Rick Brewster Suffers Amp Death During Angels Classic

by Paul Cashmere on December 15, 2011

The Angels’ Rick Brewster suffered every guitarist’s nightmare this week … amp death.

Angels Amp Fail

The Angels were about to perform their classic ‘Marseille’ at the Dee Why RSL in Sydney this week when Rick’s amp carked it rending his iconic guitar solo obsolete.

This meant that the usually immovable Mr Brewster had to move and salvage the gig for the fans.

The whole thing was captured on video and is now on YouTube.

Watch The Angels with Dave Gleeson resurrect the gig.
