the guitarist in tera Melos and Thurston Moore talking and playing guitar together? man this is so great.

Thurston really put a sounding rod under his strings on Fender live

35:53 and I miss SY being a band. They've been releasing a bunch of live gigs from the 80's and 90's lately through their Bandcamp page and it's so cool to listen to them through the years and hear the songs kind of shift into something more "traditional" for lack of a batter term in the early to mid 90's. After A Thousand Leaves they turned to a more expansive sound again but never lost the magic that made them special. I saw their last NYC show in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on the waterfront and I'm so glad nobody knew it was the last one. Hoping that they'll reunite someday. It won't be soon, but I do think it'll happen after things settle.

Wow great interview! Nick and Thurston together is amazing!

I see a Reinhart/Moore project in the future

Thurston made another visit to our guitar store in Mooreland a year ago and said if he had it his way he would "put ibanez players in chains and make them build his railroads." He looked extra ketchupy this visit, i think he might have had a few drinks at Peanut's Gallery, a local bar here. I dont know what his problem was, but he sure hates the guys from Korn for some reason. We sold him a round silver pitch pipe.

This is absolutely brilliant - thank you Fender!
