"I'm planting a tree. PLANTING-A-TREE, BABY!! PHIL X!!..... [mumbling] it's my orchard, man...[/mumbling] Oh YEAH!!.... [sniff].... Phil X APP-LES!!!.... Two-thousand-and-TEN!!!.....WOOOO!!"
CLANG!!
Sound of earth being shovelled into a hole, them patted down.
SILENCE.
Do you write his scripts Philly?
I cracked up when I read Philly's, and I also wondered about "scripts". After Mr X saying he did requests (for guitars) I seriously considered finding out how to contact him, sending this in with a little explanation, and seeing if we could get him to perform it and then dedicate a guitar review to his "biggest fan in the UK, my namesake, Mr Phil Q"
(I couldn't be arsed to put the effort in though :lol:)
And how could anyone not like an SG (apart from Les Paul, obviously)???!
There's two special guitar shapes for me - the strat, and the SG (a b&w picture of Vince Melouny playing one in a 1968 Bee Gees songbook is the first time I saw one, and I've loved the shape ever since).
I have to admit though, like a suit, you've got to know how to wear an SG, and I didn't think Phil X looked particularly comfortable with one.
EDIT: Yamaha SGs on the other hand, to me, have always just looked like a slightly overweight foreigner trying to look cool like a Les Paul and failing rather badly (many apologies to Yammie SG lovers, I know there are many...)
