I grew up watching this show and I
Iiked your article. Happy thanksgiving from Hong Kong!

The Trip is very funny. Saw it on a plane. Features Brydon's Man in a Small Box, as well as Coogan trying and failing to do it himself, and also the very funny multi octave singing competition (law la la la….)

I guess what little thought that he did have to put, after having first allocated it to things like making sure he had enough jack daniels and heroin (ie when he went to record the solo on Mama Said for Lenny Kravitz he had NO booze and this was apparently a big problem—later solved), he put into his solos….

I second that. It's clear he put a lot of thought into his solos. Y

Rick Derringer plays (and nails) it on eat it

Ronsons wailing at the end of moon age daydream is epic

Bill Nelson is incredible.

Spirit of radio!

Also Moonlight Mile

Agree. .the guitar parts are awesome. Those guys (Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner) went on to play with Alice Cooper.

Also Fripp on St Elmo's Fire. Astonishing

Also Powderfinger.

I was looking forward to reading this article when I saw the headline only to find the entries from the staff writers to be the lamest, weakest entries ever. "oh I'm into punk so i don't like guitar solos"—please. If you don't like guitar solos, don't contribute to this article. Its like asking a vegetarian to opine…

I remember they played in Bandung a while ago.

True, although it still weighs 50 lbs!

scrap that, Mattias Jabs! all les paul and driven tubes…!

Second that. Klaus Meinos or whatever his name is lays down a mighty wail in the lick to No On Like You.

Um, the Rolling Stones?

Great interview. He's obviously bullshitting her "I sleep with my guitar AND amp", "I chopped down trees in the forest for money at age 9 to buy my guitar" but he's whimsical and interesting and not obnoxious.

Thats exactly right. Plus there is another scam involving Steve Madden Shoes going public. The book is actually pretty funny, and is apparently true.
