The Thrones is
Joe Preston, formerly of the
Melvins, though I believe they are still technically together. Known to some as "
logger punk" and to others as "
earth metal", it is as unique an experience as one can expect from a huge guy with a double necked guitar and a beat box. IMHO, his bass playing is better than his guitar playing, sounding a bit like
godheadsilo. Joe, ironically, denies being in "the thrones".
See also Caspar Brotzmann Massacre, for this sorta guitar.
