Play guitar?Close up: Lead guitarist’s guitar revealed

Interview with Aodhan, titled “Gone mad?”

In this article we will be detailing the lead guitarist’s guitar, so if you play guitar, this article is for you!

First of all, let’s not beat around the bush, the guitar favoured by our lead guitarist is a Jackson JS32T King V Electric Guitar in ivory; if you know anything about this instrument, you’ll know that a Jackson is most definitely a decent make, a very well-known guitar brand. If you’re new to the guitar scene, I wouldn’t advise buying this though as it is a somewhat expensive guitar and so would not be good as a first guitar. A guitar of this quality would cost you around £250 whereas a normal electric guitar, (for example your first guitar), could cost you less than £100.

Our personal recommendation for the budget busters would be the simple, yet charming Yamaha Pacifica 112V, which is one of the longest standing-all out great budget guitars. The quality finish coated with a yellow natural satin makes it the best guitar in its price range. This guitar is favoured by ZZ. Our very own Aodhan had this to say about ZZ’s latest performance at…..

“I was lucky enough to catch ZZ during their rehearsals and they were kind enough to lend me some of their time for an interview after which I was not disappointed. You know how you’re told not to meet your role model in case they are really different to the way in which you imaging them? Well, this was (luckily I might add) not the case. ZZ are even nicer than they appear to be. On the outside they are every bit the ‘cool punk rock band’ and while that stays true within their music, they are in actuality (and I hope they don’t mind me saying this), juxtaposed.

Although they are a little mad (as shown in the picture above!) in person they give off the impression that they wouldn't hurt a fly, even after being rudely interrupted by me during their all-important rehearsal time. They answered all the questions I had and took their time to furnish me with detailed responses as if they genuinely wanted to chat to me and anyone else out there.

I’m not trying to tarnish their name as a ‘cool rock band’ or anything but I doubt most rock band members would offer you tea in the middle of rehearsals now would they? They were a joy to be around and it was a joy listening to their music in person; I dare say it’s even better in person! It’s yet another reason to buy the concert tickets (on sale very soon). As part of this tour, the band is really hoping to travel. Lead singer James stated that, ‘we are hoping to tour England in due time. We think it’ll be a great experience and we haven’t been to England before on a tour, so we wouldn’t want to disappoint any fans that can't make it elsewhere would we Will?’

I had a blast interviewing them. As always, make sure to tune in next week and keep rocking.
