156 - Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music)
In episode 156 “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music. In their conversation Phil talks a little bit about where he lives in Sussex in England and his neighbors David Gilmore, Bill Bruford
Then he talks guitars, particularly his Gibson Firebird VII and what he was using for amps back in the day and now and the guitar he’s still craving.
Phil tells us a bit about his book “50 Years of Music” and what he’s using for gear for the book tour and where to get the self published book.
Phil describes growing up in Havana Cuba during the revolution… and learning the guitar amongst the chaos. He also describes living in Hawaii just as it became a state and how that inspired a song “Hula Kula” for Roxy Music.
Phil describes playing through a Hiwatt amp while Brian Ferry was singing in Roxy Music.
Phil tells us about how he ended up in England and how he befriended David Gilmore and he disspells the rumors that he joined Roxy Music initially as a guitar tech.
Phil describes being ahead of his time or at least being the cutting edge of fashion and musical trends and how everyone from Roxy Music at this advanced age are still making music and he describes what being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame means to him and the band.
And finally Phil tells about still playing nylon string guitar mostly to his grandchildren.
