Great Interview! I have followed Pete Thorn for many Years, and he's a great friend witch I never got to meet but he helps a long list of Guitarist & Musicians with a personal pept talk & guide to all Things Sound & Gear. With Pete drawn hear means so much to all who knows PETE THORN I really love to see the show live but for me it's to far to travel & Health. But I have tried to follow all I can find and the Band is so good my hats are off 2 James Cole & intire Crew from the Director James to the roadies, can't forget those backbones to the intire project! TY for doing a great job on bringing us a little bit closer to the Band. From USA we don't have The Classic Rock Show in the States witch we hope they get to come to the States?? We need to keep real Music Alive and James has got all Pros keeping Rock n Roll Alive!! TY James Cole & everyone in the CREW! God Bless!! PS: Please bring to States or put on a DVDS 4 us FANS who can't make it to Europe!!
Thanks Ryan for a great comment about Pete and what is a brilliant show. Hopefully one day you will be able to experience it for yourself which I hope you will do. CMP produce great shows to a high standard and if you haven’t already, check out Rumours of Fleetwood Mac who do tour Canada and the US. Cheers Kev 😊👍
@@paulmartin6946 Well I hear That and I know it was talked about. I just don't like to count My chicken's B4 hatch 🐣🐥🐣 kind of guy But if they get to it will be out of range but I still want them to come for all my Music Family, TY 4 Sharing I hope your source and mine are good 👍🙏🎸🤘🤠
Brilliant interview of a superb musician who can mix it with the best. Over the last couple of years James has really come out of his shell. He has always been Mr dependable but now looks comfortable in fighting for stage space which has complimented the stage prescence of the band.
I couldn’t agree more Paul, not only being a great guitarist in his own right, but also being the musical director, producer and he’s even managed to squeeze in time to be a great bloke too. Thanks for your comment. Cheers Kev 😊👍
@@GigsandGuitars Having seen them at Cambridge again this year and also obtaining a copy of the new CD and DVD I have to say that they have moved up into yet another level and the stage prescence is off the charts. Been around a long time following live music since the early sixties and this fantastic group of musicians are as good as it gets and to me are the best live band around. There are many greaat bands and musicians around the world but not so many that performs live night after night to the level that this band does.The world is their oyster and they certainly have the talent to become global.
@@paulwestcott6798 glad you enjoyed the video and more importantly TCRS and how they evolving each and every year. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience of the show which is appreciated. Cheers Kev 😎
Great interview. I was blown away by the tone at the Swindon gig and was wondering about James' rig - turns out it is pretty much what I am doing, using the fractal in 4CM together with my tube amp - amazing results! I shall refer all the naysayers to this video!
@@GigsandGuitars Anytime Kev - I'm also a big fan of Pete so watching that one next! Cant praise The Classic Rock Show enough - immensely talented bunch of great people!
Thanks for this visit with James Cole, I will be seeing CRS in Waukegan Illinois next week. I have been watching this amazing group of musicians and excited to see them in person. James is an amazing musical director/manager for the group. I have been trying to learn about the current members of this group......... Thank You Gigs and Guitars.......Jeff Thompson Rockford, Illinois......... I will be learning about the others here on your channel...........thank you Kev
Hi Jeff, many thanks for the kind words and that you enjoyed the video on James. Enjoy the show and also the other interviews, which In sure that you will. Kind regards Kev 😊
Thanks Jean, I really appreciate the feedback 👍 Bizarrely, I’d bought several hand made cables for the interviews, one of which failed but that is just how it goes!! Huge thanks for supporting the channel. Regards Kev 😊👍
I've really enjoyed watching all of your interview videos Kev. I've had the privilege of meeting the band when they performed at Poole. An incredibly talented group of musicians and just wonderful people to talk to. They helped me to get back into playing my guitars and rocking the riffs again. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see all your future content. 🎸🎸
Great interview. James once told me he liked D'Angelico guitars if memory serves me right. I asked him too if he liked the Suhr after seeing him play it a couple of years ago. I am glad to see it has grown on him!
Thanks Steve, glad that you liked it. Pete Thorn with John Suhr has done a great job and as you saw he loves it. I’ve yet to play one myself and It would be great to compare it to my JS1000…….fingers crossed!! 😂👍
@@GigsandGuitars I suspect you'll find the pickups to be very different. I had a JS2400 series and it's clear to me that Joe likes a more hot-rodded pickup sound, where Pete is a vintage-inspired guy. That said, I've played a couple of the PT Suhrs and they are absolutely spectacular.
@@captainquirk5141 thanks for taking the time to comment with your experience of both guitars which is appreciated and also very interesting. I’d still love to compare how my JS1000 sounds with its bass wood/maple compared to the Mahogany Suer. Hopefully I’ll get the chance. Regards Kev 😊👍
Romeo & Juliet was my favourite of the tour... played with such feeling and the vocals were spot on...... Rick Parfitt was my all time favourite as can be seen in my avatar pic....
Just a fantastic guitarist and musician!
Absolutely, it was a pleasure to meet James and also to take a look at lovely guitars too. Glad you liked the video. 😊👍

A refreshing change to see a band who don’t have any egos at all . A real hardworking down to earth bunch of musicians. Credit to them

The Lespaul style is my favourite go to also, using the Capparelli S4 Lespaul atm the L/P s are just great.👍😎🎵🎶
Cheers for the comment, you can’t beat a good LP😊👍
Love those Suhrs.
They did look the business. Fingers crossed that I might just be able to have a play on a Pete Thorn Suhr one day 🤞😂
@@GigsandGuitars I hope it’s soon. I saw them in a guitar shop but they were out of my league.

To me they are the absolutely kings of rock !!! No other band could do it this way !!!
Brilliant Interview!!! Seeing them on Wednesday!
Thanks Darren, glad you liked it and enjoy Wednesday 🤘🤘🤘
seriously riveting.
i came to see what guitar he used on Ziggy Stardust.
Good question, I really can’t help you out there but thanks for asking anyway. Cheers Kev
@@GigsandGuitars well, I narrowed it down.
Kevin, your interviews are really very good. i've enjoyed all of them & wish you continued luck! 🌺

Really enjoyed this, and the others in the series so far. Saw them last year - fantastic gig. Thanks, Kev. 😎
Thanks Pete, glad that you like the series and many thanks for taking the time to comment which is appreciated. Regards Kev 😊👍
Great one 👍 bit of a problem with sound that you apologised for. Doesn’t detract from the great topic 😉👍
Superb Video Great Player and a Great Guy.👌

Interesting guy. And especially about his love of 30ft guitar leads :)
Cheers Norm, I'm with him all the way with leads.........could have done with a better one for this episode though!!😂😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one that forgets how to play a song you’ve done for years. I find it gets worst with age.
Ha ha thanks, I’ve been there a few times too….. I’m looking forward to my next time when I can’t remember anything! 😂👍
Romeo & Juliet was my favourite of the tour... played with such feeling and the vocals were spot on...... Rick Parfitt was my all time favourite as can be seen in my avatar pic....
Wayne performed it very well and is a natural for any Dire Straights. I can definitely see that, nice looking guitar 😊👍
