Replacing Rock Stars’ Guitars With Slugs Puts a Slimy Spin on Solos

August 7, 2014

The concept here is simple, yet brilliant. Guitarists tend to make strange faces when they are busting out sweet licks, but sometimes they look more afraid than they do “in the zone.” Enter Slug Solos, which replaces their guitars with giant slug creatures, rendering their faces a bit more accurate to the situation. Sure, bassists holding fish probably would have made a lot more sense, but why argue the logic with something as entertaining as this?

If you couldn't tell by his photo, dignity flew out the window long ago for Cory. But that just means that nothing is off limits, making him the perfect fit to write for Mandatory. Hobbies include: eating pizza, thinking about going for a jog today, writing memes that no one finds funny, and wondering what life would be like if he'd actually put forth the effort to make something of it 10 years ago. He also owns two other hats (not pictured).
