What guitar picks do you use? I've been playing guitar for 12 years and I don't know why but the pick has always been my biggest struggle. Something works for a while and then on to something else. So just curious what works for you!

Totally hear you man - I've been an advocate for the Dava Rock Control Delrin picks haha I use them religiously... for at least 10 years believe it or not haha hope that helps dude! https://www.davapick.com/buy/picks/rock_control_delrin

hey man! i've seen abrb two times in Mexico City! when are u coming again? and what about Ground Zero? when it'll be released?

hopefully we come back soon! ground zero is out though ;) so is my brand new debut instrumental album "Centersun" - You can check it out at www.dansugarman.bandcamp.com // itunes // spotify // apple music // and all the good sources ;)

Are you following the whole Gaza situation? I'm just curious, where do you stand in all this?

I'm aware of some of the major turmoil in that part of the world, but am not up to date, and tend to try to keep my head out of politics if I want to stay productive... otherwise that shit just gets way too depressing haha

Reckon you guys'll come to Australia any time soon? Also, run me through all of the guitars that you own, if at all possible.

I definitely hope to be playing in Australia as soon as I possibly can man! And man, way too many guitars to run through haha I've spent a lot of years collecting them... Here's a list I took off of my website haha way too hard to recall all of this. I really need to invest in a massive wall hanger setup so I can have these around at all times... though, to be honest, I've only been using the Kiesels for the past year or so. Truly some of the best shit I've ever played.

What were your best and your worst moments being in ABRB so far? What is your most memorable show you played and why?

haha awesome question dude. Definitely one I've not thought about... so lets see what comes to mind first here. As for my best moment ever being ABRB, I would probably say its the time we went to Indonesia to play two of the most amazing shows we've ever played... that, or the first tour we had in South East Asia going through Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Hawaii. China may have even been at the start of this tour, I honestly don't remember after all the ridiculous amounts of flying and monotonous airport situations we've been in. Terrible, I know.
My worst moment ever would be finding out that my mom was sick again when we were in Hawaii on the last night of that very same tour. Not being able to do shit about it from across the Pacific Ocean was the worst feeling ever. I lost it that night for sure. What a way to cap one of the best tours we've ever done. The mental switch that has to happen going from a tour like that into a situation at home as dire as it was is something that no amount of mental preparation could help.
The double edge sword that is touring, am I right?

Hi Dan, with pickups do you use in your green guitar? Emotikon grin im asking because i have H-S-S too, and im wondering with single picks sholud i buy, and yours seems to be pretty good Emotikon grin

If you're talking about my old Jackson Soloist, I originally had a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker in there, and I'm pretty sure it had the classic stacks. The middle pickup always bugged me and got in the way of my tremelo picking, so I took out the electronics, and left the pickup cover on and sunk it way down so it was out of my way. I had a BKP in there at one point, and now have an EMG 81 in her I believe. If that's not the right guitar that you're asking me about at all, and you're asking me about the CT6 Carvin I used in the All or Nothing Playthrough video I did, those sweet babies were the new Kiesel Lithium series pickups. Awesomely hot and sweet pickups.
