Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem recently spoke to guitar manufacturer Gibson about the band's new album, influential guitarists and the quest to keep his band relevant over a lengthy career. He commented on his guitars:
For me, I always played guitars that my heroes played for that reason only, but I couldn't play my best on them and I always felt my sound was thin. I'll never forget the day I got my first '56 Les Paul Goldtop VOS in my hands. I was able to play comfortably because I have big hands, and the big '50s necks are perfect for me. But really, the main thing is the sound of the guitars; they helped me shape what was in my head. I heard the sounds of the old John Mayall Bluesbreaker records, and old Fleetwood Mac, when Peter Green was the singer.
He also talks about the band's hope to stay relevant over the next decade:
In ten years I hope we're still making records people find relevant, or else I hope we're smart enough to shut it down before we jump the shark. I think the music industry has been very greedy to its artists. They trick artists into signing things that are so horrible it should be illegal. Tom Waits says, "The large print giveth, the fine print taketh away..." and that's the truth. That's why we've stayed independent. Side One Dummy and a few others are still treating bands like partners in this whole thing. The labels need to understand that it's a team between band and label, a group effort.
