SOCIETY 1 Announces New Guitarist - July 23, 2008

After trying out guitarists for several months, SOCIETY 1 has announced it has found a new guitarist — Los Angeles native Eric Franklin.

Raised by his parents on Beethoven, Bach and the "Star Wars" soundtrack, Franklin started his musical journey on the piano at age six. Taught by Juilliard graduate Emilia Guastella, Eric studied classical music for six years. By the age of 12, however, hearing the sounds of BLACK SABBATH, VAN HALEN, GUNS N' ROSES and LED ZEPPELIN blast from his sister's stereo, Eric eventually craved to learn music of a louder persuasion and his longing to play the guitar could not be stopped.

Eric's first public show will be on Dave Navarro's Spread Entertainment which will air August 8 on ManiaTV.com.

	This is also the announcement of a guitarist who will get more poontang than a more famous guitarist! I might not be crazy about Society 1 but I'd take that slot in a second! Matt fucking Zane is all I gotta say about that!

	Yeah this dude may end up getting laid a lot, but his guitar shit is weak. A bunch of the typical hammer ons and pulls off and pinch harmonics that sounds like the same lame wankery you hear from every other jackass that plays a dean or esp with a shitty line 6 or crate combo amp cranked obnoxiously loud at your local guitar center. If this band didn't blow satan's balls so bad, I should've tried out for them.
