    awesome interview!!! Dave is cool and enthusiast guitarist. really makes the interviewing more alive. fascinating on how pop rockers are more concern about their guitar sound. their approach in sound way more complex than metal guitarists. even only for clean sound :-D reminds me of steve lukather, who's also have a big and complex rig. hope PG will interview him very soon

    Dave really is a “gear head” and just loves to tour with an enormous amount of gear and guitars. His guitar and amp collection is one of the biggest in the world. And yes he is a nice guy, I’ve met him several times and had the honour of sharing pizza with him in London in 2008 backstage at the O2. What a guy. Great video too.

    • @leecalvinmusic
      @leecalvinmusic 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I also can’t help thinking that Gary Richrath used not much more that two Marshall 100 watt lead heads a couple of Marshall cabs, the occasional Wah Wah, a selection of ‘59 LPs and that’s about it.

    Hey Dave, I'm so envious of your rig. I've dreamed of owning a Bob Bradshaw designed rig since the 80's. After seeing you play many years ago, in Tulsa, OK with REO, I fell in love with your sound. Anyway, if you ever feel like lightning the load. I'd be honored. Keep up the great job your doing keeping the rock of the seventies and eighties alive.

    @bestever5511 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I knew Dave back in the early 80's in LA. He lived with a girl named Kyle Tussi in West LA. Dave and I did some writing together, nothing came of it, and we would socialize, dinner, parties. I had a video out at the time on VH1 and ask Dave to put a band together with me. I passed on him and used somebody else. We knew the same group of people at that time, Ricky Phillips, (pre- Styx), Tim Pierce, Jonathan( Journey) and Mugs Cain, ( his brother). It seems after Dave got his REO gig he lost his memory because several of his friends from that time tried to contact him...crickets. Happens I guess. Rock & Roll Alzheimer's!

      He really is like that. Just freaking cool. Plus the dude has amazing feel and tone. I hung out with him through a mutual friend, and he's always been like that . I went and saw David Huff's band Giant in Long Beach (Bogarts) with him and John Elephante, the singer from Kansas. He was so cool. We hung out at NAMM as well for the entire day. He knows everybody!! When Jim Marshall saw him, it was like he saw his son. Old man Marshall loved him. At GIBSON, he was showing me Les Pauls. I remember him handing me a Les Paul after holding a long note and him saying you need dont need anymore sustain than that. This was just after he started playing with REO. He was still Cher's guitar player back then as well. He is the nicest coolest guitar player in the business, with great stories, especially the Nugent days', And he does know how to get tone with every old school trick. He taught me how to roll back volume properly. Amato rules.
