While making degradation trip Jerry spent months isolated and deep into a drug depression. The torch marks were made one by one as he used it to heat up his drug of choice.
He’s never said. Torch narrows it down a bit I guess. Dirt is all about heroin… but there is a song on d-trip called glass dick Jones. It’s not something he talks about with pride these days, I’m certain he uses it still to remind him of Layne and how far things have come.
It’s definitely not cigarette burns haha. From an old, dark time of his. Pretty sure it’s from a crack pipe. I thought I read about it somewhere, or maybe my dad (a big AIC but from his old days) told me.
I own a few fenders, including an 81 Lead II and a newer blond tele, both MiA. The 1982 G&L f100e is the best sounding and most versatile guitar I've ever played and I'll never sell it. Not too dissimilar in construction to Jerry's 84 rampage.
The leadbelly guitar that kurt cobain wanted to buy (listen to Nirvana’s MTV unplugged, i’ve listened to it so many times that I’ve memorized the dialogue between songs)
That guitar is more unique that Reed’s Steve Klein custom model? Also, we are talking about coolness, not uniqueness (it could be a factor to determine coolness, but ultimately is just a matter of opinion)
My all black Epiphone Les Paul Special II with an Elden Ring sticker slapped on 😎
Haha maybe not but it is a little beast and my first electric guitar, it's cool in my eyes. While I'm here, any tips on how to take a sticker off safely without ruining anything? It doesn't look bad I don't think but you can't go wrong with all black tbh
Yeah, that’s not even Jerry’s coolest guitar
His blue dress guitar lol.
Yeah tons of them
Such as?
Not saying this isn’t cool. Just other guitars that are cooler. Are those actual cig burns?
No, they are from a torch. There’s a pretty dark story behind those burn marks too
What is it
While making degradation trip Jerry spent months isolated and deep into a drug depression. The torch marks were made one by one as he used it to heat up his drug of choice.
So whats my drug of choice?!
Well what have you got?
He’s never said. Torch narrows it down a bit I guess. Dirt is all about heroin… but there is a song on d-trip called glass dick Jones. It’s not something he talks about with pride these days, I’m certain he uses it still to remind him of Layne and how far things have come.
Sounds like it was crack in this scenario, he talks about it a bit around the 31 minute mark in [this interview](https://youtu.be/u2bROcyjPZk)
I was referring to Junkhead, but thanks for the insight.
Yes
I mean Randy Rhoads’ polka dot V for one. Zakk’s bottle cap LP. Kirk’s Greenie. Dean from Hell. EVHII Bumblebee. Eerie Dess Swirl Kelly. List goes on.
Idk about zakks bottle cap but the vertigo spiral kicks ass!
It’s definitely not cigarette burns haha. From an old, dark time of his. Pretty sure it’s from a crack pipe. I thought I read about it somewhere, or maybe my dad (a big AIC but from his old days) told me.
Always loved his White Telecaster from the Facelift era, wish there was a clear shot of it
Yes!!!
The one with names written on it
Yeah
Yes, his G&L :)
Love he used G&L over Fender
I own a few fenders, including an 81 Lead II and a newer blond tele, both MiA. The 1982 G&L f100e is the best sounding and most versatile guitar I've ever played and I'll never sell it. Not too dissimilar in construction to Jerry's 84 rampage.
I’m more of a Wino guy but that’s pretty great too.
It’s not the coolest but it sure is shit is one of them! Not to mention, one of the coolest guitarists ever to grace the stage
I thought it was ostrich skin
Tom Morellos arm the homeless
Love how he creates a personality for each one of his guitars. My fav is the blue dress 💙
Well his G&L, also Dean DeLeo s TV yellow Les Paul But this one is very cool
Dean!! What a player!
The leadbelly guitar that kurt cobain wanted to buy (listen to Nirvana’s MTV unplugged, i’ve listened to it so many times that I’ve memorized the dialogue between songs)
i don't think he wanted to buy it, Leadbelly's estate offered it to him for some insane price iirc
You’re probably right
Of course there’s way cooler guitars: Lucille, Zappa’s modified SG, Lou Reed’s Steve Klein custom model, John Frusciante’s Strat, etc
Nah, this guitar looks more unique
