In town for the VMAs, 'Too Many Guitars' legend Tornado Explosion Sanchez sat down with our own Toffee Zimmerman over some scotch coladas. Here he continues the story of how his seminal band was formed.

TORNADO
So, there we all were, every night, strumming as one. The cicadas are important to my people, and we thought that the sound of our many guitars was like the song of the cicada. On some nights we felt we could converse with them, that ratchatcha din, that wall of ratchattatatat from the forest, we had an answer, you know? We could, we thought, chat with the forest. The cicadas. I think the cicadas liked the competition, you know? It was like a friendly rivalry between two friends who like to play wrestle, but with sound.

TOFFEE
Then you made quite a splash at a battle of the bands?

TORNADO
War of the Bands. Not just a battle. All-out war. Every year in the nearby town of Picayunaplaya, they would hold a full War of the Bands. You did not play just one set, but many. And you had to do your best to cut off the other bands' supply lines or capture their best musicians. Alliances were made and broken. All guitarists. That was our advantage. Who do you kidnap? Who is our lead guitarist? No one. We are all rhythm guitarists. Take a few of us, who cares. We sound the same. We were not even our full size back then. I think we were just 31 guitarists at the time. When we won that first year, we decided it was time to start recording in the big city.

TOFFEE
Carumba.

TORNADO
Yes, the capital of sin. The city of Carumba was where we recorded our first album: "We Are Stealing Your Silence And Replacing It With...(Please Place Record On Turntable)".

TOFFEE
Tell me about your Foundation.

TORNADO
Ah yes, The Pets Without Lasers Foundation. We raise money for laserless pets.

TOFFEE
Can you put to rest any speculation about you and Beyonce Dos?

TORNADO
Ah, Beyonce Dos. Ah yes fine. I hired Nazi scientists who are in hiding to build me a Spanish speaking Beyonce Knowles clone who is programmed to love me. I called her Beyonce Dos. And now we are apart and she is even more famous than me. It is sad.

TOFFEE
Do you know Spanish?

TORNADO
No, I do not.

ANDRES
I guess I shouldn't write while focusing on my upcoming fantasy football draft. This stuff doesn't make sense. So who would YOU take with pick #6? I dunno, maybe Steven Jackson on St. Louis?

NEXT TIME...A POST THAT MAKES MORE SENSE!
