Mike Vest - a guitarist who burned all his guitars

Uncompromising. Independent. Prolific. Bloody-minded. Off the radar of the influential booking agents. Unable to play any sort of game. Totally honest - the Quietus writes about Mike Vest, British guitarist who burned a bunch of his old guitars in an act the musician himself describes as "better than just putting them in a skip". Vest has accumulated plenty of irreparable guitars over the years from playing in bands including Bong, 11Paranoias, Drunk In Hell, Blown Out, Haikai No Ku, Melting Hand, Dodge Meteor, mostly drone-metal bands. His latest project is album 'Asterismal' with his band 11Paranoias, a "morbidly psychedelic doom metal"; listen to it here.
