Title: Nailbomb in Gibson SG
Post by: Tellboy on May 01, 2006, 04:02:16 PM: After boring my son about the benefits of BKPs, he asked for a Nailbomb in his SG (and a Miracle Man in his Explorer) as a Christmas Pressy.

This is a recording of him using his SG/Nailbomb with his group "i fell over" - called "1830 Overture".

I know I'm a bit biased but I'm sorely tempted to put a Nailbomb in my old SG after hearing this.

P.S. Don't be fooled by the beginning!

Thanks - Yes, the intro caught me out too. The guitar is multitracked - all Gibson SG (dropped C tuning) through a Marshall TSL 100.

Is that you 38th, or did your son hack your account again?

Great clip. Very good hard rock SG tone.

Yes certainly does - and as a bonus he's always been one of my best friends. Got me listening to bands/music I would never have got into if left to my own devises (although there are still a few I'm not too keen on :? )

His band stopped gigging at the end of last year and buried themselves away religiously rehearsing and writing. With the help of a friend they got a demo together of new material and sent a copy to Joe Gibb at the Mighty Atom studios in Swansea. Joe has produced work for Funeral For A Friend, Million Dead, 3 Colours Red, Brigade, Liberty 7 amongst others. He liked some of their work and agreed to produce 6 of their numbers. All the songs (including 1830 Overture here) are still in rough mix form - will still be a few days before they are finally mixed.
