It made us feel like we were more of a heavy metal band. It was announced that the band was breaking up after the last concert of the tour. However, Electric Wizard did a UK tour with Cathedral soon after, with Justin Greaves (of Iron Monkey) on drums. In April 2003, Greening and Bagshaw left the band.
Why did Tim Bagshaw leave Electric Wizard?
However friction between Oborn and Greening led to the latter leaving in 2002. Oborn and Bagshaw would continue on with Justin Greaves (Iron Monkey) for a November European tour with Cathedral but after that tour he would leave the band, citing conflicts in musical ideas and a disinterest in playing bass.

What guitar does Electric Wizard use?
It’s based on the Marshall JCM 800, which is what I usually play at fly out gigs. I don’t use any pedals, so I am very particular about what amp I use. My guitar is the same guitar I have always played, which is a 1967 Gibson SG with humbuckers.

Is Electric Wizard heavy?
From Black Sabbath to Big Black, a ride through the evolution, diversity, and influence of genre-defying heavy music. In doing so, Electric Wizards weaves an entirely new tapestry of heavy music.
What AMP does Electric Wizard use?
It’s an early Laney AOR Pro-Tube 100-watt Lead amp, and I put it through whichever cabs are working! But that’s usually a Laney 4×12 and a Marshall 4×12. [The Laney is] the best amp I have ever owned: incredibly loud and very reliable on the road.
