Rossi is an enigma. You can see bits of the old Rossi in there coming out He's an interesting personality for sure. I think he himself has admitted that he often contradicts himself, which is simply a feature of his character. The thing about live volume was very interesting. I wonder if he could even stand the volume of his own band if he was in the audience. Rhino and Rick seem to fall on the other side - play as loud as possible. |

I've no idea why Lloyd's whimpering about "bananas"....I've got four Teles - three of them are strung with 14-56 gauge strings and the fourth has got a .56 on the A and a .70 on the E. I've never had any neck problems with them at all. The .70 E string is thicker than the G string on the bass player's guitar. Teles are probably the only guitars that can take that. God bless the plank.  |

God bless the plank. Gibson and Epiphone SGs and Les Pauls can take it too. My SGs take 60s on the low E's no problem. Only guitar I know that can't handle it is the Stratocaster but, a few adjustments to the springs on the bridge and they can Conclusion....Lloyd is towing the line |

I twisted the neck of a SG when trying the intro to Caroline on "THE" guitar that Rick had... Both SG and the Epiphone equivalent twisted and twirled... Without going for the string dimensions mentioned above... Gibsons are beautiful, but in my opinion, sensitive pieces of carefully carved wood. Not for me...

interesting interview... FR sounds a lot more positive than in recent interviews last year...
I still have the feeling that once the Last Electrics tour is over, an urge will emerge to go back on stage with the electrics for th odd electric Show here and there... So that These cant be called a "tour"!
Why else would he still give his old green Tele back to Fender and Lloyd mentioning that it hasn't seen its last appearance... (Or is he talking about the Last Electrics tour - is the green Tele being made fit for the last tour once again?!)

I've got a Fender RP Signature Tele, of course equipped with heavy strings (I once even had 0.64-0.14 Jazz strings on it...! now I'm back to .56 Chromes), and Ialso have an SG (Angus Young Signature) - but I never would equip the SG with such heavy strings! the SG looks awesome (and plays, too!), but also looks somewhat frail for these strings, whereas the simple, strong design of the Tele just screams to be built for heavy loads - a Rock 'n' Roll Rangerover, as someone put it aptly!

Good one thank you. This must have been done about 6 months ago ...
"“Back then, nobody really gave a fuck, we just all piled in one studio room, sat in a circle and looked at each other with the amps up really loud. A lot of overspill down the mics played a big part in our sound on vinyl, but those days are long gone now and they’ll never come back. It was a great experience to record in a way that seemed so natural. I’m not sure, though, if digital was to blame or we were just drifting off... "
I,m not a "burn everything after 1976"er, but I've always believed that things changed not-for-the-better after they stopped sitting round in a circle. (Ever since I discovered that they did once sit round in a circle.)

It's just trollstuff - always was. Their songs are maybe simpler across the board than those of some, but they still have a better sound and good songs. Get over it, world! |

Unlike my Tele which does have one. |

Indeed I confess that i'm not an expert but does Ricky's No 1 Tele have a Truss Rod in it? As there's no dark stripe on the back of the neck. Unlike my Tele which does have one. It does indeed.....this is from Fender: In guitar terminology, “skunk stripe” refers to the thin walnut strip running down the back of the necks of many Fender instruments. The purpose of this walnut strip is simple—it fills in the channel routed out of the back of the neck for placement of the truss rod. Fender necks are typically made of lighter-colored maple, so the darker walnut strip creates considerable contrast, and this is what long ago led to the affectionate nickname “skunk stripe.” The design dates back to the early 1950s for Fender instruments, and possibly further back for other instrument makers (who didn’t necessarily use walnut). While some makers other than Fender continue to use a rear-neck-channel design, the term “skunk stripe” most often refers to Fender instruments that have it. A one-piece maple neck/fingerboard with a skunk stripe was standard at Fender from 1950 to 1958, except for a few very early Esquire guitars that had no truss rod. When rosewood fingerboards were introduced on the Jazzmaster in 1958 and made standard on other Fender models in mid 1959, skunk stripes were rendered unnecessary because the truss rods channels on those instruments were routed into the front of the neck rather than the back, and then covered by the glued-on fingerboards. Rosewood-fingerboard instruments with no skunk stripe remained the standard at Fender throughout most of the 1960s. During this period, a two-piece maple neck/maple fingerboard combination with no skunk stripe was available as a special-order option. So in general, skunk-stripe necks were around for most of the 1950s but absent for most of the 1960s Rick's Tele is a 1962. So maybe Rossi's Tele might not be a 1957 model. As that has a maple neck, with no stripe on the back. Unless it had a neck replacement at some point. |
