Sorry Graham, couldn't tell you as they only showed a shot of all the headstocks. Lots of beautiful Rickenbacker headstocks and a few fug ugly Fender and Gibsons!

Did Gem buy your 1998?

Wel sort of.........Andy bought it, but asked me to deliver it to Gem's house

The program was repeated last night and I got a closer look at Gem's Rickenbackers.
Every one on the guitar rack was a fireglo.

He must have thought your jetglo 1998 was ****.

Why do you think I sold it

Tu put something new, I found a video from the gig in Milan were Gem plays the solid top:

Good spot. That 450 sounds good, nice and crisp. The song's a bit lame though - the recording probably doesn't help much.

To revitalize the topic: here are some pictures I took at the Beady Eye gig in Rome last October:

Gem with the Rose Morris 1997SPC (for "Beatles and Stones" and "Millionaire")
the 360 (on "the Roller")
again with the Rose Morris for "The Beat Goes On" and "3 Ring Circus"

and then Andy with a 330/12
and for the last track Gem used the 450!

Nice photos Giovanni, thanks for posting them.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds > Beady Eye


Not that Beady Eye is bad at all....but in my opinion it's easy to see where the talent in Oasis went.

Agreed. It feels like early days for Beady Eye. Still, I like that they got "My Generation" and the outro riff to "The Good's Gone" in a song called "Beatles and Stones".

andy BELL?

oh my.. he is one of my top crushes ever..

Terrific photos Giovanni. I almost feel I am there. What make and Model camera do you have? A great night to show off Rickenbackers.

Indeed, great quality pictures! I never knew Beady Eye used Rics! Anyway, I still prefer Noel's High Flying Birds

i prefer andy bell playing backup to noone! i am surprised at disappointed beady eye fans, i guess i had no expectations, everyone knows that noel was the songwriter for oasis so if i want oasis level songwriting (and i do) ..i'm team noel all the way! i also happen to enjoy his singing very much.

however gem and andy.. two fine, fine looking men holding beautiful guitars. i'll take it.
