SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 For me: 1) Jon Foreman, 2) Angus Young, and 3) Jimmy Page playing his awesome EDS-1275. Either that or daveinspain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Martin Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 [...] Jon Foreman [...] Of Switchfoot? Interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yes, I thought that would receive some feedback. Switchfoot has always been my favourite band for their music, lyrics, diversity, etc. but haven't really inspired me musically; thus the absence of their name in my username. I've seen them in concert a number of times and I've not once seen Jon Foreman without a Gibson SG 61 reissue. In fact, he even has an "Oh Gravity!" SG that he played on their last tour to promote their latest album: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2282/1499088181_9198d6da01.jpg?v=0 http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x79/shooting_star36/Switchfoot/ogguitar.jpg I've only ever seen Jon play a Les Paul once, and that was for the "You Already Take me There" music video. I've never been a huge AC/DC fan but I appreciate Young's talent, therefore his placing as second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Looks like he is playing one of the SG "New Century" models with the mirrored top replaced with their album cover. I was thinking of doing the same thing for my band, damn Jon for being one more step ahead of me. ;-) Unfortunately I don't think many people know who he is (even fewer around here I'm sure). His playing has never really inspired me, but I have always taken a liking to the songwriters. Alot of people can shred their asses off but can't string two chords and some original lyrics together to craft a song, let alone a good one. Switchfoot's material is consistantly decent which is surprising for an "indie" and a "Christian" band. They're probably one of the only real displays of talent in both genres. I appreciated some of their older material a little more as it seemed like they had more energy...their live performances seem a little lackluster from what I have seen. I recall seeing a video of theirs many years ago and he was playing a Naturalburst SG Standard that looked almost identical to mine. I also recall exclaiming "that mother****er stole my ****ing guitar!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well, it is true that Switchfoot's concerts have become more mature lately. I think they're as high-energy as they've ever been, they've just grown up. (I think a large part of that has to do with the additions of Jerome and Drew to the band.) As for talent, I completely agree... and Drew can actually shred quite decently. As for Jon, no, he doesn't inspire me, but he writes some of the coolest guitar parts on the "Learning to Breathe" album. To be honest, I think musical greatness is composed more of writing and originality than it is of how fast one can move their fingers. Thus, my inclusion of Jimmy Page in my top 3. (who else writes guitar parts like that?! honestly!) It's always nice to meet a fellow Switchfoot fan... or at least someone who respects their music.

Tim Plains Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 You mean, other guys play SGs, too? I thought the only two players were Tony Iommi and Angus Young. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Angus Iommi Clapton Townsend That guy from The Doors Jimmy Page if you count the EDS-1275, though I have read he did occasionally play an SG live in the late 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRaven Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Honestly, believe it or not, it's the guy from Fall Out Boy: What can I say, I'm a young pop-punk geek.

Marcelo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 When I hear "SG", the first thing I think of is: 1) Angus 2) the younger one of the Young brothers 3) the guy that plays in his shorts and in a school uniform 4) the kid that played lead guitar for Bon Scott's band 5) the lead guitarist of AC/DC (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
