McBob (Ron's tech) video interview

apex-twin

The GNR guitar tech McBob worked with back from the AFD days, when he was Duff's tech. He was called back in following the release of CD and was placed as Ron's tech.

What I picked up in the vid, for one, was the overall weight of Ron's doublenecks, and McBob also demonstrated they needed to rebalance the guitars with a divers weight tied into the strap. To think he needs to put up with the additional hardship every night he plays it while healing.... Sheesh.

If the World is mentioned as a setlist possibility, as Ron has a specific acoustic guitar for it. McBob also makes some sly hints about other (semi)acoustic numbers, which may pop in at some point.

Interesting point is how the stage amps have been covered to make it as silent as possible, with mainly the drums and some bass going on. McBob mentions how this "helps the singer".

Overall, interesting little nuggets if you're curious about the live sound.

I'd like a McBob with fries please.

Interesting technical stuff. Thx for posting. Kinda interesting to see a former Duff tech, back with the band working with Ron.

I wonder why he's playing the double neck, especially since the poor guy is still hurting. Nothing wrong with a Les Paul.

I know. Ron acknowledged me singing along at the Orlando show, and immediately arched his back way back with the guitar, and my friend said "why does he keep doing that? It can't be good for his back!"

I think Ron is just trying to give the fans the same show without subtracting anything.... except his own health. True rock n' roll veteran, but at the same time I worry about him.
