- Summary: Gibson Guitars Party: Gibson Guitars Party 12/15/2008
- Description:01:00:03 - B-Roll Gibson shots of guitars, Gibson sign, a piano, shots of party 01:03:35 - B-Roll Gibson shots around party, the bar, the stage, some guitars, shots around party, Gibson amps, shots around party 01:06:15 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Rooney Taylor My favorite, it changes almost every week. Ned and I built a studio last summer and we have a whole rack of predominantly Gibson instruments in there and we kind, the analogy we use is its like being a casting director for a film. You have a part you need somebody to play and you just instinctively know which guitar will do that job, so I do have um ? S-ball special that was my first Gibson custom shop guitar I bought shortly after we got signed and that guitar has been on tour with me the most and is most probably the guitar that our fans most closely associate with me and the band. But we have a lot of really great guitars in there so its hard to pick. 01:07:01 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Ned I used to go with him to the old Gibson shop on Sunset. Apparently they moved 5 years ago so Im out of the loop. Taylor Yeah Ive been here to get a Firebird and to get a burst top Les Paul and you know Jack Cassidy bass. Ned You started him on guitars and hes just going to talk about them all night. As he should. 01:07:29 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Ned Yes Im a big Panther fan, Ive seen them live twice. Im looking forward to seeing them in this intimate venue uh and I think theyre great, we were just talking about them in the car. 01:07:45 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Ned I dont know weve played, our band Rooneys played everything from tiny places to stadiums and stuff. My favorite stuff is like a good sized theater or a big modern club with good sound. I think thats where it sounds the best and where you can connect with the fans the best but its still comfortable. 01:08:07 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Taylor The band came together when we were in high school, when we were teenagers. It just came together organically, friends and friends of friends, we all met. Everyone just feel into our roles on the instruments and uh stayed together ever since. 01:08:38 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Taylor You know the thing with embracing technology is if its good technology then I think musicians in our business do embrace it and if its maybe a little wonky or prematurely or has issues then it can be very frustrating for somebody whos trying to just uh carry on with the creative process and they dont want these tools to hinder them. I have not physically played the Dark Fire yet, I dont know if anyone has besides who was testing it, but I will say in terms of amp modeling and plugins and stuff available in the digital realm and Pro Tools. Weve certainly embraced a lot of that, weve had a lot of fun and flexibility and uh its really all about great sound and a great workflow so those 2 things are happening then theres gonna be a great product that musicians are going to gravitate towards. 01:09:43 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Ned No it hasnt. I use a pretty simple setup like that one over there, real Ringo Starr setup. But it changes in the way that like uh Pro Tools and stuff opens up a lot of doors for and I think the modern sounding recording is a more recording based thing although I am a drum purest. We try and blend those elements in our band and we are kind of weve done everything from really old school recording and stuff to really modern stuff too so were making our third studio record now for Interscope and um I think its sort of a blend of like classic rock and very modern kind of approach as well. 01:10:27 - Sound Bite: Ned Brower & Taylor Locke Taylor Well its our third record and uh weve managed to hang on to a fan base for a long time, there was a big gap between our first and second record where we were trying a bunch of different things and hopefully our audience is patient with us and its like Ned said we are blending a lot of influences. Our base core influences that we sort of inform everything we do, our classic melodic rock and roll stuff like British invasion, The Beatles, The Who, uh Yard Birds, Zombie, Queen, Electric Light Orchestra, all that. What I think uh recently weve been really opening ourselves up to like new funk and