Kilgore, who once played with former Van Halen front man David Lee Roth, says he lost some of his best guitars in the fire, including a 1953 Fender Telecaster and a 1904 Parlor, along with an estimated $120,000 in equipment from his home studio. He said he saved five guitars that he grabbed on his way out the door to evacuate.

He once lived in a comfortable home with a high ceiling and tree-filled yard. Now he sweats inside a recreational vehicle and washes and shaves with cold hose water in an outdoor basin. His main goal, he said, is to re-record all his original music that was lost in the fire.

"That's probably what's left for me to do," Kilgore said.

"I could die after that, for all I care. I've seen enough of this monkey show, I'm telling you."
