Greg Sage, plus 1 from BEAUREGARDE(the wrestler)



Greg Sage is the founder,Guitarist and primarily member of the influential Portland Oregon band The Wipers.


The Wipers were formed in 1977 and released 10 albums. They were a major influence on Pacific Northwest(USA) bands such as Nirvanna, The Melvins and Alice In Chains.




Know By Now is taken from the solo Greg Sage album, Sacrifice(for love)(1991)




Interesting story on this one.

BEAUREGARDE was a semi famous Pacific Northwest wrestler/musician that wrestled from 1963 to the early 1970's. A teenage Greg Sage was a wrestling fan and fan of BEAUREGARDE'S wrestling and stage antics in particular. Well one day while Greg was playing guitar in a recording studio BEAUREGARDE happened to walk in and was impressed by his guitar playing. BEAUREGARDE was in the process of recording a album and asked the 17 year old Greg to play guitar on it.


Greg said yes and the rest is history...

I know it kinda sounds like a train wreck but the songs not that bad. Actually its pretty good.
