Former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Tracii Guns revealed that he was not pulling a Jimi Hendrix on one of his song in a new interview. Guns formed Guns N’ Roses with Axl Rose. A Van Halen member recently made a heartbreaking Jimi Hendrix remark.
Guns made the remark during an AL interview.
What’s giving the guitar its icy tone on the “Ballad of Jayne” solo? Is that a Uni-Vibe (an effects pedal guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower popularized) on there?
“Oh, on that song? On the solo? That’s just my fingers wobbling, man.”
Really?
“I literally played a Strat through a Fender Bassman and that’s it. Some reverb. Maybe the spring reverb’s a little washy on it but yeah there’s nothing fun on it.”
If you could have any well-known artist cover “Ballad of Jayne” who would you like to hear cover that?
“Wow. Who’s that fellow with the hat? (Country star) Brad Paisley. That would be awesome. I can see him doing that.”
Izzy Stradlin brutally slapping a Guns N’ Roses member was recently revealed by an ex-bandmate.
