosa studio. What an asshole! Here is a released statement about the incident with info on how you can help if you happen to come across it:
“Matt Pike’s Les Paul guitar [pictured above, with roadcase] has gone missing from a Santa Rosa studio. The color is Tobacco Sunburst and has Matt Pike signature pickups and the case has PIKE written on it in large white letters. The serial number is 92462499. Please be on the lookout for this guitar. If you happen to be in a pawn shop in the bay area or see something. This guitar means everything to Matt. If you have any information on the guitar, please contact [email protected].”
If we hear anything else, we shall surely report on it. [via MetalSucks]
