🎻 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐋𝐊𝐎'𝐒 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐒: 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 🎻

Today I'll finish to talk to you about 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐's musical loves, these wonderful instruments through which he lets his inspiration and creativity flow, to then touch our hearts with his art, 🎵 - for this reason it seems important to me to talk about them -.
Some of them have gone down in history and others are still with him. Do you want to discover which ones? Well, then let's get started!

The first guitar I ever owned was an ESP Telecaster. When we started the band I had a Japanese reissue Fender jaguar, and I was just playing through a crappy little Fender practice amp. Then I moved on to some Marshall combos.

🎤 I've got three Fender Jaguars, one Fender Jazz master and two Gibson SG's, and they're all older than me. That's very important. The Jags are all women, and they all have names: "Bitch," "Goddess" and "Tattoo". For amps I use a Marshall stack and a Fender Twin to get a fuller, richer sound. My effects setup is simple: Boss delay and Roger Mayer Voodoo Distortion; and I use the built-in overdrive on the Marshall. Occasionally our sound guy will put a Leslie [rotary speaker] effect or a big My Bloody Valentine kind of reverb effect on my guitar.

"𝑮𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔" is a blue colored 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒂𝒛𝒛𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 with a white sparkly pickguard and a purple sticker with her name under the bridge. 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 started using it from the "𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑰'𝒎 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓" mainly to play "𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈", "𝑻𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒔𝒕", "𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔" and "𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏"; He continued to use it until the "𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓". On September 29th, 2017, this guitar was placed among many more items in the "𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 𝑹𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑨𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏" that the band organized to end their 𝟐𝟎𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒚 celebrations and the proceeds were donated to 𝑪.𝑨.𝑳.𝑴 (𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝑨𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒚) a charity dedicated to the prevention of male suicide in the UK and to 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒚 𝑪𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆, the shelter for underprivileged children in Bangkok, Thailand. As a battle mark, "𝑮𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔" had broken the headstock.

The case of this guitar is quite interesting. For a long time I have seen on several sites dedicated to 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐, that when talking about "𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒐" they refer to the 𝑮𝒊𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝑮 guitar with a blue and silver sticker that 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 uses to play the songs "𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑰'𝒎 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈", "𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑴𝒆", "𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑵𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔", etc; However, while I was preparing this post I came across a forum where a guy said that the red colored 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓 with tortoiseshell pickguard is the guitar named "𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒐" and that it was also 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏's second favorite and the sexiest one. Looking at the quote that opens this post, we realize that it is true: 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 "𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒐" 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒂 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝒂 𝑮𝒊𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝑮, as has always been rumored.

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 mainly used this guitar to play songs from 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's first album and he only used it during their first tour. As you well know, in the gigs 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 always changes guitars between songs, but there are exceptions, such as their performance at the 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒚 𝑭𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 in 1996 where he played the whole concert with "𝑻𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒐".

"𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒆" is another 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓 guitar named after the sticker between the pickups of the American silent film star and writer 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔, whose androgynous image created aesthetic trends, scandalized with her roles and her bold and rebellious behavior during the 20s, just as 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 did in the 90s! It is even curious that the press back then compared 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐's hairstyle with 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔' iconic haircut, as you can see in the excerpt below:

🎤 "𝘛𝘪𝘯𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘣, 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯’𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘵, 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘳-𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩. 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘺.

Back on guitar topic, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 started using it on the "𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑰'𝒎 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓" and continued using it until the "𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓". With it he used to play "𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆", "𝑻𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒔𝒕", "𝟑𝟔 𝑫𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔", "𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒚 𝑩𝒐𝒚" and "𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈". Also, we can see 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 𝑶𝒍𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒍 playing this guitar in "𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑴𝒆" official video.

🎤 “I’d like to say a few words about this guitar. I call this guitar my "Baby". It’s from 1956 and it’s the guitar that I do most of my writing on and I absolutely adore it. And it’s beautifully damaged. It’s a Japanese concept called "wabi-sabi" which means that perfection is in the imperfection. And the way this guitar looks represents that perfectly for me.”

