  • Christian Olde Wolbers discovered music at an early age after finding his mother's Elvis Presley collection. Not long after, he unearthed the world of punk, hardcore and heavy metal and would go on to play with the likes of Fear Factory, Arkaea, Nailbomb, Powerflo and Evolution Empire.
    Christian recently stopped by the Gibson Showroom in Los Angeles to share stories of his career in music while checking out the brand new Explorer B-2 from Gibsons new "Modern Collection."
    The Explorer B-2 features a satin black finish with black chrome hardware and equipped with Dirty Fingers + pickups deliver aggressive styling, sound and performance.
    Classic Explorer styling and all mahogany construction, with a rosewood fingerboard and fast, slim taper neck. The essential one volume, one tone and 3-way pickup selector switch keep the controls functional and intuitive.

James said in a video with Guitar Center that Black Sabbath was his favorite band, and in the official video for their self-titled song during the interlude before the solo, there is a few seconds of screentime consisting of Tony down picking the riff.

I got a chance to see my all time favorite heavy metal band and it took 30 years to make that happen, it will be an experience that I will never forget!! 🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
