My first record I owned was by Les Paul.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My favorite is still the one that I started off with, which is a Les Paul Standard. I've played that at every gig I've ever had. And that's my starting point in the studio.
My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s.
It's pretty amazing to me that my first hit record was an Elvis Presley record.
I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.
Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.
I've been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.
I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.
The first record I bought was a Carl Perkins record, because I saw him at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho. I loved Elvis and I found out that he wrote 'Blue Suede Shoes'... so connecting that experience of going to see him play was pretty awesome. That's when I realised I wanted to play guitar.
Throughout my years in From First to Last, I was always dabbling and making electronic music on my own time. The first records I ever owned were crossover electronic rock, like Prodigy, Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails.