With these fond words it's clear that this guitar is pretty special to 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏, so much so that the only time he has ever appeared on stage with it was at an equally special concert, the mesmeric "𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 𝑴𝑻𝑽 𝑼𝒏𝒑𝒍𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒅", where he used it to perform magical versions of the songs 𝟑𝟔 𝑫𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔, 𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖, 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒂𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒃𝒚𝒆, 𝑻𝒐𝒐 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 and 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆.

It is the black guitar with sparkly white pickguard that 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 used to record the song 𝑰.𝑲.𝑾.𝒀.𝑳. (released in the 𝑩𝟑 𝑬𝑷) as well as in the live sessions of the "𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆" album. Last December 4th 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 offered this guitar as a prize draw to people who donated funds to help 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅 and 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's own crew for #ILoveLive month. "𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒘𝒇𝒖𝒍 - 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓!" said about the guitar on the band's official social media.

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧: [...] The last one I named is called Franny, it's a guitar from 1957, and I don’t know if this is correct, but I think that whoever owned it before must have had his guitar in the room while he was sleeping with a groupie, and this groupie sort of scratched her name on the back of the guitar, and because it says Franny on the back, you know, so she's called Franny. The other ones they haven’t names.

This "𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍" is a 𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟕 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔𝒄𝒉 𝑫𝒖𝒐 𝑱𝒆𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑩𝒊𝒈𝒔𝒃𝒚 guitar that 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 started using from the "𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓" to date to perform songs like "𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒓𝒂-𝑹𝒆𝒅", "𝑭𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒑𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆", "𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒂𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒃𝒚𝒆", "𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖", "𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑶𝒇 𝑨 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒅", "𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏", "𝑫𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍 𝑰𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔", "𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆", "𝑩𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒏𝒅", "𝑹𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑼𝒑 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒍" and "𝑩𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄". 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 has two more guitars very similar to this one but they are of other models.
"𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒚" is the only guitar 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 used at the extraordinary 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 concert at 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒌𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒂𝒕 on the songs "𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒔","𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖", "𝑭𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒑𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆", "𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆", "𝑩𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅","𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈" and "𝑻𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒚 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔".

This is how the review of 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐's guitars concludes dear soulmates.
Of course, he has many more guitars; However, the ones we have seen are the ones he has shared more details about, besides, as he has said in the last quote, not all of them have a name.
Thank you so much for reading, I hope you have found this post interesting.

That's right dear soulmates, my post today is dedicated to "𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉", 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐's favorite guitar, a beautiful red-colored 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓 that like all 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏's guitars is female and older than him. This instrument is very important within 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 and deserves a special mention. To begin with, 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒓 𝒔𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏? These are his reasons:

🎙️"I always wanted one," he says. "Because they were Sonic Youth guitars".
▪️𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑘𝑜, 𝐺𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡, 𝟷𝟿𝟿𝟽.

🎙️"When I was sixteen I heard Sonic Youth for the first time and they blew my head off and changed my life really and that was just as I started to play guitar. They sort of opened up so many possibilities and they acted as a sort of trampoline. I explored bands that influenced them from the Stooges the New Wave scene and through The Joy Division and The Fall and Post punk particularly and then when I was in collage I heard PJ Harvey for the first time. At that point I decided I wanted to make music that carried a similar kind of emotional weight and a similar kind of fragility and vulnerability and humanity."

🔸𝑺𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓?

🎙️"Sister and EVOL and Bad Moon Rising, those are my tree favourites."

🔸𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍?

🎙️"Discordant sort of theme to it, yes. It's cos I play the same guitar as they play. As soon as we got a record contract I went out and bought myself a new Jaguar."

🔸𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅?
Strumming behind the tailpiece and playing distorted harmonics has become such a part of our sound that I'm destined to use Jaguars forever for certain songs.
▪️𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑘𝑜, 𝐴𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠, 𝟷𝟿𝟿𝟿.