danceable rhythms and a lot of drum and bass oriented things and a lot of times its been a new writing tool of ours to start from the ground up, working to grooves and rhythms. At the end of the day its gonna be a lyric thats catchy and emotional and storytelling and a melody thats strong and catchy and gets stuck in peoples heads. Other than that everything else are just different flavors that we open ourselves up to so that every record can be a little different than the one before it. 01:11:43 - B-Roll Gibson Dave Amato 01:12:23 - Sound Bite: Dave Amato REO Speedwagon Of course, its a Gibson Les Paul! No no no I have old Les Pauls that are really cool. (talks) Ive got a 52 gold top old gold thats great, for a collector, but Ive got a triple pickup 59 Les Paul, thats awesome. 01:12:57 - Sound Bite: Dave Amato Oh its just awesome, yeah, awesome guitar. I cant wait to, for the guys to demo it up over here. 01:13:09 - B-Roll Gibson people in party, Wesley Scantlin 01:14:28 - Sound Bite: Wesley Scantlin Puddle of Mudd Uh yeah my wife just bought me the Jimmy Page special edition. I think they made like a couple hundred of them, and its really awesome man. I dont even really look at it, because its like the Ark of the Covenant so Im gonna let it sit there for awhile, play it every once and awhile but I dont wanna scratch it up 01:14:53 - Sound Bite: Wesley Scantlin Yeah um, you know Les Paul um whos invented multi-tracking and also like you know great Les Paul guitars that I use all the time, his birthday is the same as my birthday and uh my wife on my birthday she uh she had a guitar, its a Gator special edition, and its signed on the headstock by Les Paul and um Im trying to talk to him about maybe making the Wes Paul, haha, but I dont know if theyre going for it man. 01:15:31 - Sound Bite: Wesley Scantlin I think its pretty cool, you know um, just the technology nowadays, you might as well utilize it and make everything and simplify everything and theres a recording device in there like a harddrive or something and I havent really gotten to check it out a lot but um I think Ive seen other different versions of that type of a guitar and yeah its a smart way to go, its very easy to record, you can plug it right into your laptop, and away you go, you know. 01:16:01 - Sound Bite: Wesley Scantlin Yeah yeah yeah, Ive gone and seen those guys a couple times and theyre talented musicians as well as like rock stars and also comedians and they get their getup on and theyre you know theyre good man 01:16:17 - Sound Bite: Wesley Scantlin Yeah were gonna be on pre-production in February. We just got uh just got off tour for like a year and a half, went to like Iraq, Kuwait, played for all the soldiers, and uh God bless everybody over there taking care of business and uh yeah I was gonna do a new record in the next uh, just after the new year, you know. 01:16:44 - Sound Bite: Wesley Scantlin Its really uh its really kind of cool, you know when youre like growing up as a kid and youre like going to the woods and you go out and play fake war and stuff and you go over there its like the real deal and theyre, you know they get to like the technology nowadays is also making you know making the war even though the war is bad a lot safer to where theres not as many casualties which is a good thing you know and hopefully we can get everybody back here in one piece you know and see their family members and their friends and stuff. 01:17:19 - B-Roll Gibson some chicks, various of party, some dude, some other dudes 01:18:47 - B-Roll Gibson Satchel explains what a guitar god is by rocking to camera 01:19:09 - Sound Bite: Michael Starr Billy Ray has his own sense of style which is very unique. Back in the 80s I think he had the mullet and now in the 90s he ended up with a mini mullet and now hes got this new thing where its kind of long with streaks in it and last time I tried to touch his hair he freaked out so I dont know if hes got a toupee or hair pieces so Im just gonna leave his hair alone, let him do the best he can with what hes got, you know its Billy Ray Cyrus. 