Slipknot - New interview with Paul Gray!

Slipknot - New interview with Paul Gray!

Ibanez spent some time talking to Paul Gray at NAMM this past weekend.

Here’s a part of it…

Ibanez: What originally inspired you to start playing music?

Paul: I've been a music fan as far back as I can remember. I think the band that actually made me pick up an instrument was Slayer. I saw them on the Hell Awaits tour, and I knew I wanted to do that. So I got a guitar. My first guitar ended up getting traded for meth, not by me but by some friends of mine [laughs]. There were other influences, but that show really was what started it all for me.

Ibanez: I know that you write a lot of the music in Slipknot. How does that process usually work for you?

Paul: I write a lot of stuff at home during the time off. I'll have a bunch of riffs, full songs, and partial pieces put together. When it's getting close to time to record, Joey and I will meet and put some basic songs together just to get something started. Everybody can come in and put their input in on all the ideas, too. We write on the spot, too. Somebody might just be noodling around, and we'll start putting something together based off of that idea. There's no real set way of doing it.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine interviewed by Harmony Central at NAMM!

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine interviewed by Harmony Central at NAMM!

Harmony Central conducted an interview with Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine at the Marshall booth at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which is being held January 14-17, 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Watch the chat below.

Marshall Amplification is introducing the new Dave Mustaine special edition MG microstack guitar amplifier, dubbed the Megastack. The three-piece unit includes a 15-watt compact head with four channels, plus two matching speaker cabinets — one angled and one straight. Each cabinet is loaded with a full-range 10" Celestion speaker. Available in extremely limited quantities in the U.S., the amplifier looks like a compact version of Mustaine's legendary full sized touring rig that he uses with Megadeth.

Mustaine will be signing autographs at the Dean Guitars booth (booth 5466B)

- Friday, January 15 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- Saturday, January 16 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