🎙️𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: “[...] I never wanted to have any lessons or to be taught how to do it. I think that's very important, because if you don't learn how to play the blues then you don't play the blues. You develop your own individual musical style, and I think that is what happened.“

🔸𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏?

🎙️𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏: "Absolutely, it's always been an emotional thing. I remember having a really intense conversation with Paul from AC Acoustics about this. We were at T In The Park, banging our fists on the table, going: `For Christ sake, it's got to fucking mean something!' That's kind of how I feel. I want to make music which moves people emotionally, which has an emotional significance and an emotional weight.
As a performer. I have to place myself in an incredibly vulnerable position - I stand on stage and bleed my heart out to 2,000 strangers and I have to reap the consequences of that afterwards, whether they're good or bad. And it's fine, because if that's what I have to do for the music to be as honest as possible, then that's what I have to do.
The qualities which I attach to Placebo's music - honesty, vulnerability, fragility and humanity - are the qualities which attract people to us, because we're not hiding behind any macho posturings of rock or hiding behind irony and things like that.
I'd like to think of Placebo's music as being very real."
▪️𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑘𝑜, 𝑉𝑜𝑥, 𝟷𝟿𝟿𝟽.

I must confess that this last quote is one of my favorites. I love when 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 talks about 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's music and what he wants to transmit with it. 💗

Well, although in the last two albums "𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏" (2009) and "𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆" (2013) 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 has used more other kinds of guitars, as we saw in the quote above, it is essential that he continues to use 𝑭𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 guitars to perform several 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 songs. Below, I have prepared a list - 😳 a bit long, I hope you don't mind 😁 - with some of the songs
in which 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 uses his beloved "𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉", from the super hits like "𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒚 𝑩𝒐𝒚" and "𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈", to the ones that the band has played live a few times like "𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒚" or just once like "𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓'𝒔 𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒆". Enjoy watching!

Brian Molko PLACEBO 120 · The inside story

The inside story

Coincidence

It all started when I needed a 12AT7 reverb driver valve for a classic Rivera era Fender Super Champ I had sold on e-Bay.

Popping in to see Denis Cornell to buy the valve, we discussed the possibility of working together on some sales and marketing ideas.

As luck would have it, the buyer of the Fender combo turned out to be Craig ‘Hoppy’ Hope, the guitar tech for Chris Martin of COLDPLAY!

Rather than just send it to him, as I’d had dealings with COLDPLAY when I worked at Marshall, I decided to get on a train and meet up with him in London. I thought he might be interested in doing something with Cornell.

During our two hour catch up meeting at the Brewhouse & Kitchen microbrewery on Corsica Street, Islington, Craig happened to mention that he had recently done some tech work for PLACEBO, as Adi Vines, Brian Molko’s guitar tech had taken a couple of weeks off to get married. I said that I’d give him a call as I hadn’t spoken to him for ages.

 

Standing outside The Garage music venue in Islington, I called Adi only to get an overseas ringtone. He was in Frankfurt doing a show with PLACEBO.

I explained that I was helping Denis Cornell, and that if he was interested, I’d love to go through the Cornell range with him when he was back in the UK.

About a week later he called me from Hamburg. He said that he was having trouble with Brian’s Fender ’65 Twin Reissue that was struggling as it was being run flat out with a bunch of distortion pedals, pushing it to its limit, and that it was starting to make some strange noises of its own!

 

 

He said that he’d had a similar problem with a ’60’s Fender Bassman back in the day, when he looked after Gavin Rossdale of BUSH.
The solution back then, was to have a more powerful custom copy made by another valve amp maker.

With this in mind, he asked if Denis would be interested in quoting against another custom amp builder…
After a few consultations it was a natural decision to select Cornell for the Placebo project. Denis Cornell has such a solid understanding of the issues and how to solve them, and has decades of experience building touring-grade equipment that world class artists can rely on.
