Have see that first pic before. You wouldn't want to get in the way of a flying Orange cab, that's for sure!

Brutus, a band from Norway, just had all their gear ruined in a fire at their practice space. Well, ALMOST all of their gear.

Do you know if that cab and Gibson still play? Would be sweet to see a video of it being used together if so. Guitar looks almost untouched. And as much as the cab still looks alright-ish, if it was in some actual fire the components have to have been fried/melted, no?

If the crest and badge aren't melted then it's very likely the internal components will be fine. It must have taken more heat from the back than the front.

That is a really good point! Didn't even register that those are just little pieces of plastic! Yeah, probably would be okay then maybe!

Orange basketweave vynide is made from a proprietary blend of lead, asbestos, narcotics, and recycled grocery bags.

Makes perfect sense. Always assumed the speaker grilles were plain ol' jute, but probably there is a good percentage of hemp in there too...
