I'm MAD AS HELL. A few days ago, some creeps broke into the music storage locker belonging to my beloved Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and stole vintage guitars belonging to Michael Been, father of Robert Been of BRMC and former vocalist/guitarist of The Call.
BRMC will be setting out in less than a month on a worldwide tour to support their new album, "Beat The Devil's Tattoo," and this is a lousy-ass thing to have to cope with now. I am doing my small part to pass the info on, and maybe someone will be able to help. Here are some pictures of the actual items stolen, or the closest photo approximations available.
