Members RomanS Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 Originally posted by Klisk Now... How about all those retro pop/mod bands that are popular right now? They all play telecasters. Exactly! You know, here in Europe, emo is not hip, cool or popular at all (at least not as much as in the US) - if you want to be part of the 'in-crowd', you've got to listen to retro-Brit-poppers like Bloc Party, the Dead 60s, Franz Ferdinand, the Arctic Monkeys, etc. - and they all play Teles!

Members Utero Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 Since when did Angus young, Tommy Iommi, Jimmy Page and many other classic rock guitarists stop playing Gibsons? Every {censored}ing genre has someone that plays a Gibson. It's not just Emo, Punk, and Hardcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alchemist Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 Originally posted by Darth Dux I've watched quite a few country video's with LP's and SG's(I stopped channel surfing for the women ) and they are using a lot of Gibson's. They seem like they use them as a fashion statement more than anyone else. They seem to hold them more than they play them. Not really. Look at it this way. Country music is based mostly in and out of Nashville........ now which major guitar company is in that area and happens to be one of the most popular brands in the world:idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex from Arctic Monkeys plays a Strat, but he is about the only person from that scene I've seen with one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edward Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 Originally posted by achtung jackass exactly! The tele/esquire is THE punk rock guitar! Au contraire!! I get what you mean, though. There's something.... brutal... about a tele wielded right that is totally punk rock. and hey, if it's good enough for Uncle Joe... I'm GASing big time for an Esquier..... I'll probably end up building my own eventually, once other projects are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slave Raider Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 Not all Gibsons, you only see the emo bands with Les Pauls or SG's. I wish Gibson had a restraining order on emos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members No Soul Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 I dunno, it seems that Schecter has been trying to eat up all the more popular bands these days. The more "sceney" ones do have Gibsons though Im in a band that I guess is "emo-punk-hardcore" or somethin which is I bought one of these I like how gibson claims these things are aimed at metalheads, but IMO its got emo hipster written all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
