and playing like that at 21, wow. I remember being in Italy, I was 17 and was a total beginner and another kid invited me to his place to listen to the Stand in Line album (I didn't have money to buy records, but he had) and remember the picture with Chris on the back of the album while listening to the riffs and solos on Secret Lover, and I thought, wow, this guy is a guitar genius, I love this. 🤘
Chris Impellitteri is a remarkable musician with a remarkable story. The Stand in Line album to me was also (and still is) an iconic album, Secret Lover blew my mind but I loved all the songs. Very cool interview, I actually think that the best interviews are conducted by non-guitarists, as too often real musicians end up being interviewed by gear nerds and 'guitar nerds' and the like, which aren't at all the same thing. Nowadays there's too much focus on gear consumerism and BS and not enough on music itself, which is always the real goal. Thank you!
I Love to hear Rob & Chris, missed Chris when he was in his last cover band in CT. however i never missed a show when i found out that the Band was Hot Because my Guitar God is Jay Jesse Johnson from Cryer, a lot of people were bummed when Cryer broke up , then JJJ filled some shoes when Chris left CT to go out to CA. and get a Record contract, So Vice was Chris and Robs Band and now JJJ was playing with Vice and the world was right again, they would open with Burn, Jay can play anything, he has put in his 10,000 hrs 2/3 times over and now he is doing Blues Rock and it is some of the most Melodic Blues out there.
great interview questions. best guitarist hands down
Paul Bolsaph? Oh yeah .. I'm totally getting this record. Loved him with FORBIDDEN.
