No like this! Holy Crap... learn how to use your computer. :P

Approx. 1991. I know it's not 'too' old. I'm 4th from left, standing in back. Someone noted that I looked like the uni-bomber w/ geeky glasses.

Wow! I can see the "Teeth Marks" on Louis Brumbaugh's guitar! Look at the top cutaway.

I thinks his amp in my old 1964 Fender "Vibrolux". I sold it to him in 1975.

Matt Frederick...

I think that's the guy who Jeff Wallack said was the best guitarist nobody ever heard. Absolute musical genius who couldn't face an audience. I'm pretty sure that's the guy's name. He said he went to his house and the dude just smoked, but he wouldn't even face Jeff. What a shame, if Wallack dug him that much, the world missed something special.--->JMS

Louie had a hybrid Fender. I can't remember if it was a Tele body with a Srtat neck or vice versa. :roll:

As I recall, it was a Strat body & Tele neck....we called it the "Castrator"

At least that was the one that he used to bite on the body contour....

Matt Frederick is my ex's (zappas) cousin. Yea, he is REALLY good. Not sure if he is still playing, I'll have to ask Frank. As far as I know the guy has never played out. Matt would be too shy for that. He would be the guitarist playing with his back to his audience.

Regarding the seemingly mysterious Matt Frederick - I do believe that he played guitar for Altoona's Lizzie Borden for a short while in 1981. Not 100% sure of that though. Jeff Wallach (guitar) and JB Batrus (drums) were the other members as far as I know. Can't remember who the bass or vocals were in that band.

Jeff was still refining his skillz at the time of Lizzie Borden and it wasn't until I saw him play with Scarfone/Watters in a later band that I realized what a monstrous guitarist he was.

Matt Fredrick

Post by Mysterytrain »

So in my opinion... the ultimate tribute Metal band.

Matt Fredrick on Guitar
Jeff Wallack on Guitar
John Scarfone on Bass
Bobby Watters on Drums

And then who would sing... didn't Steve Oswald used to play with Matt in the basement at that place under/beside Baskin and Robbins.

Ask Frank Ciccarella he and Matt are cousins.

Sorry about the spelling on some of the names.
Keep on keepin' on,

Another addition to the "The Edge/Wanted/Five Nations" family- Scott Robleski (center)joins the band. Local artist Dark Soul provides an original water color piece as background. This poster measures 2' x 3'!

Five Nations was a great band, and Robleski was incredible on vocals. Best covers of Styx & Queensryche I have ever heard were at Five Nations gigs.

Hey Beau... his name was Reggie Boyd. What a dynamic guitarist.
I still have a Charvel mahogany strat-style body that he gave me for fixing his Boss DD2 delay pedal. It's part of my frankenstein guitar. Wallack used to call it "the boat anchor" because it's so friggin' heavy.
... and then the wheel fell off.

Great memory there, Ron!
That was such a blast when he sat in. Do you remember Warrant's drummer sitting in? :lol:

Yeah, I remember that night. Steve and his brother were there. I think his brother's name was Dave. :?:
