Also recently on Prime I saw a KIlling Joke doc called "The Death & Resurrection Show" which was somewhat interesting but it was mostly about how crazy and into weird mystical stuff the band members are. I wanted to hear more about how they made their music.
Ugh yes. I'm a somewhat recent convert to KJ's music but yeah much of this documentary undid a lot of that. Jaz seems like he would be insufferable to be around.
BUT, there's an excellent scene where Geordie.. lemme back up to say that basically any guitar player I respect thinks extremely highly of his parts and overall guitar sound.. is asked about his guitar at the kitchen table and reaches over to grab his one and only semi-hollow Gibson
which I think is just leaning against the fuckin' wall to comment about it. That guitar will probably end up in a museum one day yet he's not precious with it at all.
Not semi hollow, completely hollow. It's an ES-295; basically an upgraded ES-125TDC, but full thickness (I think Gibson did actually make some ES-125DC guitars, but don't quote me on it) with a gold finish and some other cosmetic niceties. I've never played a 295, but I have a 125TDC and it's a fabulous, functional guitar. I love it for the same reason Geordie likes the 295 - it has the aggressive girth of a P90 electric but the dynamics and response of an acoustic.
