Another small step
Another small step in the right direction for my solo project. Hate to call it a "project" really. But it will work for now.
Good meeting the other day regarding a possible sign with a major company. Same goes for the producer/engineer. And maybe even the studio for recording it the "real" way. have to wait and see there though.
But even if I get turned down at the end I will make this "project" a reality anyway.
I would be very pleased to be playing for you guys again if I get the chance.
More songs have been written and they turned out great. I am happy to finally see the red line through some of the songs and it is starting to shape into an album. Sort of!
One thing I have to dig into is my vocals. It´s not easy, I´ll tell you!
But after all, I have been in the same band with the best of them all for ten years, and i would be stupid if i didn´t pick up anything from Jocke after all these years. And I am married to an equally great singer. So this would be of some help I suppose.
Well you tell me!

1 or 400 guitars?
About guitarists and the use of one particular model or the "use them all" theory!
I am one of those guys who like to use all different kind of guitars. No matter what, really.
Strat´s, Tele´s, Paul´s, pointy and weird. Love them all.
I was always told that the coolest thing is the players who stick with one brand or model. But i am a firm believer that it´s all bullshit! How boring. it´s like wearing only soccer shoes all the time. Even when playing hockey! Its like frying fish in a tea pot! Come on?
OK?
When people think Hendrix they see a Strat, right!
I see the Ultra cool flying V, the 3 pup Sg and lots of Strats.
Not even slash. Remember the Travis bean, The Guild double neck, Bc rich mockingbird, Jackson firebird. Check the inlay photos from Appetite for destruction.
Billy Gibbons, Pete Townsend, Zakk Wylde, Eddie, CC. All used many different brands and models. Only Angus used one. Only Angus.
So today we check some of Joe Perrys guitars.

Back to the wonderful world of weird guitars
What the...?
This is a Robin Wedge. Robin was a fairly ok brand back in the eighties. If I stumbled in to one of these, I would buy it right on!
Now don´t come telling me that they are boring and ugly. Maybe it´s YOU?
Some of these monsters are really great guitars when it comes down to craftsmanship, choice of wood and hardware.
I have found something nice on Ebay that i actually put a bid on. Right now it´s on 200 Dollars and thats just ridiculous. I show you if i win.
ciao ´fo nao

Same goes for this eighties Dean with Kahler tremolo.

R.I.P
Just got the word that a very close friend passed away last week. And it is a horrible morning right now.
Soon out of tears. Why is it always the great people who leaves us first. And so young.
He left a wife and a beautiful daughter who my thoughts are with now.
Vila i frid.

BC RICH frenzy part II
As i have searched the web for a BC Rich wanderer to buy. I remembered that a friend of mine, we can call him Denny, once gave me a usb stick with many many photos of guitars. Not geeky at all?
I had a fast run thru and found some cool ones.
So i share with you even if you don´t give a rats ass.
