What's the won on the right?
Gibson SG, innit. As wielded to great effect by Kelly Jones.
You can say whatever you like about the Stereophonics, but Kelly Jones hammering his SG is a wondrous sight and sound.
He has a fine collection of tan leather jackets, you know.
Kelly Jones my hole. Fúcking Welsh midget.
I knew I recognised the axe, as such.
"Also present on the new album is his cherry-red 1968 Gibson SG, which Weller flat-out calls the greatest guitar he’s ever owned."
It would appear that the Jones connection is the more important. "His main guitar is a cherry red Gibson SG, now widely known as the "Kellycaster"."
Must say I have never really understood the success or attraction of the Welsh trio.
I met the original drummer (now dead) on a night out in Cardiff, night before our cup final win over United. A chaotic night of alcohol and beak ensued, from a small city centre nightclub to a domestic premise in Roath.
Despite being life-long friends he did not speak kindly on occasion about your Mr Jones.
Are they still a going concern?
I believe they are still playing live and releasing music, although I don't suppose I've bought an album of theirs in 15 years. I've seen them live a few times and very much enjoy their show. They have quite a brutal guitar sound which appeals to my inner rocker, and Jones can really sing. I'd suggest that with a little more quality in the writing department they could have been quite a huge phenomenon.
Have you started to compile the play list for Saturday afternoon's tear up yet?
