Chris Babbit of Taking Dawn picks his favourites
Taking Dawn's frontman Chris Babbit is fast building a reputation for having something, err, interesting to say about most things. Here the guitarist picks his Top 5 classic riffs. And talks about phalluses.
In other Taking Dawn news, having toured the crap out of Europe and North America with the likes of KISS, Airbourne and Slash, the Las Vegas band have also unveiled the video for their cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' in recent months.
You can check that out below and, if you have the time, we also recommend checking out Chris Babbit 'The Rabbit' blogging about the Slash tour over on the Taking Dawn website.
