Thanks for posting. I find the legendary guitars like Blackie just about as interesting as the players themselves. I wonder if angels sing and a warm glow appears when the case opens? :D

I just saw Blackie in Frankfurt, this Saturday, at the Musikmesse.
Alongside Lenny, in a glass case.

There also was a vintage show, on the same floor.

I don't know about rainbows and doves (at least none crapped on me), it did feel funny to be in their presence.

Whenever Eric played Blackie it sounded like angels singing.I feel the sameway he does about vintage guitars and people think I'm nuts.I guess that's the difference,if you're poor and a bit off the wall they say you're nuts but if you're rich and off the wall you're just eccentric.

That's a great interview, thanks for posting!


"He brought the guitar (Blackie!) out for a handful of special occasions after that, including his 1991 Royal Albert Hall shows."

Anyone got pics or any other footage of this? Did he play Blackie through the Soldano amps he used at the time???
