Talk:Lars Frederiksen

Date of birth conflict

There is a conflict in the reported date of birth between this article and what is reported on IMDb. An AOL user, User:152.163.100.5, originally stated that his birthdate was August 30, 1971, but several red flags were raised after reviewing that user's edit history and warnings on their talk page. Unless another credible source can be provided which states otherwise, I am using May 23, 1969 as his date of birth and have immediately cited a link to IMDb profile right after.

Unsourced trivia

This is all unsourced trivia removed from the article

Guitars and amplification

• Frederiksen has an Alpine White Epiphone Les Paul Custom that a group of friends purchased for him for his 22nd birthday. It has been embellished with several stickers, including a Danish flag, The US Bombs, and The Nerve Agents band logos. He's also played other Epiphone Les Pauls, one Goldtop (can be seen several times during the '90s), one Black (seen in the Ruby Soho music video) and one Sunburst (which might be the broken guitar on the cover of the Roots Radicals single and is also seen in the Nihilism music video).
• The Alpine White Les Paul Custom is his only recording guitar, as stated in the Rancid Webisodes on YouTube (although it seems that it's not exactly the same as the one he received at his 22nd birthday).
• When he first joined Rancid, and also before he joined Rancid, he used at least two Les Paul Jr. guitars: One red (with the U.K. Subs and other early bands) and one black (with Rancid, in 1993).
• Other guitars: sunburst Fender Telecaster, Ampeg Dan Armstrong plexiglas guitar ("Who Would've Thought" music video), Epiphone Les Paul with leopard-skin finish ("Skins, Punx And Drunx" music video), black Gretsch Chet Atkins hollow body ("Skins, Punx And Drunx" music video), sunburst Hagström ("Salvation" music video. It's NOT one of Tim Armstrong's Hagströms, since it has a neck pickup that is never seen in any of Tim's guitars, plus none of Tim's Hagströms is right-handed, which would eventually be strung as a lefty), Gretsch White Penguin (NAMM show 2010) and several acoustic guitars.
• Frederiksen uses these other guitars live, mostly SGs because he says they're "lighter" (maybe just half as heavy as the Les Paul)
• He has two 1964 Gibson SG Specials in Heritage Cherry. One has a U.S. Roughnecks sticker behind the bridge section and "Bastards" stenciled over the bridge section in white; the other is plain.
• Frederiksen has also got a 1965 Gibson SG Special in Polaris White, which is adorned with a Charlie Manson sticker, directly under a large CMLL sticker.
• He has a red Gibson SG Classic in heritage cherry
• Frederiksen has a white Epiphone G-400 with a Millwall F.C. Logo
• He has a blue Epiphone G-400 with a Millwall F.C. Logo also (as seen in "Last One To Die" video)
• Frederiksen has a black Epiphone G-400.
• He plays these guitars through a Marshall JCM 900 100 watt amplifier head, and a Marshall 1960A 4x12 Celestion-speaker-packed cabinet.
• Frederiksen's Marshall head and cabinet amps have the M cut partially and the HALL removed so that they spell LARS.
• He uses no effects pedals or processors of any kind but only the amp's two stock channels, clean and crunch.
