Twin guitars!
Thin Lizzy!
Jimmy Page and the Spirit lawsuit!
British rockers Wishbone Ash are one of the major innovators of the harmony twin lead guitar format; inspiring such bands as Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and Metallica.
Co-founder/frontman/guitarist Andy Powell talks to Dave Michaels about developing that twin lead guitar attack, seeing Thin Lizzy in the audience at one of their early shows and watching the Led Zeppelin - Spirit lawsuit play out in the press.
See Wishbone Ash on their 2016 "Take It Back" tour, Thursday, September 22, 7pm at The Upper Room in Albany! http://theupperroomalbany.com/event/wishbone-ash-live-at-the-upper-room/
Talking about Thin Lizzy borrowing that twin guitar sound from Wishbone Ash, Andy tells Dave, "if you listen to the coda of 'Boys Are Back In Town', that's the ending of 'Blowin' Free', but it's turned around a little bit." What do you think?
