Never owned a Gibson, always been a fender man... but I've watched so many of these videos with Mark, and I finally get the appeal! Who knows I might even buy one!
Jack White is so fuckin cool. Off and on over the last decade he has easily become one of my all around favorite musicians of all time! A true musical renaissance man, Jack is the real deal...✌️✌️✌️
Man, Rogério Duarte (the guy who made the art cover for the first Caetano Veloso's album, the Pink Psychdelic one who appeared all over this video) must be very proud to see his art stamp all over the Third Man Records and in the Gibson TV... Listen to Caetano Veloso's The Pink Psycodelic Album! It's Awesome!
I did a show in the infamous blue room there with a hip hop artist a few years ago. Pretty sure Jack is never letting a hip hop artist there again. Lmao. I was so nervous in the green room seeing how people were behaving around all of the trinkets and equipment
Ndid I see that the cutter head was an old Westrex, aka Western Electric? Very cool that they can and do recording, the mastering and then cutting the lacquer. That’s why everyone who loves music, loves Nashville.
Samson Kirkpatrick - gold. At the first show we did I asked him what year his guitar was and he goes, “oh I’m not sure, Leo Fender gave this to me in 1956.” Haha. Oh, you don’t say...
They do release classic albums and performances to at TMR. I recently bought The Stooges lastever show with Dave Alexadra and also a really cool package to comemerate Trout Mask Replica. And you canbuy this stuff on line (im in UK). Reasonable prices too.
A really fascinating episode. Thanks very kindly. Would not have known or seemed out as not a Jack White follower. Now if we could just eliminate the word “iconic”.
That Elephant Head was sold to Jack by the American Pickers.. He did a good hustle to get a good price with a photo booth trade-in IIRC.. Jack is a shrewd mofo lol..
I think he has a record store here in Detroit using the same name where they also have small gatherings but it's been there awhile. I heard it is a nice place but they probably wouldn't lat us play there. No worries though as our drummer is not allowed in the US.
"We only see our own label records" and the goes on to tell how they reissue old records from other lables I'm not sure he knows what words mean, but it looks like a fun tourist trap.
It would be great if Gibson could flex it’s strong arm to push out the “battle of the bands” sharks that are preying on the feast of talent here in Nashville. I’m disinfranchied by all of the fraudulent “promoters” that disappeared when my guys clearly won the battle of the bands.