01:19:39 - Sound Bite: Lexxi Foxx, Satchel Lexxi - The best thing to do obviously is, I dont have it with me, is at the front of our tour bus and its in the tour bus that were in right now, its there but its Aquanet, what we like to do is lift our hair as much as you possibly can. Do something like this. Obviously its very important to heavy metal to flip the hair around, ? all of a sudden which just happened with my hair. Looks a lot different than it did before, so the more you flip it the more you flow and the length is very important. You cut it, you cut it every six months, you get the split ends off, this is a great example. Satchel Is there a particular length that is best for the hair or is there too long? Can it get too long? Lexxi - Whatever length I have is the best. 01:20:34 - Sound Bite: Stix Zadinia, Satchel, Michael Starr Stix Uh I would say the guiding philosophy is uh chicks. Chicks um uh and their vaginas and then also just partying. So and you know we play heavy metal, and we look this good to party with hot chicks with vaginas. I mean, thats it. Michael Oh my God, you know what? Youre the drummer and I gotta tell you Im proud of you. Satchel That was the deepest thing youve ever said. Are you on peyote right now? Stix Im hot, Im hot man, I feel weird, that was like thinking. Michael I gotta tell you something, this is the Hollywood Reporter were talking to, you just nailed a grand slam. 01:21:34 - Sound Bite: Satchel, Lexxi Foxx, Michael Starr, Stix Zadinia Satchel Uh it will do everything. It will tune itself, it gets a myriad of tones. Myriad, look that up in the dictionary, look that up on Wikipedia, ok? Michael Who told you that word? Satchel It will uh it will has six strings, well a lot of guitars have six strings, but it will do it will pretty much do everything. Itll put itself away when youre done, it will self clean like an oven, um its uh it you will definitely get more vagina with this guitar in your hands. Michael Now thats whats most important. If a guitar can get you more vagina, thats a guitar you want people, dont go to. Lexxi Heres whats the most amazing part that I like the guitar is that it comes in different colors. Michael It does, it does come in different colors. Satchel And also you can uh when you play this guitar you dont have to use condoms because it can it will tell you which girls at the show have STDs. Stix STD detector, its got built in. Michael You have no idea how important that is to guys like us. I mean we nail so many chicks and you know sometimes well end up with a little Chlamydia and we dont know we have it and we pass it on to his mom and stuff its uncomfortable so this guitar has been a savior for us. Satchel You know its obviously we dont have to worry about all the STDs out there, its not like you can catch herpes twice you know there are certain Michael Its the gift that keeps on giving. Satchel It really is, I know. But actually this Dark Fire will tune itself which is probably the coolest thing about it. did I mention that? It tunes itself? It does, I think I did actually, right in the very beginning. Stix You should show him the lights. Satchel Watch this, watch this. Ok check it out, pull this little knob out, right? Lexxi Oh look at that! Stix Is it tuning it right now? Satchel No its just making little lights. Lexxi Look at the letters its making letters! Satchel Isnt that cool? Its actually spelling out the name of our band, Steel Panther, holy shit, she knows that Im in Steel Panther. One of the cool things about this is uh the nut on this is uh made out of titanium so you can play it for days and youll never bust a nut. Michael That sucks. Its like being on cocaine. Stix Yeah. Or adoral. Satchel its good if youre playing on the guitar. Michael Its not good if youre having sex. Well you know what thats not true. Some chicks hate it when you bust a nut too early. Satchel Is that true? Michael Do you do that? Stix Do you do that? Satchel Who cares what they think, right? Michael You got that right. Word. Chicks are like lighters, theres one every 5 minutes. 01:24:23 - B-Roll Gibson Billy Ray Cyrus, Brandi Cyrus, the band Sweet, 01:26:05 - Sound Bite: Steve Stewart, Richie Onori, Joe Retta, Stuart Smith, Steve Priest Joe Okay one time this Gibson Les Paul almost knocked me out on stage because the guitar player went like this. I had the mic like this, and boom, its one of my best vocal moments ever. Stuart I hate the things. Richie Yeah Stuart was playing the show and he hit right into this cabinet and he went down backwards and totally knocked him out. Stuart I was up in a few seconds I think. Richie He hardly drank. Stewart I gotta good one for stability of fuckin the Gibson bass, that big fuckin honkin. A buddy of mine, a buddy of mine, Im sorry. (talks) A buddy of mine is hammering away and the stage split apart a little bit and he went down right and he went down hard and the only thing that stopped him was the neck of the bass and he just stood there rankin away and the thing never went out of tune man. They pulled him back out of there, no issues. Priest Ive got a good one. I hadnt finished yet, I was watching screaming lord ? a hundred years ago and the bass player was being harassed by some guy so he took his ? off, whacked him around the head with it, and put it back on and kept on playing. 