This was f@*king great! One of your best uploads imo. Dave's destruction of Borrell was particularly enjoyable 🤣🤣 I'm an indie guitarist / '00s obsessive / musician and it's so cool to see content like this being made. Dave did a decent job and he's great to listen to, but there's a couple of points he fluffed... 1. '60s Airline guitars weren't made in Korea, they were USA made! The branding was indeed used by Montgomery Ward, but the actual guitars were made mainly by... Kay! 2. Jack White used an acoustic guitar for The White Stripes' most famous famous song, '7 Nation Army', and that guitar was actually... a KAY! 3. Kay guitars weren't made solely for Woolworths... they were a huge brand in and of their own with quite a rich and varied history and were made all over the World during different eras and used by a host of legendary players - Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler all played Kays. 4. The 'weird tail-piece' on Nick Valensi's Epiphone Riviera is called a 'Frequensator' and is unique to the Riviera. And the Riviera, in turn, is unique to Epiphone (much like the Coronet or the Casino) and is a much respected model with many notable players including Noel Gallagher and Bonehead who both played Riviera's during Oasis' giddy rise... indeed, I would hazard a guess that this very possibly influenced Valensi to get one since The Strokes were fans of Oasis, and were also sonically not really *that* dissimilar to them with their 5 piece set up, twin guitars and very similar 'slower than you'd think' BPMs. The Riviera is semi-hollowbody as you asked, as opposed to the Casino which fully hollowbody. 5. The Strat that Albert Hammond Jr played was indeed an '85 reissue, but it's NOT a reissue of a '57 Strat as Dave says, it's a reissue of '72 Strat - you can always tell the '70s Strats / re-issues by the lovely, big headstocks, which are notably bigger than all other Fender Headstocks. Great episode, you should do another one running through Franz Ferdinand's guitars (for Alex and Nick), The Coral, Arctic Monkey's, '00s Oasis, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bloc Party, Klaxons etc and maybe do a little section for some of the iconic basses as well. I'm not a famous '00s face, but am a current indie guitarist and '00s guitar obsessive and I'd gladly help for the vid! x
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah i did think Jack White's acoustic was a Kay but wasn't sure. Could deff try do a follow up ep with you involved i reckon. If you wanna give me an email: 22grandpod@gmail.com cheers!
I would have loved to include a Jazzmaster, but we couldn't do everyone. I love Jazzmaster's, I've got a J mascis signature model and it's wonderful - Dave
@@blobbyblobbyblobbyI’ve never understood how Peter Hayes from BRMC had about 8 Gibson ES 335 blocks from the 70’s and 60’s. Amazing band but surely the record label didn’t give him that much dollar
As someone who was a teenager in the 2000s and really into indie, this channel is brilliant for nostalgia of that period. Have you ever listened to the band Courting? They capture that sound well.
I was sitting outside Morrison's watching the world go by it was my first visit to Acton in many years and i saw you getting of a bus it looked like you had just finished work it didn't click in my old head that it was you until you were in the distance heading in the Police Station direction and I didn't want to disturb your peace 😎. Hope you are well and Rob is well as well 👍 I still listen to your album especially the tune Catholic Boys 👌
16.20 ish he's talking about the live sound ,I saw them at the cockpit when Peter was in rehab for the 1st time in the summer of 2003 (I won the tickets through the metro free bus paper! , not a lot of buses gave them papers out at the time maybe just the ring rd ones )any ways the monitors was very foggy you couldn't work out the lyrics still a good experience tho,and one night at the forum Kentish town even Steve lamaque whatever his name is said it sounded ropey the vocals on the 1st night .But much better after that night.
He very rarely played the single cut as it was a single pickup guitar. Think he only uses it a couple of times, he also used a 2003 red melody maker reissue at a couple of gigs but I don't think he owned it. Look at any almost any footage of the libertines and he's playing a 1964 double cut melody maker - Dave x
Well Peter gave Johnny b a black eye over him trying it on with babyshambles bassist drews then (or maybe the same?) girlfriend as Johnny was known to try it on with other mens girlfriends and Pete ruffed him up and Johnny said ' Dont start I've Been doing weight s down at ....bla bla...rd, "Oh yeah?" Said Pete and butted him .Johnny was wearing sunnys at next gigs,he's more humble now a days or not as bad as people thought he was in person to people that have met him these days
@@Postpunk-cx1ph Yes it was leeds in fact .Leeds festival but pete got a black eye from the singer of a small 90s band who was on the same bill in 2016 or after that peter went to hit him maybe over a dirty look i reckon and he missed and he punched pete with pete s saying 'He hit me .He hit me' and a other party go a said 'no u hit him first ' carnt remember if pete missed or hit him .
The Johnny Borrell section 🤣🤣 Lad from Dustin's absolutely murders him 🤣ffs
Dave is a superhero
Albert’s high strapped white strat is the indie period’s most iconic imo
CARNT belive we share the same guitar ftom similar ages ,apart from mine being stained from nicotine ,My first electric.
Agreed
Jack White's Airline wants a word... (though the Strat is obvs a nicer guitar)

@@JimmyJazz217 Maybe he saved up from older jobs he had previously, worked hard used to work on a farm when much younger
@ apparently Roberts dad from The Call gifted a guitar or two

Cheers. Can't say I have, got any links?
Saw Dave Lazer strolling down Acton High Street (Middlesex) earlier in the year still rocking the haircut 😎 🎸
Acton high street is in West London, not really anywhere near Middlesex, but you should have said hello - Dave
I was sitting outside Morrison's watching the world go by it was my first visit to Acton in many years and i saw you getting of a bus it looked like you had just finished work it didn't click in my old head that it was you until you were in the distance heading in the Police Station direction and I didn't want to disturb your peace 😎.

Dave Lazer alive and well in 2024?!
Alive kicking and ready to steal your bird, mate 😉
Welcome to her, been with her since before Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah played their last gig.

Carl had single cut melody maker and a double cut mm
He very rarely played the single cut as it was a single pickup guitar. Think he only uses it a couple of times, he also used a 2003 red melody maker reissue at a couple of gigs but I don't think he owned it.
