Eaton's homemade one-string bass, named Stitchgiver, built from the gastank of a 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis and a piece of hickory and strung with one piece of Weedwhacker line.
I'm still wearing a shirt Kirk sold me from a show at Rustys in manhattan KS about 10 years ago. It's rugged and dirty and nasty these days, but I still sport it regularly. He'd be proud!
i saw these guys open for the reverend horton heat a few years back. we thought "just another opening band, no big deal" we had got there hours early to get a good table to see the show from. we gave up the table to go stand and bask in the almighty sound of the SLR. what a show. i am from a speed metal backround back in the day and i have NEVER seen guys play as fast and as tight as the SLR. i hope the lead singer gets better soon. they need to come back to omaha right away.
YouTube does not do these guys justice. Do not miss a chance to see them live! R.I.P. Kurt

@fndr100 I knew it looked like it came from a fomoco full size car, guess that explains the t-shirt with the 2 door 70's merc on it
