” The latest release from Whitey Kirst’s ‘Web Of Spider’ entitled ‘Green Metal Jacket’ is guaranteed to pulverize your senses. Most famous for his guitar work with Iggy Pop, the Canadian born Kirst delivers his unique brand of six string magic on tracks like “Hot Rod Daddy,” “So Good,” “A Touch of Evil,” and “Dig In.” Recorded in Calgary Alberta Canada and Hollywood California, the track “It Ain’t Nothing” is one of the last known recordings featuring Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr. Raw and aggressive rock & roll, Green Metal Jacket is a throwback to the go-for-throat sound of the 70’s without sounding dated.”
