The Fucking Champs are THE FUCKING CHAMPS!

Alright metal fools...if you haven't heard of the metal instrumental trio "The Fucking Champs" from San Francisco I HIGHLY recommend it's high fucking time you did. I've never heard 2 guitar players and a drummer make such incredibly intricate, bone crushing, tasteful, tone full, part cheese (in a good way), METAL in my life? Take the best riffs from Metallica, Maiden, Dio, Kings X, and meld them together (take out any singing for the most part) and you have The Champs...well you can't call them The Champs..they've already been sued for that so they called themselves The Fucking Champs...which is much more fitting... recording only to analog tape/equipment and using old analog synths, 6, and 9 string guitars (9 strings?) the trio blasts out shit that'll have you rockin' like Beavis and Butthead in no time. Check 'em out. Recommended starting album: "VI". The Fucking Champs are:

Tim Soele
Drums, Guitar, Synthesizer

Phil Manley
6 and 9 string guitars, Acoustiic Guitar, Piano, Bass, Guitar Synth, Synthesizer

Tim Green
Guitar, Baritone Guitar, Vocals (extremely limited)
