Danny on 01/01/2013	Falicia is terribly under rated, great guitar player and singer. Wish the folks at home could see more of them actually playing whole song occasionally.
daniel on 11/26/2012	can't believe she didn't ask him (specifically) what kind of strings and picks he uses. would have been interesting to know.
leslie england on 11/19/2012	Rebecca- thank you, I've been searching for details on Syd's gear for years. My 54 strat was well used but all original. Was afraid to gig with it after 95. Damn!! Nice goldtop too!! Hard to believe Syd can get by with a showman, so clean and loud, on such a small stage. Is it loud in the theater? Thanks, Syd!
TLF on 11/13/2012	Great interview- great to hear these guys converse with such passion over their craft and their tools...
Jonathan on 11/12/2012	This video cracked me up what a group of semi-crazy totally awesome musicians and gear-heads!
Doug on 11/10/2012	The wireless Rebecca is talking about with Sid is the Line 6 Relay system with cable tone. I have one and it is the best wireless there is. No problems. I think Mike Campbell is using them now. Good video.
Spanky on 11/09/2012	cha ching...there's some money on that stage!! Nice stuff and nice to see someone not afraid to mod even a 50's guitar.
Doc on 11/08/2012	Love Sid --- a real cool guy and player. Really enjoyed this video. Don't know how/why he got hooked up with such a prick like Letterjerk!
Dave Askren on 11/08/2012	A lot of fun and informative. Sid, doing mods himself - that's a handful!
Stormin Norm on 11/07/2012	Have always loved Sid's playing - especially when they let him loose on a solo usually at the end of the show. He's seems so down to earth and excited about & into his gear and doing his own modifications by and? large. I was surprised to see how basic the array of pedals he uses is - i gather it's how he uses it that makes the difference What a guy! Live long, play strong!
