Wes talks with Total Guitar Magazine about his latest album Crystal Machete, moving to Detroit and guitars.
On the album's sound compared to Limp Bizkit:
"There wasn't a Jackson in sight. I still use the EVH5150s with Bizkit, but this was a very different rig. I used one amp for the whole record - a 1960 Sears Silvertone." [cont]
On his guitar influences:
"Obviously I was influenced by guys like James Hetfield from Metallica, Max Cavalera from Sepultura and Page Hamilton who was in Helmet - they're the building blocks of heavy guitar playing. Then I was really into Primus and Les Claypool, which got me into tapping for a while." [cont]
Moving to detroit:
"Carré actually came up with Detroit while we were looking at places we could move to... because we could go anywhere. And it just seemed exciting." [cont]
