Need a wordpress pro

Ok, I have changed wp themes before, but this one has me baffled.

When you go to http://www.kickassguitars.com the layout is fine, but when you click on comments the page is jacked up. I don't understand why it's not showing the background in the middle and the sidebar is missing?

Can someone please explain what's going on with this?

Thank you.

Looks like a fairly simple adaption of the default Wordpress template, "Kubrick". Single Posts & Comments do not display in the sidebar because that was how the theme is setup.

To display a sidebar you can add;

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

to the end of the single.php file in your theme folder, but before the;

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Not sure about the background, maybe try changing the Header.php back to the original code;

<div id="headerimg">
        <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
        <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
    </div>

at the moment it's just;

<div id="headerimg">
    <h1><a href="http://kickassguitars.com/"></a></h1>
    <div class="description"></div>
</div>

worth a try,

try an absolute path to your background image

Yeah I dont like the way the default theme does that with single posts. It's a pain i nthe ass to get it working the same throughout... i should really think about doing it once and reusing it ugh

Looking into it now, thank you for the assistance.

Well, that helped, along with another edit. Now I just can't get the background in the middle correct. I am still looking. This is what happens when you try to edit someone elses template instead of making my own.

The pain in the ass now translates to tons of time saved in the future when you want to modify another template and already know how to do it. It's worth learning if you're serious about this stuff.
