Members strangegrey Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 Agreed. No one will ever come close to the magic of that ACL performance. Beer spooging out the top of the bottle, spraying all over the fretboard...and he makes it sounds like he's doing it with a finger slide! WoW! What's more amazing is when he rubs down his neck with the towel and continues to play. I don't think there's a guy here that could play through a towel without accidentally muting strings all over the place. That beer bottle ad was most likely recorded with a finger slide and 'air played' with the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, he had it "goin on'" for that performance. Good stuff:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the "your label could be here" reference was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members strangegrey Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 Originally posted by BootRoots Its not like gatton was the only guy to use a beer bottle No, but I defy you to show me a performance where the beer bottle (and subsequent towel) is used to such mastery....

Members guitarmook Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 I was in the studio when Danny recorded that ACL thang... they cut about 3 minutes out of the middle of that slide solo thing - in fact he played about an hour's worth of songs. After foaming most of the beer out, and then finishing the bottle-off, and tossing it over his shoulder, he told a little story about the Custom Shop guy that helped him create his guitar, and how mad that guy would be about beer all over the guitar - so he got out the towel. "See, I'm keeping our guitar nice and clean...(wink)" The thing I miss most about his music is his humor - from the 'commercial', to his love for TV theme songs, etc... he was a funny dude, and one of the few people able to make his music 'funny' sometimes.