01:27:34 - Sound Bite: Steve Stewart, Richie Onori, Joe Retta, Stuart Smith, Steve Priest Stuart its good theres a huge resurgence of it, which we cant believe. I mean weve been out on tour this year and our audience went from like 15 years old to 50. And then at the 13 year olds were down the front and they knew all the words, better than we do. 01:28:25 - B-Roll Gibson the band Sweet, cutaway 01:29:43 - Sound Bite:Jacko Karako Guitarist for Miley Cyrus Oh man uh I cant remember where we were but we were in a hotel somewhere, maybe in Pennsylvania or Ohio, somewhere on the other side of the country, were in California you know. And uh somehow all the kids in the area got tipped off that Miley was staying at this hotel with us so we go to leave lobby call in the hotel at like 9am and we cant get down any of the elevators because you click on it and it comes up to your level on the hotel floor its overflowing with little kids, like, Oh my gosh, you cant get in. so they had to rush security and uh and like housekeepers from the hotel and take us down maintnence elevators I guess you call them and we had to sneak out the back and make like this grand exit. So I guess thats pretty crazy. 01:30:56 - Sound Bite: Jacko Karako {laughs} Im excited to see Steel Panther, I uh I hear all the legend about them because of their whole Metal Skool here in LA. But I havent really gotten to catch them. Ive actually played before like opening for uh for Steel Pantehr but I only maybe saw a song and then had to leave so it should be crazy. 01:31:25 - Sound Bite: Jacko Karako Definitely, because on the road Im always trying to do recording so what I do is I end up bringing a whole rig of a bunch of junk that I never really need, because all Im really doing on the road is just recording ideas or doing stuff for like TV, but now you can just plug it in and rock out. 01:31:51 - B-Roll Gibson pan across crowd to Sweet, guitar on wall, something not sure what it is, a dude flipping some papers, Billy Morrison and Wesley Scantlin 01:32:58 - Sound Bite: Billy Morrison How about last week in Chicago I was playing a show with Steve Stevens whos gonna be playing later with me tonight and his 7 thousand dollar custom made Gibson guitar got broken cause I knocked it over. How about that for a story? (talks) Hes not very happy with me. Um its not the greatest guitar story but its definitely in my head right now, but uh let me think, guitar story. Its hard to think, I mean basically I own lots. Theyre all Gibsons. I play Gibson exclusively. Les Pauls actually. 01:33:53 - Sound Bite: Billy Morrison Um well I think that uh I think there is a resurgence of Rock and Roll, I dont think its any particular fashion or cult thing, I just think its good old fashioned rock and roll. I put an album out last year with Matt ? and Billy Duffy, the band was called Circus Diablo and it was just AC/DC meets Sex Pistols and it was very well received. You know AC/DC is cleaning it up out there right now. You know Velvet Revolvers, you know not right now but uh the Stone Temple Pilots, its a rock world out there so I dont know about uh you know a resurgence, its just a resurgence of good old fashioned rock guitars. 01:34:56 - Sound Bite: Billy Morrison Oh its the Les Paul. I own about 30 Les Pauls uh Im very lucky to have a good relationship with Gibson and uh you know I dont do it because I have a good relationship, Ive always played Les Pauls, the very first guitar Ive ever owned was a Les paul and quite frankly, Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols, when I was 12, I saw him playing a Les Paul and a little Fender ?, its the Les Paul its what you want. Its a rock and roll guitar. 01:35:28 - Sound Bite: Billy Morrison I know it blows my little mind. I dont understand it. Ill still play it but I dont understand it. 01:36:00 - B-Roll Gibson Steel Panther video on screen 01:37:18 - B-Roll Gibson Michael fixes up Lexxis hair on stage, they introduce the show and the guitar (not a good vantage point and angle for seeing them play)
