“Lach’s great!” - Bob Dylan

“He’s f**king funny!” - Nikki Sixx (Motley Crüe)

“Lach? He came, he saw, he conquered!”- Bruce Foxton

“Lach is a fellow revolutionary, fellow spirit, and an inspiration to me!” - Ian Prowse

"The best punk rhythm guitarist since Johnny Ramone." - Billy Ficca (of Television)

“The best songwriter that I’ve ever met.” - Adam Green (of The Moldy Peaches)
